Summary

Can't figure out what commands to specify on using a new path for terminal tool
Was trying to switch to some terminal which satisfies my requirements:

Questions:

Is the command for making it run on some other terminal known?
What is the helper file on linux? thinking about: maybe it's easier to call bash on mintty than cmd on mintty

Details

Thanks

I quite like the "F5 to run" option in geany,
how it abstracts the running procedure for stuff with that geany-run-helper.bat file¹, it's nice
and even more so the super awesome "Build Menu"² including predefined rules, as well as "make with custom targets". thanks a lot for such efficient and flexible implementation 😊

Problem

for "f5 to run", as the command cmd.exe /Q /C %c ³⁴ shows already, it runs with cmd <-- as also suggested by extension .bat i guess
and cmd runs by default with conhost , which is not easily themeable. That's why I want to change it.

Tries & Attempts

I tried theming conhost with colortool⁵ but, suffice to say, it didn't work
To change to mintty (installed via Msys), I thought directly putting mintty -e as in: mintty -e cmd.exe /Q /C %c or mintty -e cmd.exe /Q /C "%c" but it didn't work

Teminal's requirements

requirements	mintty	conhost	others?
customisable font	v	v
the font size corresponds one-to-one	v	XX
default window size can be easily specified	v	v
easily themeable	v	XX

Environment

OS: Windows 10 20H2
Geany: 1.38 "Sulamar" (built on or after Oct 9 2021)
Mintty: mintty 3.6.1 (x86_64-pc-msys)
