@felixse how to run FluentTerminal when you use the "cmd" shortcut in the windows search or in the file explorer

hanskokx commented 3 years ago

Let me see if I can help, here. cmd.exe is an executable program in C:\Windows\System32. Fluent Terminal is a separate executable program, not named "cmd.exe". Since critical processes may depend on the presence of cmd.exe, it is not recommended to replace it with anything else.

If you would like to invoke Fluent Terminal using a similar mechanism (as, for example, pressing Win+R, typing "cmd", then pressing Enter), you can replace "cmd" with "flute".

@hanskokx For me, the main problem is not to be able to launch FluentTerminal from the file explorer when you write "cmd" instead of the path.

You will need to change the way you approach the problem, as what you are asking for is strongly discouraged and could run the risk of damaging your windows installation.

There's no way around it. What you are asking for cannot be done.

I just realized that you can launch any terminal from the file explorer by writing its name... So I just have to write "flute" instead of "cmd". I think it solves my problem
