I want to use raw linux with commandline. Without any GUI application. Now I am booting into linux terminal which looks like this: (Debian-Based Keyboard Shortcut Alt + F3 [It was Alt + F2 in Arch-based])
Raw Terminal
But I want to use it as my configured layout which looks like this:
GUI Layout
How can I configure bootable terminal to use my main layout
Also what is this "bootable" terminal called (Grub Terminal maybe?)
Issues:
-> Terminal is not true color, Vim colors or other Theme related configurations does not work
-> Terminal does not support NerdFonts or emojis: Some Cli's that I use looks dreadful
Thank you for your help.
My default Terminal does not work at all
I expected it to work?

I hope you guys are doing well.
Does anybody know the keyboard shortcut to open a new terminal tab on "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows"? I have tried several shortcuts like ctrl + shift + t etc... but without success.
I have also tried install xdotool. However, when I type xdotool key ctrl+shift+t, the output I have is:
Error: Can't open display: (null)
Failed creating new xdo instance
Thank you for helping me!
Bash doesn't do tabs; that's the terminal emulator's or console manager's job. If you have a console manager that supports multiple tabs then use whatever keyboard shortcut it has for that.

I wanted to play around with the new Linux Subsystem (Ubuntu on Windows 10) but I can't type Pipe Character. I was playing around with the keyboard layout but nothing helped...
I use a standard German Keyboard and normally have to press Alt Gr + < to get a Pipe Symbol but nothing happens on the bash. Other Alt Gr Combinations like square brackets are working.
Does anyone else have this problem?

For US standard keyboard am able to type pipe character. Follow the below mentioned steps to change the keyboard layout
Add a keyboard layout:
Click the Start menu and select Settings.
Select Time & language.
Click Region & language in the left column.
Under Languages click the language you want as default (English US Keyboard) and click Set as default.
From memory this is a known issue with the 23/Oct/2015 Windows Update for Windows 10 (TP) I believe, but I can now, no longer find the post that I was reading. But it had something to do with wrong device drivers, that needed to be removed in Device Manager, then bounce the machine, and it should auto-magically install the correct driver..
I'm sorry I cannot be more helpful at this stage.. I'll keep looking for the article.. Until then, have you tried the on-screen keyboard? and have you just tried using left-ctrl and alt? That is a standard alternative for right-alt, but I suspect that the latter of the two at least, will not work. But the on-screen KB may.

I cant figure out why, but my vim74 on Windows 8 wont maximize. In fact it is very limited to a certain size.
This is the max size and I don't know how to make it bigger.
Also when I input a command (e.g. :q) character that I didn't input comes up
like :<-[1 q when I do :q
Thank you in advance
Based on the screenshot (and missing menus), it looks like you're using Vim in the Windows console (cmd.exe), which cannot be maximized in the usual way. You have the following options:
Use GVIM; it offers more (visual) features, and the biggest disadvantage, more clumsy shell integration, isn't that important on Windows, anyway.
Use the Windows console menu (right mouse button on the top-left icon > Defaults > /Layout\ > Windows Size) to resize it.
Inside Vim, you can influence the size via
:set lines=40 columns=120
and the console will resize accordingly.

Mac OS X has a neat little command-line function 'open'.
% open <file>
Does whatever a double-click on that file would do. But via the command-line (Terminal).
Does Windows have something like this? How do I get a non-executable file to be opened with the default program in the OS for that file-type?
I think it is start "<file>".
If it's a recognised file type, you can simply type the filename, and it will open it in your preferred application. For example,
my_favorite_porn.mp4
is not something you should do when your wife is nearby :-)
Note that, if it's a Windows application, it will auto-magically satrt in the background and your prompt will be returned to you. If it's something like a command-line application, it will run in the context of the current command window. If you want to start those in a separate window, you can use:
start cmdlineprog.exe
explorer <file>

When I run mvim from OS X's Terminal.app command line, it brings up the GUI version of Vim. But, when I close the GUI Vim widow (via :q), the window focus is left on the MacVim app (even though there is no open window). This quite annoying, as it means I have to then refocus to the terminal window I ran the app from so I can continue to use the command line.
This is also different from the default way it works in Windows XP and Linux (at least in Ubuntu & RHEL).
I can see maybe some hack ways of doing this - like changing the mvim script to run vim with the "-f" (foreground) option, and then running some Mac command to refocus the Terminal. Anyone have a simple way to do this?
