Internet / DASH (Dooble Awesome Shell)
« on: March 11, 2026, 02:21:26 am »
So the latest release of Dooble introduces a new thing, to quote,
With Dooble-Qt5, it works well. You get a bash shell and you can even enter cmd.exe and get a cmd shell. Seems to work as expected. There are limitations such as no interactive commands and starting a PM app blocks the shell until it exits. In cmd.exe can use start to work around it. The bash equivalent doesn't work. 4OS2 is also somewhat broken due to trying to use colours in the prompt and such.
Unluckily with Dooble-Qt6, attempting to run any command results in the tab closing. Perhaps other versions of Qt6 work better. It's a shame as I was thinking of permanently enabling it.
Binaries for those that want to test,
