Dealing with tty / pty in MSYS2 shells

In my experience, the biggest practical hurdle when running a mix of native and MSYS2 programs is related to tty / pty. I wish I understood perfectly what is going on but at least I think I can explain the problem and what are the options. When I learn more, I'll be happy to update this post.

The problem

When you run a shell of your choice like bash.exe or zsh.exe, you have three main options:

1. Run it in the mintty terminal.
2. Run it in Windows console ("cmd.exe").

This has been sent to several freelancers on Fiverr.

I'm looking for an extension that provides MRU (most-recently-used) tab behavior in Chrome on Windows. This is generally hard to achieve as it's not supported natively but I think there's a trick: there's a CLUT extension that implements the MRU behavior (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clut-cycle-last-used-tabs/cobieddmkhhnbeldhncnfcgcaccmehgn) and I can manually update the Preferences file to change the CLUT's default Alt+S shortcut to Ctrl+Tab. Then it works for a single session. The problem is that after I restart Chrome, the shortcut is back to Alt+S.

So the gig would be about creating an extension (or an extension plus a small Chrome app) that:

• Expects CLUT to be installed
• On every Chrome start, or shortly after that, searches the Preferences file for Alt+S and replaces it with Ctrl+Tab.

That's it. If I understand the security constraints correctly, this would need to be a pair of Chrome app that has the filesystem
