[BUG]: Unable to select when using on GitBash #98
Description
Version
0.2.4
OS
Windows
Describe the bug
If you use native GitBash, you cannot choose, eg. vfox use and vfox search
Screenshots[optional]
NOTE: It's not vfox's issue, it's pterm/pterm#616
Temporary solution
The best option I found thus far is:
install the Microsoft Terminal
create a Terminal profile for Git Bash
run git bash inside the Terminal
All interaction will work as expected while still keeping the benefits of Git Bash 💃
If you have bash as a VS Code terminal, running interactive commands there will work also.
