VirtualBox Terminal: Not Responding / Inactive - linux

I am having a problem using terminal in a Linux VirtualBox Terminal. This terminal is being used to compliment the StanfordOnline "Compilers" course on edX, the language for the class is called "cool".
Within this terminal I used the command "emacs 1.cl" in order to open the file "1.cl" with emacs. After I enter this command the file is successfully opened but the command prompt does not reappear, instead everything I type is just greyed text (see screenshot - Terminal is black window on left).
Why is this happening? I can start typing commands again if I close and then re-open terminal, but I think there must be a reason why this happens. Anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance, let me know if I can provide any more helpful information regarding the course or the software. Running VirtualBox on MacOS Catalina 10.15.4 if it makes any difference.

How to use Neovim as External editor for Godot (Godot executable permissions)

I am trying to configure Godot to use launch Neovim in iTerm2 when I double click on a file containing code in the editor, however, a terminal window pops up instead with the following error:
/Users/myusername/.../Scripts/Player.gd; exit
zsh: permission denied: /Users/.../Scripts/Player.gd
This error message quickly goes away before I can read it and I am presented with an empty neovim window but it hasn't opened the file I clicked on. Additionally, the current working directory for the neovim window is my home directory (not the directory the project is based in)
I am running macOS Catalina with iTerm2 and Godot 3.2.2. My settings to open neovim in
Editor->Editor Preferences->Text Editor->External:
"exec path":iTerm2 executable (I tried pointing to the actual nvim executable, but that didn't seem to work).
exec flags: "nvim {file}".
My understanding is that this should open iTerm and execute the command "nvim [insert filename here]", opening Neovim.
I tried some solutions, including creating a neovim.desktop file, however, nothing seems to work. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can give Godot the correct permissions I'd love to hear it. Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thank you!

How to change the text of the command to run an app in Linux?

I use Arch. For example, in order to run Google Chrome in terminal you have to run the long command google-chrome-stable. How can I change this command to make it more concise (chrome, for example)? I run this browser often from the terminal because it's more convenient for web-development when you write some html/css code in text editor and run it using the browser to see how it works.
Thank you! And sorry for my English, it's not my first language.
The problem is solved. I've just added the line alias chrome="google-chrome-stable" to my ~/.bashrc file and reboot the system.

Debugger in PyCharm doesn't run

When I start my project and tap Shift+F10, PyCharm open console with "/usr/bin/python3.7". Code doesn't running, even if I reboot Linux.
I changed interpreter to System, then on Virtual but it doesn't change anything
Ok, I have switch some options in "Debug Configuration"
Exactly I edit script path to the main.py
On picture I emphasize by mouse, what I exactly changed

Git bash, using VIM 8.1 on Windows :Term command. Node REPL not working correctly

I'm working on a corporate network (windows pc) with little access to tools like tmux, cmder etc.. however after recent update to git bash, we have access to Vim v8.1 which has a terminal built in.
I can load up vim and the type :term to load up a terminal... it works for standard terminal operations such as ls or git push etc.. but when you run node it seems to crash. And it doesn't render the node repl prompt.
Anyone know how I can get this working? (As predicted it works on the mac)... this is really useful to test out an algorithm quickly without leaving vim.
I also tried just typing !node to execute outside of vim and this has the same effect.
Any clues would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Kevin
I figured it out...
You just type node -i for interactive (This isn't needed on the vim 8.1 on the mac)

Using tmux through Cygwin: "open terminal failed: not a terminal"

I'm trying to use tmux on a Windows Computer. I successfully installed tmux using
apt-cyg install tmux
I can confirm successful installation because I get the following:
$ tmux -V
tmux 2.3
However, when I try to type "tmux" in the console, I get the following error:
open terminal failed: not a terminal
Any thoughts?
It sounds like the terminal you're using doesn't support full tty emulation. Clients like mintty (comes with Cygwin---or should, anyway), putty, rxvt for Windows, &c. will handle that. CMD, ConEmu, and Cmder won't.
There's not much to be done here without a huge ordeal (See second comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8577817). Unsatisfying though it may be, the best answer is to make sure you're running mintty. CYGWIN.bat should run it out of the box, so if that's not working, try running it directly from Explorer instead of from CMD. Otherwise, you might need to poke around in the batch file and make sure C:\Cygwin64\bin\mintty (or what have you) is being called.
