The `ls` command doesn't work

Question

When I open cmder and type "ls", it does not show any folders, why is that?

Hi there @ab1ude,

Please check if you have cmder full or cmder mini. Only the full editions comes with the ls command.

Also, you need to post a screenshot here of what it looks like when you type in ls. Do you get a error like this?

'ls' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Or, do you get nothing at all? In which case, what is the output of dir in the same directory? You can print the current working directory using cd.

Post all of these I asked you so I can help you with your problem.

Not sure if its a separate issue, but it seems that sometimes when I run ls, the window hangs after showing the folders (there aren't that many)

C:\..\odin\vendor\raylib
λ ls
easings.odin  LICENSE  linux  macos  macos-arm64  raygui.odin  raylib.odin  raymath.odin  README.md  rlgl  wasm  windows

And the tab just hands as running "ls.exe"

Please try Cmder with other terminal emulators beside ConEmu (as shown in your screenshot); that way we can find out the source of the problem.

I'd suggest opening conhost.exe and running cmder_shell.cmd from the guide below to try out the issue again.
