The default Cygwin console sucks - it inherits all the evil features of Window's cmd.exe like bad copy-pasting, getting to full screen mode is a pain...
I have lately been using minTTY and it's been great. You can install it through Cygwin. Other details can be found here. All your favorite linux bash shortcuts, like Alt-B, Ctrl-K, should work fine. The only thing it misses compared to my all time favorite terminal, Konsole, is the ability to have tabs.
