emacs-libvterm

My experience is that Emacs wants to be your everything, and works best if you let it. Have you tried putting your terminals inside of Emacs instead of the other way around? * If you need a "real" terminal emulator, you can use something like vterm (https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm/). * If you need to be able to attach/detach Emacs sessions on remote machines, you can use something like dtach or abducto (https://www.brain-dump.org/projects/abduco/).

Sorry for the tangent: I was very eager to try vterm until I read that people have had issues with evil-mode [1]. Any idea whether eat and evil can get along? [1] https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm/issues/313

Same here. I just use https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm and https://github.com/suonlight/multi-vterm

> 3. Terminals Since you use Emacs, why not use Eat or vterm? https://codeberg.org/akib/emacs-eat https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm > 4. File Manager (gui) Why not use Dired? (More than 90% of the time, I only run Emacs, Firefox and nothing else, which is why tiling is useless for me.)

Consider vterm instead of ansi-term. It is a fully-fledged terminal emulator. https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm

Hi! Happy to see someone interested in using Emacs for Julia work. I recommend the following packages for your setup: julia-vterm (https://melpa.org/#/julia-vterm) (https://github.com/shg/julia-vterm.el) ob-julia-vterm (https://melpa.org/#/ob-julia-vterm) (https://github.com/shg/ob-julia-vterm.el) FYI, julia-vterm depends on: julia-mode (https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/julia-mode.html) (https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-emacs) vterm (https://melpa.org/#/julia-vterm) (https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm)

Nice, but I have moved to https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm and I'm not looking back

I switched from ansi-term to vterm (https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm) and its performance is much better (specially when dealing with large bursts of output).

As an Emacs and Lisp lover, the description of text-based tools and the power of using text to me just screams why something like Lisp is so powerful: homoiconicity. (And at least one big difference for elisp compared to Bash.) To quote Wikipedia [0] for anyone unfamiliar with the term, as I was until learning some Lisp: "A language is homoiconic if a program written in it can be manipulated as data using the language, and thus the program's internal representation can be inferred just by reading the program itself. This property is often summarized by saying that the language treats "code as data"." [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoiconicity (Edit: and if you want a good terminal emulator, you have eshell (emacs-y), ansi-term, and my current fave vterm [1]) [1] https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm

You could (sort of) reduce it to two, at least in terms of interfaces by using vterm in emacs [https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm] rather than xterm.

> a good terminal mode so I don't need to switch to another terminal, the builtin terminals either lag badly after 10K lines of input or render/behave strangely when used with ncurses programs I found vterm[1] to be pretty reliable for any kind of "advanced" terminal use. Also much faster when dealing with large amounts of output. [1]: https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm

For long output and ncurses, libvterm may suffice https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm. The rest of the time, eshell is very comfortable for me.

I _highly_ recommend emacs-libvterm. Without a doubt, it's an advanced install, so I'm not arguing its better for beginners, but I adore it just the same. https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm
