emacs-libvterm VS beacon

Also, look into vterm_prompt_end to get this updated vterm-buffer-local anytime your prompt emits the cwd. https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm

Emacs or term? If the latter, I'd recommend using vterm if it is a possibility for you - https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm

They are actually working on even better Emacs integration. Granted, vterm is an external library, so there will always be a layer between the editor and the terminal.

I've followed the steps shown in the README: sh vterm_printf() { if [ -n "$TMUX" ] && ([ "${TERM%%-*}" = "tmux" ] || [ "${TERM%%-*}" = "screen" ]); then # Tell tmux to pass the escape sequences through printf "\ePtmux;\e\e]%s\007\e\\" "$1" elif [ "${TERM%%-*}" = "screen" ]; then # GNU screen (screen, screen-256color, screen-256color-bce) printf "\eP\e]%s\007\e\\" "$1" else printf "\e]%s\e\\" "$1" fi } vterm_prompt_end() { vterm_printf "51;A$(whoami)@$(hostname):$(pwd)" } setopt PROMPT_SUBST PROMPT=$PROMPT'%{$(vterm_prompt_end)%}' but it is simply not working.

Have checked out https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm? It has everything you need to know. Since you are a developer I expect it will be easy for you. Thanks for sharing your experience:)

Install the absolutely excellent vterm package: https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm

https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm is a possible best of both worlds that I haven't tried yet.

Agreed. I've had success with beacon-mode for the same purpose. Making C-v and M-v scroll by half pages also helps.

I use https://github.com/Malabarba/beacon

beacon which-key auto-package-update dired-hacks helm

Malabarba/beacon: A light that follows your cursor around so you don't lose it!

I use beacon-mode for this.

I’d add that for 1) beacon is a good package. For 2), this may be an issue where you have multiple emacs configuration files. This is a serious problem. 3) be patient, and use the magic GC hack. To add to that, you should probably set the GC threshold to be high. 4) projectile? 5)emacs -nw.
