    Since you use Emacs, why not use Eat or vterm?

  • Modern Python REPL in Emacs using VTerm
    5 projects | dev.to | 11 May 2024
    From my jolly Julia days I’m used to julia-vterm. This emacs package runs a Julia REPL using a full terminal emulator (emacs-libvterm). So in the pursuit of a nice hack, I M-x replace-string’d the word juliawith python and gave it a shot. Remarkably, the whole thing just worked without much tweaking and you can enjoy the result by checking out the GitHub repo.

    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
  • BASH, ZSH, FISH. How about Eshell?

    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.
  • libvterm directory tracking not working?
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 21 Dec 2022
    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.
