Efficient way to get the buffer switched from (last buffer)?
For the background story: I have modified an old Emacs library to toggle to a shell in the current working directory, which I am very happy with since it is very small (~100 sloc) and very predictable (always below the buffer I edit). Now, I just want to add a small touch for working with ielm: when I toggle ielm, I wish to set its working buffer to the buffer I edit. Since I will call this in ielm-mode-hook, I need to know the last buffer I was editing, i.e. "the buffer I came from".

How to stop eshell mode from destroying my buffer?
You can try this terminal toggle. Put eshell or term on a key, term-toggle-eshell or term-toggle-term and you can press that key to toggle ehsell/term on or off as you need it.

BASH, ZSH, FISH. How about Eshell?
Or term-toggle, which despite the name has nothing to do with eshell-roggle 😀. It can toggle all of available "terms" in Emacs, if someone wants to add support for vterm I am happy to get a PR.

How do you use the terminal during a coding session?
You can also try this little package if you need to fast pop-iup and dissmiss a term/eshell/ansi-term/ielm

Do you have a solution for a quake-style console in EXWM?
There seems to be [equake](https://gitlab.com/emacsomancer/equake) which opens a whole frame for the console. And [emacs-term-toggle](https://github.com/amno1/emacs-term-toggle), but this doesn't support vterm.

What is the emacs way to simulate the tmux behavior and is there a kind of fuzzy finder for M-x commands?
I have used for many years something called term-toggle.el, and I have recently rebuilt it to better suit my (minimalistic) need: https://github.com/amno1/emacs-term-toggle. Better shell seems to do a similar thing, not really the same though. I have sudo-open-file since before, which is enough for my needs when I need to edit some config script on my system.

Better Shell is here: https://github.com/killdash9/better-shell . I've been happy with it for years. I have only needed term once in my career, when I was using some fancy shell programs that regular shell choked on. I don't know ansi-term. Now I just use vterm when I need to do some work on a remote server and want to bypass the system-freezing characteristics of Tramp. That is a toss-up, though, since Tramp is really marvelous except for the hanging when things have gone to sleep.
