shx-for-emacs VS emacs-libvterm

I use the wonderful shx package for making M-x shell a more usable shell, and I use shell-pop for popping up shell buffers that are automatically cd'd to the current files directory.

I swear by running bash in shell-mode enhanced by shx so I can properly use SSH.

Also note that Emacs is a fully GUI application, like I said, it depends on libgdk and libcairo2, and Emacs has support for inline graphics. Take a look at the shx-for-emacs extension to see an example of it (screenshot). Please take a look at Nicolas P. Rougier's GitHub page, he has some of the most beautiful Emacs GUI configurations (for example, this screenshot).

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "shx"

I have been extremely satisfied with using plain shell mode combined with shx. With shx I can open a file directly from the shell with :edit, and ssh with :ssh. I find that a plain old shell running bash when combined with emacs is just so powerful.

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.
