vtm VS dtache

Any computer at all, just about any linux distro, boot into console mode, and then run something like this

https://github.com/netxs-group/vtm

vtm might be handy.

~~~ $ wget https://github.com/netxs-group/vtm/releases/latest/download/vtm_linux_amd64.tar.gz $ tar xvf vtm_linux_amd64.tar.gz $ vtm_linux_amd64/vtm ~~~

Does a 'TUI' based window manager count? (on linux) This program let me have numerous terminal windows and do a lot of other neat tricks with the terminals. I think it was VTM https://github.com/netxs-group/vtm

Could be useful for fun projects like vtm.

For absolute revelation, use vtm, a whole Desktop environment for the terminal. In addition to tiling (like tmux) it supports floating window management.

I wouldn't do it simply because there are some things for which it doesn't work best such as using tmux over it and I haven't yet bothered to read & setup dtache which would solve that problem.

Another thing is why people may want to see the whole 10Mb compilation log in realtime? Redirect it to a file, M-x grep the things you need, and you are perfectly fine. There's also https://gitlab.com/niklaseklund/dtache

GNU Screen, tmux and dtach (with convenient Emacs interface) all serve to limit that problem.

Here is a short blog post illustrating how dtache, the package for detached shell commands https://gitlab.com/niklaseklund/dtache, can be integrated with vterm.

Regarding 4), that's what got me into developing dtache https://gitlab.com/niklaseklund/dtache. Could be an alternative if you want to avoid leaving Emacs :)

There is a version 0.4 out for the **dtache** package. The short description of the package is that it provides the possibility to run commands that are detached from Emacs. To read more see the README here https://gitlab.com/niklaseklund/dtache. The major changes compared to the last release is:

The other day I merged an extension to integrate dtache with consult. The dtache is the package for detachable shell commands https://gitlab.com/niklaseklund/dtache. The functionality is opt in, and provided through the dtache-consult.el.
