🤣 Fun with KI.

For my Emacs package

codeberg.org/harald/terminal-f

I want a logo. How? KI! I don't have accounts, so free demos. I used:

Show me the two texts *shell* and without the quotes '% _' over the logo of emacs with a glow from behind like a sunrise

The results where not even close to anything usable with:🤦‍♀️

An update of my terminal-frame Emacs package.

- Avoid other buffers being shown in the terminal frame as far as possible for emacsclient, find-file and other-buffer
- Amend the frame title such that we can see how many shells are open in the frame.

An update of my terminal-frame Emacs package arrived on codeberg, the dedicated terminal frame for Emacs' M-x shell.

Since most action in a terminal window happens at the botton, I moved the minibuffer, rarely used in a dedicated terminal frame, to the top of that frame.

I kept digging my bottomless pit of an #Elisp package to function like a multi-shell terminal emulator of which I thought, hey, this can't be hard. Well, I am not fluent in Elisp, so it is hard. But something works now:

codeberg.org/harald/terminal-f

- Creates a fresh, clean frame without tool/menu bars and such.
- Allow to create more shells in that frame and switching between.
- Exits shell/frame on shell exit.

Feedback welcome.

This didn't end well.

Why use a terminal emulator in addition to Emacs? I do it for 40 years, but why? "Simply" configure an Emacs frame to look like a terminal emulator window to run M-x shell, no tool/menubar, no mode line, no minibuffer. Should be easy and done in a few lines. So I thought.

Eeeh, but what about managing multiple shells in that frame, and, and, and.

Out came the skeleton of the package terminal-frame.el .
