recently I messed up my #zsh profile paths on #kitty and but most tasks went well on #vterm #magit
the latter is so simple , that I wonder why was I using another term for git or anything in 1st place
OS is obviously #nixos , hence the isolated envs

it's really hard to always know how one programs uses another
today my #vterm is doing better than #kitty for #zsh
#nixos

custom #zsh functions give me the git/ tmux functionality I need
can't recall but someone wrote #go helpers for this
#vterm

sh-set-shell may not be #vterm , but its good enough

ok, so #vterm doesn't actually run bash upon start. If I run /bin/bash, all my usual environment is working.

How to “source venv/bin/activate” in #Emacs in #vterm through TRAMP ssh session? It doesn’t seem to find ‘source’. It’s highly specific but it’s annoying that I can’t do that.

Solved! Thanks to this post: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/non-interactive-bash-errors-from-flake-nix-mkshell/33310

Solution: add bashInteractive as a package in the nix shell.

#emacs #vterm #nix

This is a bit niche but any #nix #emacs #vterm users out there? Lately, if I'm in a nix-shell (or nix develop), vterm completely breaks down. Control characters to navigate command line no longer work, the shell prompt has extra characters in it, history is inaccessible etc. So it's unusable. What have I done?

Did you know that you can call #Emacs functions in #vterm like you can do in Eshell?
Using vterm-eval-cmds you can either commands that don't exist in a shell or replace those that exist.
E.g. instead of man you can call the Emacs manapge mode.
You just have to print something to the terminal with the right escape sequence so vterm receives
the right control sequence to know what to call.

Look at my config for more examples:
https://github.com/Thaodan/emacs.d/blob/master/init.org#vterm

#vterm can read and execute commands. At the moment, a command is passed by providing a specific escape sequence. For example, to evaluate

(message "Hello!")
--message passing #emacs

Win11 #Emacs で #vterm が動いていない。コンパイルできない。
ムリなんかな。

#zsh+ #vterm intergration without posimacs & gitignore_global.nix - sourcehut git
#emacs #NixOnDroid #gitignore

I've just found out that the annoying flickering on my #vterm buffers on #emacs was due to hl-line-mode

Thus, issue solved!

```
;; vterm
(use-package vterm
:hook
(vterm-mode . (lambda () (setq-local global-hl-line-mode nil))))
```

More updates! I'm feeling really productive today as I have time to deal with some of my own stuff for a while before next week. So… I set up a second Time Machine backup on my server. All using #Emacs, I used #tramp to log into my server, change smb.conf to add the second backup drive, restarted smb with #vterm inside of emacs, and then set up Time Machine's second drive to back up to! Time taken: About 2 minutes tops. 😀👩🏼‍💻

@emaksovalec@emacs.ch EAT (https://codeberg.org/akib/emacs-eat) or #vterm (https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm) may be better for you. I still use #eshell for smaller things that I don't mind blocking, such as waiting for a repo sanity check with #Gentoo.

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll take a look at a few different options for using Emacs as a shell or terminal emulator: Eshell, vterm, and Eat! We'll compare them to find the overall best experience in terms of speed, terminal emulation quality, and efficiency of use.

Also my use case of #Emacs is specific: While I do some programming, it mainly is my "operating system" that I use all day long, i.e. I read my email in #Gnus, I use some #orgmode, I use #ses as spreadsheet, #eshell and #vterm are my main shells etc.

But anybody with more in-depth knowledge about #DoomEmacs vs #Spacemacs should please chime in and feel free to correct me.

@inetpro

If you using emacs, vterm, and R, you probably want to add

options(cli.hyperlink = FALSE)

to your .Rprofile.

Hyperlinks aren't (currently?) supported in libvterm, so they'll look like garbage (compare images)

Excuse all my warnings...I'll get to them. Eventually.

@schnouki if only I could run eshell in vterm, and have the awesomeness of a great terminal emulator and a great shell in one. Could something like that be written? Using eshell as the shell, but with the rendering done by libvterm? I'm not actually 100% what part of the process (lib)vterm handles.
