How do people use zsh with shell mode? What's the best way to let zsh do the completions? Or do people use M-x term?

You mean in emacs, I take it. } How do people use zsh with shell mode? Force environment TERM to be "emacs". This used to be true in older versions of emacs, but ceased in (I think) 19.someteen. Anyway, zsh sets some options differently for that term type, including disabling zle. } What's the best way to let zsh do the completions? There is no way to let zsh do completions in shell-mode. Even spell correction doesn't work quite right (emacs prints `^G' instead of ringing the bell when zsh feeps, and then zsh expects to get a char that emacs won't send until you press return, at which point zsh gets both that char and the return). } Or do people use M-x term? I've never really tried it. I did just now, for a couple of minutes, and was not impressed. } Suggestions/comments? If you're in emacs, you're in emacs. Trying to get it to let some other process do anything like text editing is like trying to put back pulled teeth. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.nbn.com/people/lantern ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Actually, I rewrote term function to create buffers with (default) names like *hostname.domain*<num>, so they were easier to distinguish. Bart> If you're in emacs, you're in emacs.

That way I get zsh's completions and zle. (Set TERM to vt100 :) In fact, even programs like less work though it's somewhat silly to use them in emacs buffer. Pros: Get all output in emacs buffer automatically, and can use other emacs facilities. In character terminal, no need to use screen. Cons: At least in XEmacs-19.13/14 there was a bug in term; editing multiline commands at the bottom of the emacs window caused an error. (Hmm, couldn't reproduce it just now with XEmacs-20.0 beta. Looks like I might give it a try again...) If emacs is doing something else, using term might be a bit difficult. So run multiple emacsen? Quite heavy terminal emulators, though there's no need to have a separate emacs for each shell :) (I'll) have to rewrite my startup & wm stuff to make usual connections through emacs - and use different ports for different gnuserv processes. -- Pekka Marjola * pema@iki.fi * http://www.iki.fi/pema/ * PGPid 0x2865206D ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
