Hi guys,
I'm in a weird mix situation in the way I use terminals.
I try to stay all the time inside emacs using shell-mode, which has the
great advantage of copying and pasting around easily and have all the
text transformation things in place.
However sometimes it's not all good, because:
- it's a bit hard to organize terminals in an easy and coherent way
(could make more frames but it's a bit annoying)
- running long term processes is a bit risky if I have to restart the
window manager or Emacs for some reason
- when some command has a LOT of output (sometimes unexpectedly) the
shell buffer become unresponsive for a while (this is an issue with
other repl as well), and in plus the shell becomes very slow after I
have a lot of output there (thousands of lines).
So for some things I tend to use tmux and terminator, which are cool but
are not inside Emacs sadly.
Trying to find some ways to improve the flow:
1. is there a way to avoid these unresponsive moments and/or limit the
number of lines in the shell (or other similar) buffer?
2. alternatively maybe can I integrate Emacs and tmux?
Actually as soon as I thought about this I found a few things:
http://bradylove.com/blog/2013/05/24/commanding-tmux-with-emacs/
And a couple of packages in ELPA, so I'll try that out.
It would be nice to have a bidirectional integration though, so be able
to see also what's happening in the tmux sessions from Emacs.
Any suggestions?
