in eshell, issuing vi drops you into this interesting fantasy mode. It’s quite funny to use !! within vi within emacs. Consider using it instead of #vim or #doom.
@screwtape I never thought to try that! So I checked it out, Eshell actually has a vi
aliased to the command eshell-exec-visual
, which goes through the trouble of creating a Term-mode buffer running a terminal process of whatever command you specify (e.g. “vi”) and titling it the name of the process (e.g. “*vi*
“) for you. You can do the same thing with less
, or top
, probably also fish
shell, though I haven’t tried it.
You know what would be really funny? If you modified the find-file
command to open every file in a Vi process via eshell-exec-visual
!
But ultimately, it is like running the man
command in Emacs, which runs Less in a similar way. I usually prefer my applications to be written in Emacs Lisp (like viper
or woman
), and not run a compiled C program in a separate process controlling Emacs with ANSI terminal control codes.
Instead of working on my parser I wrote a silly #vi #emacs #eshell useage #medium post.
#development #environment #lisp #programming
