* Description
|
|
This layer configures the various shells available in Emacs.
|
|
|
|
* Install
|
|
** Layer
|
|
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
|
|
add =shell= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
** Default shell
|
|
Emacs supports three types of shell:
|
|
- the Emacs shell
|
|
- the inferior shell
|
|
- the terminal emulator
|
|
- the ANSI terminal emulator
|
|
|
|
You can find a quick introductions to them [[https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/running-shells-in-emacs-overview][here]].
|
|
|
|
To define the default shell you can set the layer variable =shell-default-shell=
|
|
to the following variables:
|
|
- =eshell=
|
|
- =shell=
|
|
- =term=
|
|
- =ansi-term=
|
|
- =multi-term=
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
|
|
'(shell :variables shell-default-shell 'eshell))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
The default shell is quickly accessible via a the default shortcut key ~SPC '~.
|
|
|
|
** Default shell position and height
|
|
It is possible to choose where the shell should pop up by setting the variable
|
|
=shell-default-position= to either =top=, =bottom= or =full=. It is not possible
|
|
to show it on the side for now. Default value is =bottom=. It is also possible
|
|
to set the default height in percents with the variable =shell-default-height=.
|
|
Default value is =30=.
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
|
|
'(shell :variables
|
|
shell-default-position 'bottom
|
|
shell-default-height 30))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
** Set shell for term and ansi-term
|
|
The default shell can be set by setting the variable =shell-default-term-shell=.
|
|
Default value is =/bin/bash=.
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
|
|
'(shell :variables shell-default-term-shell "/bin/bash"))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
** Enable em-smart in Eshell
|
|
From the =em-smart= documentation:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
|
|
The best way to get a sense of what this code is trying to do is by
|
|
using it. Basically, the philosophy represents a blend between the
|
|
ease of use of modern day shells, and the review-before-you-proceed
|
|
mentality of Plan 9's 9term.
|
|
#+END_QUOTE
|
|
|
|
In a nutshell, when =em-smart= is enabled point won't jump at the end of the
|
|
buffer when a command is executed, it will stay at the same command prompt used
|
|
to execute the command. This allows to quickly edit the last command in the case
|
|
of a mistake. If there is no mistake and you directly type a new command then
|
|
the prompt will jump to the next prompt at the end of the buffer.
|
|
|
|
To enable =em-smart= put the following layer variable to non-nil:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
|
|
'(shell :variables shell-enable-smart-eshell t))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
** Protect your Eshell prompt
|
|
Comint mode (Shell mode) has good support for Evil mode as it inhibits movement
|
|
commands over the prompt. This has the added benefit that Evil mode functions
|
|
work sensibly. E.g. you can press ~cc~ in normal state i.e.
|
|
=evil-change-whole-line= to kill the current input and start typing a new
|
|
command. In Eshell you also kill the prompt, which is often unintended.
|
|
|
|
By default this layer also protects the =ehsell= prompt. If you want to
|
|
disable this protection you can set the variable =shell-protect-eshell-prompt=
|
|
to nil.
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
|
|
'(shell :variables shell-protect-eshell-prompt nil))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
* Eshell
|
|
Some advanced configuration is setup for =eshell= in this layer:
|
|
- some elisp functions aliases for quick access
|
|
- =s= for =magit-status= in the current directory (when the =git= layer is
|
|
installed)
|
|
- =d= for =dired=
|
|
- =e= to find a file via a new buffer
|
|
- =z= for quickly jumping to a previously visited directory
|
|
- optional configuration for =em-smart= (see =Install= section for more info)
|
|
- support for visual commands via =em-term=
|
|
- working directory sensitive prompt via [[https://github.com/hiddenlotus/eshell-prompt-extras][eshell-prompt-extras]]
|
|
- advanced help support via =esh-help= (enable =el-doc= support in eshell)
|
|
- add support for auto-completion via =company= (when the =auto-completion=
|
|
layer is installed)
|
|
- pressing ~i~ in normal state will automatically jump to the prompt
|
