Currently paying the price of months of non-diligent git usage. Here's what has changed. - Theming support in Gvcci and wpgtk - Dropping support for i3 - Supporting EXWM - Many Elisp modules - Collapsed redundant directories in ./configs

;;; terminal.el --- My cobbled together terminal -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>

|
|
;;; Commentary:
|
|
;; My attempts at creating a sane Emacs terminal. Most of this work was created
|
|
;; before I discovered and fully adopted EXWM. Prior to this, the appeal of
|
|
;; having terminals inside of Emacs was appealing. So appealing in fact that I
|
|
;; was willing to work with inferior alternatives to non-Emacs terminals
|
|
;; (e.g. `ansi-term') instead of GUI alternatives like `alacritty` because the
|
|
;; productivity gains of having a terminal inside of Emacs might outweigh the
|
|
;; shortcomings of that particular terminal.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; All of this changed, however, after discovering EXWM, since I can embed X11
|
|
;; GUI windows inside of Emacs. Therefore, most of this module is maintained
|
|
;; for historical purposes.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Benefits of `ansi-term':
|
|
;; - Color scheme remains consistent between Emacs and terminal.
|
|
;; - Same applies to my fonts.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Downsides of `ansi-term':
|
|
;; - Paging feels sluggish with programs like `cat` and `less`.
|
|
;; - KBDs don't provide 100% coverage of what I expect from a terminal since
|
|
;; they were created to cooperate with Emacs.
