I want a new terminal
One that wont make me sick
One that wont make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick
gnome-terminal sucks. The keybindings are semi-emacs-ish but not quite/frequently get confused/don’t update the display to accurately reflect whatever’s in the buffer. What should I use? xterm doesn’t support emacs keybindings at all so it’s out. Should I just be sticking with eshell (or shell) directly inside emacs?
Here’s what I want:
- standard, simple movement commands (^a, ^e, ^f, ^b, up/down arrow)
- tab completion (duh…)
- standard, simple editing (M-d, ^k)
I think I probably just got my answer and it’s to use M-x eshell or M-x shell, but I don’t always have that available and would really love something I can fallback on. I’m sure somebody must have some advice…
