# Introduction
This emacs module implements a bridge to libvterm to display a terminal in an
emacs buffer.
## Warning
This is an **alpha release**, so it will crash your emacs. If it does, please
report a bug!
# Installation
Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm.git
```
Before installing emacs-libvterm, you need to make sure you have
installed
1. Emacs with [module
support](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Dynamic-Modules.html).
You can check that, by verifying that `module-file-suffix` is not `nil`.
2. cmake (>=3.11)
3. libtool-bin (related issues: [#66](https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm/issues/66) [#85](https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm/issues/85#issuecomment-491845136))
Run the build:
```
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
make
```
And add this to your `init.el`:
``` elisp
(add-to-list 'load-path "path/to/emacs-libvterm")
(require 'vterm)
```
# Debugging and testing
If you have successfully built the module, you can test it by executing the
following command in the `build` directory:
```
make run
```
# Usage
## `vterm`
Open a terminal in the current window.
## `vterm-other-window`
Open a terminal in another window.
## `vterm-copy-mode`
When you enable `vterm-copy-mode`, the terminal buffer behaves like a normal
`read-only` text buffer: you can search, copy text, etc. The default keybinding
is `C-c C-t`.
# Customization
## `vterm-shell`
Shell to run in a new vterm. It defaults to `$SHELL`.
## Keybindings
If you want a key to be sent to the terminal, bind it to `vterm--self-insert`,
or remove it from `vterm-mode-map`. By default, `vterm.el` binds most of the
`C-<char>` and `M-<char>` keys, `<f1>` through `<f12>` and some special keys
like `<backspace>` and `<return>`. Sending a keyboard interrupt is bound to `C-c
C-c`.
## Colors
Set the `:foreground` and `:background` attributes of the following faces to a
color you like:
- vterm-color-default
- vterm-color-black
- vterm-color-black
- vterm-color-red
- vterm-color-green
- vterm-color-yellow
- vterm-color-blue
- vterm-color-magenta
- vterm-color-cyan
- vterm-color-white
## Directory tracking
For `zsh` put this in your `.zshrc`:
```zsh
function chpwd() {
print -Pn "\e]51;$(pwd)\e\\";
}
```
For bash there's no real change directory hook, so you have to rewrite the cd
command (please als have a look the answers [here](https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/170279)):
```bash
cd() {
builtin cd "$@" || return
[ "$OLDPWD" = "$PWD" ] || echo -e "\e]51;$(pwd)\e\\"
}
```
## Remote directory tracking
Put this in your *remote* .zshrc:
```zsh
function chpwd() {
print -Pn "\e]51;$(whoami)@$(hostname):$(pwd)\e\\"
}
```
