* Shell
** Add faces instead of reusing font-lock-{comment,string}
** Improve directory tracking
Ensure ~default-directory~ remains consistent with the shell's current
working directory. Some things ~shell-mode~ does not handle:
- ~autocd~ (there's ~shell-has-auto-cd~, but it does not track whether
~autocd~ is *actually* set)
- ~cd !$~
- ~ssh~
- Docker containers
Some solutions:
- Emacs 28's ~comint-osc-process-output~
- requires configuring the prompt
- does not handle SSH (yet)
- relies on OSC 7, which is [[https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/issues/20][not standard yet]]
- running this clumsy thing after every command:
#+begin_src sh
(file-truename
(format "/proc/%d/cwd"
(process-id (get-buffer-process (current-buffer)))))
#+end_src
** Use Bash completions
Emacs filename completions in =*shell*= are subtly different to
Bash's; e.g. typing ~ls TAB~ in a folder with a single file expands to
~ls that-file~.
Also, in general, =*shell*= has no clue about
- changes to =$PATH=, which affect what programs are available,
- Bash aliases,
- changes to the current working directory not triggered by an
explicit ~cd~, and not announced by OSC 7,
- etc.
See [[https://debbugs.gnu.org/26661][bug#26661]], and [[https://github.com/szermatt/emacs-bash-completion/issues/45][szermatt/emacs-bash-completion!45]].
** Handle DECSC, DECRC, CUU, ED, HVP and DECSTBM console codes
Used for APT's "Dpkg::Progress-Fancy" option, enabled by default with
the high-level apt(8) command. Silly script emulating what APT does:
#+begin_src bash
#!/bin/bash
set -eu
if ! test "${LINES:-}" -a "${COLUMNS:-}"
then
echo Please export LINES and COLUMNS.
exit 1
fi
# Adapted from apt/apt-pkg/install-progress.cc.
backup=$'\e7' # DECSC: backup cursor position.
restore=$'\e8' # DECRC: restore cursor position.
setup ()
{
echo -n ${backup}
# DECSTBM: restrict scrolling below command, and above progress
# bar. Side-effect: move the cursor to position 1:1,
# hence the backup/restore.
echo -n $'\e[0;'$((LINES-1))'r'
echo -n ${restore}
}
teardown ()
{
# ED: clear everything from current position to end of screen.
# Dixit Michael Vogt: "sledgehammer".
echo -n $'\e[J'
}
# APT surrounds this setup phase with \n and \e[1A (CUU). I don't
# know why; the comments say that this is to "avoid visual glitch when
# the screen area shrinks by one row". No further explanation is
# given in commit messages.
setup
for ((i=1;i<COLUMNS-1;i++))
do
if ! ((i%10))
then
echo "installing stuff"
fi
echo -n ${backup}
# HVP: move cursor to last line, first column.
echo -n $'\e['${LINES}';1f'
# Draw progress bar.
progress='['
for ((j=1;j<=i;j++))
do
progress+='#'
done
for ((j=i+1;j<COLUMNS-1;j++))
do
progress+='.'
done
progress+=']'
echo -n ${progress}
echo -n ${restore}
sleep 0.1
done
teardown
#+end_src
* Eshell
** ~ls --group-directories-first~ does not color folders
* Python shell
** Handle ~completion-prefix-display-length~
Setting this variable in an inputrc file causes the Python interpreter
to elide common prefixes when showing completion candidates. This
seems to confuse python-shell-completion-native-get-completions (at
best hitting TAB yields "No match", at worst it makes Emacs hang).
