Shell-mode gives access to a shell in a normal emacs buffer, meaning you can move around and edit it as usual. A drawback is that you can not launch programs like htop or other ncurses ones, like you would in term-mode.
Usage
M-x shell
Look at the menu: you have several keys to interact with the shell. Some of them are:
- [M-p] previous input of command line
- [C-c r] go to beginning of output (useful when you have a large output and want to read through the beginning)
- [C-c-p] go to beginning of previous output group
- [C-c-c] send the C-c command to the shell
- [C-c-o] delete the output of last command
To launch a shell in the current buffer, have a look to shell-here: https://github.com/ieure/shell-here (available through ELPA).
Customisation
More colors
If you have bad colors in the output, try using ansi-mode:
(require 'ansi-color)
(defun colorize-compilation-buffer ()
(toggle-read-only)
(ansi-color-apply-on-region (point-min) (point-max))
(toggle-read-only))
(add-hook 'compilation-filter-hook 'colorize-compilation-buffer)
You can highlight some text based on regexp (useful to see "OK" or warnings):
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda () (highlight-regexp "\\[OK\\]" "hi-green-b")))
Make URLs clikable
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda () (goto-address-mode )))
Make file paths clickable
Every line representing a path to a file will be colorized and made clickable, so that you can jump to that file and that line, like in compilation-mode (specially useful when compiling a program or running tests):
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'compilation-shell-minor-mode)
