Hi everyone, could anyone explain me why do we need several of terminal implementations inside Emacs? Shell, eshell, term, ansi-term... And as far as I noticed they all suck one way or another. For example, shell cannot complete commands when you ssh to remote server inside it. Eshell tragically cannot do a very simple thing - source a bash script. Really, try to run `. some_script.sh' or `source some_script.sh' inside eshell.
So, am I right and we need them all just because one solves restrictions of the others and others do the same thing for the one? Why then not just to write some standard terminal implementation, that will just works? Does it have something with cross-platform nature of Emacs? Or, maybe I'm doing something wrong and all this stuff makes sense? Thank you. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
