Then I discovered 1) ansi-term mode, to have a real shell inside Emacs. The default config is hardly useable, but with a bit of configuration of the keymaps, it becomes really pleasant to use. If you install shell-toggle, you can switch to a shell with one key, and come back where you were with one more key (the same). 2) find-this-file.el (http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/emacs/find-this-file.el), which allows me to open a file with a single shortcut (or one mouse click) when my cursor is on the name of the file. In the standard Emacs distribution, find-file-at-point does almost the same. So, to open a file, I usually cd to the right directory, and C-x C-f the file, or when it is the output of a command, use find-this-file. -- Matthieu
