  6. Consider vterm instead of ansi-term. It is a fully-fledged terminal emulator. https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm

  9. > Emacs does not have a proper terminal. https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm (global-set-key (kbd "H-v") 'vterm)
  10. I switched from ansi-term to vterm ( https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm ) and its performance is much better (specially when dealing with large bursts of output).

  14. For long output and ncurses, libvterm may suffice https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm . The rest of the time, eshell is very comfortable for me.

  17. By vterm do you mean this? https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm/blob/master/README.... It seems extremely experimental, and I've been trying recently to make my emacs more stable so I can choose when I want to spend time editing my…
