Feature request: Act as Eshell's visual term #521

Open tomfitzhenry opened 3 years ago

tomfitzhenry commented 3 years ago

Per https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/Input_002fOutput.html , Eshell supports opening some visual commands (e.g. top and git log) in term-mode.

It would be great if vterm could be used instead of term-mode.

Two approaches: a. Modify https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/eshell/em-term.el?id=5761e9004aa73d3aa7c34be9a064a1e768c3129c#n164 to support opening a vterm b. Add a vterm-specific entry to eshell-interpreter-alist

FYI this package I found does exactly this (approach [a]).
