DVTM fails painfully in an emacs vterm #107

Open bqv opened 4 years ago

bqv commented 4 years ago

This is not necessarily a bug in dvtm, and more for my records than yours.

I have a feeling this is a terminfo-based issue, my shell is fish and I have an embellished ps1.

Text overlaps, looks poorly resized, and colours are incorrect.

Will update if/when I find a fix

Seems to work a lot nicer if you export TERM=dvtm-256color first :)

You could consider exporting DVTM_TERM=dvtm-256color in your fish config. The man says this about the env. var.:

  DVTM_TERM
      By default dvtm uses its own terminfo file and therefore sets TERM=dvtm within the client windows. This can be overridden by setting the DVTM_TERM environment variable to a valid terminal name before launching dvtm.

If, by your second comment, you mean to say that the issue is fixed/wasn't an issue, you should consider closing it :-)
