Lines: 39 Keywords: Special Modes Subject: Shell Buffers (CCA EMACS) When I was at school this spring I used GNU emacs. Now I've returned to work and I'm using CCA. I'm not fortunate enough to have a workstation, so shell buffers are as close to windowing as I can get for a while anyway. GNU provides a special emacs mode for shell buffers that includes functions to send Ctrl-C's, Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-D's directly to the shell. I know that "Ctrl-Q ^C CRLF" will do roughly the same thing but the GNU shell mode also had other goodies like a jump to the top of the last command output. CCA also puts everything coming from the shell through its own "more". I find that very annoying. If it's in the buffer anyway, why "more" it too? Does anyone have a GNU style shell mode for CCA Emacs? Along the same lines but a bit more far fetched... has anyone ever written a mode that would allow emacs to interpret the escape and control sequences sent from applications that use termcap? A sort of terminal emulation mode for emacs. From my experience in writing extensions to GNU it seems this must be possible. Has it ever been done?
