I’ve been using konsole (and iterm2 on my work mac) for most of my working career, but on the linux side, I’ve recently switched to Kitty, but now I’m wondering if I can finally get used to just using emacs on both.
Does anyone use emacs as their main terminal? Is there one better than ansi-term that supports modern features like libsixel?
I still can’t quite get used to the keybindings (like C-c twice for ^C) and some other weirdness.
I’m not sure I understand your question.
Eat has its own major mode which is used when you open a standalone buffer via the eat function.
When it’s embedded in Eshell it mostly just does the right thing whenever you invoke a command that uses terminal control codes (e.g. htop) – and many of those can be closed with q, yes.
I assume Eat is activated for any program listed in the eshell-visual-commands variable (but I’ll admit I don’t really understand how that works). The notable new minor modes present when I run htop in eshell are Eat--Eshell-Local and Eat--Eshell-Process-Running.
