* Description
This module provides a terminal emulator powered by libvterm.
The following commands are available to open it:
+ ~+vterm/other-window~ (=C-c o t=): Opens vterm in other window
+ ~+vterm/project/other-window~ (=C-c o p=): Opens vterm in the current project
in other window
2022-04-08 20:52:08 +02:00
+ ~+vterm/here~ (=C-c o T=): Opens vterm in the current window
+ ~+vterm/project/here~ (=C-c o P=): Opens vterm in the current project in the
current window
2022-04-08 20:52:08 +02:00
These commands will first try to find an existing suitable vterm buffer and open
it. If one does not exist, they will create a new one. If the current buffer is
such a vterm buffer, a new vterm session will be created.
** Module Flags
This module provides no flags.
** Plugins
+ [[https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm][vterm]]
* Prerequisites
+ Emacs must be built with dynamic module support, i.e. compiled with the
=--with-modules= option.
+ You need =libvterm= installed on your system.
+ You need =make=, =cmake= and a C compiler such as =gcc= so that vterm can
build =vterm-module.so=.
** Dynamic Module support
To check if your build of Emacs was built with dynamic module support, check
~bin/doom info~ for ~MODULES~ next to "System features". If it's there, you're
good to go.
You can also check for =--with-modules= in the ~system-configuration-options~
variable (=C-c h v system-configuration-options=).
** libvterm
+ Ubuntu or Debian users: ~apt-get install libvterm-dev~
** Compilation tools for vterm-module.so
When you first load vterm, it will compile =vterm-module.so= for you. For this
to succeed, you need the following:
+ =make=
+ =cmake=
+ A C compiler like =gcc=
+ An internet connection (=cmake= will download needed libraries)
