** Which terminal should I use?
|
||||
Looking for a terminal in Emacs? Doom offers four modules:
|
||||
|
||||
+ =:term eshell=
|
||||
+ =:term shell=,
|
||||
+ =:term term=
|
||||
+ =:term vterm=.
|
||||
|
||||
Which do you choose?
|
||||
|
||||
+ =eshell= is the Emacs Lisp shell. It's stable, works anywhere Emacs runs (on
|
||||
any OS) and has no external dependencies, /but/ lacks features you'll expect
|
||||
from mature shells and tends to be slower than them.
|
||||
+ =shell= is a shell /for/ your shell. Think of it like a REPL for bash/zsh,
|
||||
rather than terminal emulation. For simple back-and-forth this has the
|
||||
greatest compatibility, but the simplest feature set. It won't work with
|
||||
TUI programs like htop or vim.
|
||||
+ =term= is Emacs' built-in terminal emulator. It's alright when it works, awful
|
||||
when it doesn't.
|
||||
+ =vterm= is as good as terminal emulation gets in Emacs atm, but requires that
|
||||
a) Emacs be built with dynamic modules support and b) that you compile
|
||||
vterm-module.so (this is done when you first start up vterm, but may have
|
||||
additional dependencies, like libvterm). In any case, this doesn't work on
|
||||
Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Ultimately, I recommend =eshell= or =vterm=. The former is
|
||||
|
||||
** How do I enable LSP support for <insert language here>?
|
||||
Doom supports LSP, but it is not enabled by default. To enable it, you must:
