A Fisher plugin for Emacs vterm

If you use Fish shell and Emacs, you might also be interested in using vterm, a fully-featured terminal emulator based on libvterm. However, vterm requires some shell-side configuration.

This is a fisher plugin that loads the vterm configuration, if needed.

Installation

You can install this plugin using this command:

fisher install pymander/vfish

Emacs Configuration

This adds a number of commands to your vterm sessions.

• vf - Call find-file on a file.
• vd - Call dired on a directory.
• vdiff - Call ediff on two files.

In addition, if you have z installed, you can use vz to call dired on a directory matched using z's system.

In order to use these commands, however, you must configure vterm-eval-cmds in Emacs. Insert this or something similar in your startup file.

(setq vterm-eval-cmds '(("find-file" find-file)
                        ("message" message)
                        ("vterm-clear-scrollback" vterm-clear-scrollback)
                        ("dired" dired)
                        ("ediff-files" ediff-files)))

Issues

Currently, this doesn't work very well with tide, which is a bummer, since tide is the ultimate Fish prompt.
