Having the freedom to chose my work environment on the computer, I move more and more tasks to Emacs recently, like running terminal windows with https://codeberg.org/harald/terminal-frame . Another pet of mine is my python build system: https://codeberg.org/harald/pythonbuilder
The latter can produce a nice SVG graph, using #graphviz, of the dependency tree of the build setup.
And should I forget which targets the build has, it is just a C-x C-f dependencies.svg away to see that graph.😀
🤣 Fun with KI.
For my Emacs package
https://codeberg.org/harald/terminal-frame
I want a logo. How? KI! I don't have accounts, so free demos. I used:
Show me the two texts *shell* and without the quotes '% _' over the logo of emacs with a glow from behind like a sunrise
The results where not even close to anything usable with:🤦♀️

The last one, i don't know. Its still running.😜
An update of my terminal-frame Emacs package.
- Avoid other buffers being shown in the terminal frame as far as possible for emacsclient, find-file and other-buffer
- Amend the frame title such that we can see how many shells are open in the frame.
An update of my terminal-frame Emacs package arrived on codeberg, the dedicated terminal frame for Emacs' M-x shell.
Since most action in a terminal window happens at the botton, I moved the minibuffer, rarely used in a dedicated terminal frame, to the top of that frame.
I kept digging my bottomless pit of an #Elisp package to function like a multi-shell terminal emulator of which I thought, hey, this can't be hard. Well, I am not fluent in Elisp, so it is hard. But something works now:
https://codeberg.org/harald/terminal-frame
- Creates a fresh, clean frame without tool/menu bars and such.
- Allow to create more shells in that frame and switching between.
- Exits shell/frame on shell exit.
Feedback welcome.
This didn't end well.
Why use a terminal emulator in addition to Emacs? I do it for 40 years, but why? "Simply" configure an Emacs frame to look like a terminal emulator window to run M-x shell, no tool/menubar, no mode line, no minibuffer. Should be easy and done in a few lines. So I thought.
Eeeh, but what about managing multiple shells in that frame, and, and, and.
Out came the skeleton of the package terminal-frame.el .
