Henrik Lissner ad6a3d0f33 refactor: deprecate featurep! for modulep!
featurep! will be renamed modulep! in the future, so it's been
deprecated. They have identical interfaces, and can be replaced without
issue.

featurep! was never quite the right name for this macro. It implied that
it had some connection to featurep, which it doesn't (only that it was
similar in purpose; still, Doom modules are not features). To undo such
implications and be consistent with its namespace (and since we're
heading into a storm of breaking changes with the v3 release anyway),
now was the best opportunity to begin the transition.

:term eshell

Description   unfold

This module provides additional features for the built-in Emacs Shell

The Emacs Shell or eshell is a shell-like command interpreter implemented in Emacs Lisp. It is an alternative to traditional shells such as bash, zsh, fish, etc. that is built into Emacs and entirely cross-platform.

Module flags

This module has no flags.

Hacks

  • Even with fish-completion-fallback-on-bash-p non-nil, fish must be installed for bash completion to work. This has been circumvented.
  • eshell-did-you-mean does not work on first invocation, so we manually invoke it once.

TODO Changelog

This module does not have a changelog yet.

Installation

Enable this module in your doom! block.

This module requires either Fish shell or Bash for code completion.

TODO Usage

🔨 This module's usage documentation is incomplete. Complete it?

  • Command completion with Company
  • fish-style prompt with Git integration
  • z-like directory jumping
  • Command-not-found recommendations

TODO Configuration

🔨 This module's configuration documentation is incomplete. Complete it?

TERM name

By default, eshell sets the $TERM variable to "xterm-256color", which helps with rendering various colours. As eshell is not a terminal emulator, these will not always work 100%. Modifying eshell-term-name to your liking may help.
