Thanks for these tips! I'll explore tabspaces, apheleia, async-shell-command (and the Go lib) — all of those are new to me. > Can you give a specific example of something you had trouble with? I hoped to recreate multiple long-running terminal sessions in splits and tabs, similar to functionality I now use from: Neovim (plugin): https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim VS Code (built-in): https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/terminal/basics#_managing-terminals https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/terminal/basics#_managing... I just found “popper”, which didn't exist the last time I looked. It seems like a pretty close substitute: https://github.com/karthink/popper https://github.com/karthink/popper

The example in that vscode link can be replicated in emacs by: 1. having a single buffer open 2. C-x 2 (split-window-below) 3. C-x o (other-buffer) 4. C-x 3 (split-window-right) 5.

  Thank you for this — keyboard macros look great, and I'll explore the book to fill in some gaps.
