Initially I started using emacs for AUCTeX, a great extension for LaTeX. Now it's become almost it's own OS as I can run Matlab (using Matlab mode), and several terminals from it (using ansi-term). If you're using ansi-term, just remember that C-c k is char mode (direct terminal entry), and C-c j is line mode, allowing you to use the power of emacs.
- disgruntledphd2 15y agoA quick question: what do you see as the advantages of ansi-term over shell (M-x shell)?
- theatraine 15y agoansi-term in line mode is basically the same as shell, however you still have the option of direct terminal entry with char mode, which is sometimes useful, ie when looking at the command history of a machine you sshed to. ansi-term can also run more programs (ie some graphical programs, man).
