;;; vterm-mgt.el --- Help me manage my vterm instances -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
;; Version: 0.0.1
;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "25.1"))

;;; Commentary:
;; Supporting functions to instantiate vterm buffers, kill existing vterm
;; buffers, rename vterm buffers, cycle forwards and backwards through vterm
;; buffers.
;;
;; Many of the functions defined herein are intended to be bound to
;; `vterm-mode-map'.  Some assertions are made to guard against calling
;; functions that are intended to be called from outside of a vterm buffer.
;; These assertions shouldn't error when the functions are bound to
;; `vterm-mode-map'.  If for some reason, you'd like to bind these functions to
;; a separate keymap, caveat emptor.
