Most of this work was created +;; before I discovered and fully adopted EXWM. Prior to this, the appeal of +;; having terminals inside of Emacs was appealing. So appealing in fact that I +;; was willing to work with inferior alternatives to non-Emacs terminals +;; (e.g. `ansi-term') instead of GUI alternatives like `alacritty` because the +;; productivity gains of having a terminal inside of Emacs might outweigh the +;; shortcomings of that particular terminal. +;; +;; All of this changed, however, after discovering EXWM, since I can embed X11 +;; GUI windows inside of Emacs. Therefore, most of this module is maintained +;; for historical purposes. +;; +;; Benefits of `ansi-term': +;; - Color scheme remains consistent between Emacs and terminal. +;; - Same applies to my fonts. +;; +;; Downsides of `ansi-term': +;; - Paging feels sluggish with programs like `cat` and `less`. +;; - KBDs don't provide 100% coverage of what I expect from a terminal since +;; they were created to cooperate with Emacs. + +;;; Code: + +(require 'window) +(require 'buffer) + +;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; +;; Library +;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; + +;; TODO: Model all open terminals within a dictionary. + +(defconst wpc-terminal/name + "wpc/terminal" + "The name of my terminal buffers.") + +(defun wpc-terminal/find-window () + "Return a reference to an existing terminal window or nil." + (->> wpc-terminal/name + wpc/add-earmuffs + window/find)) + +(defun wpc-terminal/find-buffer () + "Return a reference to an existing terminal buffer." + (->> wpc-terminal/name + wpc/add-earmuffs + buffer/find)) + +(defun wpc-terminal/find-or-create () + "Find or create a terminal window." + (let ((buffer (wpc-terminal/find-buffer))) + (if buffer + (buffer/show buffer) + (ansi-term "/usr/bin/zsh" wpc-terminal/name)))) + +;; TODO: Focus terminal after toggling it. +(defun wpc-terminal/toggle () + "Toggle a custom terminal session in Emacs." + (interactive) + (let ((window (wpc-terminal/find-window))) + (if window + (window/delete window) + (wpc-terminal/find-or-create)))) + +(provide 'wpc-terminal) +;;; wpc-terminal.el ends here -- cgit 1.4.1
