multi-shell

Managing multiple shell buffers.

Simple and completely compatible to Emacs' built-in shell implementation. This also works with eshell.

❓ Differences from other alternatives

• mutli-term
  • Doesn't work in Windows.

🔧 Usage

multi-shell provides the following interactive functions

• multi-shell - Create a new shell buffer.
• multi-shell-select - Switch to shell buffer.
• multi-shell-next - Switch to next shell buffer.
• multi-shell-prev - Switch to previous shell buffer.
• multi-shell-kill - Kill the current shell buffer.
• multi-shell-kill-all - Kill all shell buffers.

🧪 Customization

Add these two lines in your configuration file if you do use any package management tool. (Like, use-package)

(require 'multi-shell)
(setq multi-shell-prefer-shell-type 'shell)  ; Also accept `eshell`.

If you are using use-package for package management.

(use-package multi-shell
  :init
  (setq multi-shell-prefer-shell-type 'shell))  ; Also accept `eshell`.
