An Emacs package to open an *external* terminal emulator in directories associated with the current buffer.
## Usage
Currently not on Melpa, so grab the elisp file, put it in your path and require
it. Hopefully it will be soon.
<!-- `M-x package-install terminal-here` -->
Run `terminal-here-launch` to start a terminal in the current directory.
Recommended keybindings:
```
(require 'terminal-here)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-<f5>") #'terminal-here-launch)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-<f6>") #'terminal-here-project-launch)
```
## Platforms
Terminal-here has out-of-the-box support for some platforms, but will work anywhere with some customisation.
Out-of-the-box support tested on:
* Ubuntu 16.04 (but should work identically on any Debian-based system)
* Windows 10
Should be supported out-of-the-box, but currently untested:
* Older versions of Windows
* OSX (support is based on what [atom-open-terminal-here](https://github.com/blueimp/atom-open-terminal-here/blob/master/index.coffee#L46) does)
Currently unsupported out-of-the-box:
* Non-Debian-based UNIXes, because I haven't seen a standard
If you have problems just set `terminal-here-terminal-command` to a command line (a list of
strings like `'("foo-term" "arg1" "arg2")` which launches your preferred terminal.
## Alternatives
There are lots of built in ways to run terminals *inside* emacs (`shell`,
`eshell`, `ansi-term`, ...) but these can have problems like slow output speed
or incompatibility with existing configs. I currently prefer to run external
terminal emulators, YMMV.
A couple of
[places on](http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/7650/how-to-open-a-external-terminal-from-emacs)
[the internet](http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_dired_open_file_in_ext_apps.html) have instructions for running specific terminals from Emacs, but they are not as portable as they could be.
