emacs
Hello,
I'm using Emacs and M-x term
for a terminal. Since my typical workflow looks like this:
- edit some code
C-x C-o
to the terminal buffer (orC-x b term[Enter]
or something)- press
Up
key to use the last command - press
Enter
to run it C-x C-o
to go back
I want to bind all of these (except the first step... maybe) to one command, I believe Emacs is awesome enough to do that :-)
So, a command must:
- go to the buffer with terminal (maybe it shouldn't change any windows at all, maybe it should split the window vertially (if it weren't split already) and use the right sid)
- run a last command what've been run there
- go back to the last buffer/part of the screen
Thank you! I'm not really used to the Emacs scripting system, and I hope someone will help me and someone else will be able to use the answer to improve his workflow, since I believe this is a pretty common one
Examples of commands:
python manage.py test
python manage.py test stats
python solve.py # for project-euler puzzles :-)
the first and the second runs over a ssh (in a terminal) sometimes (I like developing with vagrant
)
I understand that it's easy to bind the first and the third ones, but the second changes too often - I'd just like to "run last command"
