kakoune includes this by default with the pipe operator. very useful functionality.
And vim with :term [0] https://vimhelp.org/terminal.txt.html#%3Aterminal
do you know how to make the output in the terminal cleaner?
for example `:term ls -lah /` isn't well formatted
Would love if there was a gif in the README, so I could get a feel for this (even more important because the whole selling point is interactivity).
gif, screenshot, anything to make me not install it and run it just to find out it wasn't what i wanted / needed.
Tangentially, has there been any work in having more structured scrollback, say one buffer for every command, which can be collapsed, pinned or copied individually? Presently there's the minor annoyance when (accidentally) running any program with lots of output, which is that all the scrollback above it becomes inaccessible. Yeah, could have run them in different splits or redirected to begin with, but sometimes you…

EShell in Emacs can preserve point at the prompt that executed the command. You can then hit space to page through the output, or start typing to immediately jump to the end of the buffer (and thus a blank prompt): https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/complete-guide-master... There's also `C-c C-p` to jump to the previous command prompt in the likes of M-x shell. That's not quite what you want, but it's another way…
Also eshell imenu support can be enabled https://xenodium.com/imenu-on-emacs-eshell
This is useful! Are there other packages on MELPA that provide similar functionality?

Hey Xenodium, thanks for this post. I love your site and use Plain Org regularly. I wanted to ask: what utility do you get in jumping back to the old prompts? Can you edit them in-place and re-run them or something?
Thank you. Really nice to hear it.

Mostly about jumping back to specific points in buffer. If you’ve been investigating or troubleshooting in a shell session, you can quickly jump back to previous invocations of a command to view its output.
By now, I’ve become used to imenu being available in most modes/contexts, so I figured why not eshell too.
