30 ;; This file defines a shell-in-a-buffer package (shell mode) built on
31 ;; top of comint mode. This is actually cmushell with things renamed
32 ;; to replace its counterpart in Emacs 18. cmushell is more
33 ;; featureful, robust, and uniform than the Emacs 18 version.
35 ;; Since this mode is built on top of the general command-interpreter-in-
36 ;; a-buffer mode (comint mode), it shares a common base functionality,
37 ;; and a common set of bindings, with all modes derived from comint mode.
38 ;; This makes these modes easier to use.
40 ;; For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and
41 ;; the hooks available for customising it, see the file comint.el.
42 ;; For further information on shell mode, see the comments below.
45 ;; When sending text from a source file to a subprocess, the process-mark can
46 ;; move off the window, so you can lose sight of the process interactions.
47 ;; Maybe I should ensure the process mark is in the window when I send
48 ;; text to the process? Switch selectable?

584 ;; This code provides the shell mode input sentinel
585 ;; SHELL-DIRECTORY-TRACKER
586 ;; that tracks cd, pushd, and popd commands issued to the shell, and
587 ;; changes the current directory of the shell buffer accordingly.
589 ;; This is basically a fragile hack, although it's more accurate than
590 ;; the version in Emacs 18's shell.el. It has the following failings:
591 ;; 1. It doesn't know about the cdpath shell variable.
592 ;; 2. It cannot infallibly deal with command sequences, though it does well
593 ;; with these and with ignoring commands forked in another shell with ()s.
594 ;; 3. More generally, any complex command is going to throw it. Otherwise,
595 ;; you'd have to build an entire shell interpreter in Emacs Lisp. Failing
596 ;; that, there's no way to catch shell commands where cd's are buried
597 ;; inside conditional expressions, aliases, and so forth.
599 ;; The whole approach is a crock. Shell aliases mess it up. File sourcing
600 ;; messes it up. You run other processes under the shell; these each have
601 ;; separate working directories, and some have commands for manipulating
602 ;; their w.d.'s (e.g., the lcd command in ftp). Some of these programs have
603 ;; commands that do *not* affect the current w.d. at all, but look like they
604 ;; do (e.g., the cd command in ftp). In shells that allow you job
605 ;; control, you can switch between jobs, all having different w.d.'s. So
606 ;; simply saying %3 can shift your w.d..
608 ;; The solution is to relax, not stress out about it, and settle for
609 ;; a hack that works pretty well in typical circumstances. Remember
610 ;; that a half-assed solution is more in keeping with the spirit of Unix,
613 ;; One good hack not implemented here for users of programmable shells
614 ;; is to program up the shell w.d. manipulation commands to output
615 ;; a coded command sequence to the tty. Something like
617 ;; where <cwd> is the new current working directory. Then trash the
618 ;; directory tracking machinery currently used in this package, and
