Performing terminal interaction within an editor is a must have, the choices are *Eshell*[fn:15] and *Vterm*[fn:21].
** Emacs lisp shell
Another really incredible piece of kit, shipped with Emacs. *Eshell*[fn:15] is a fully POSIX compliant shell written entirely in Emacs Lisp. While not a traditional terminal emulator, it provides me with all of the functionality I expect and require from one. The infamous lambda prompt implemented with the *Eshell Prompt Extras*[fn:16] package.

Sometimes *Eshell*[fn:15] just isn't enough. Going through [[file:../docs/notes/thinking-in-cpp.org.gpg][Thinking in C++]] for one of my courses requires lots of terminal input which *Eshell*[fn:15] just doesn't handle. Prior to this I was dropping to another *TTY* interface, but that was cumbersome. *Vterm*[fn:21] is bases on an external C library which is blazing fast.
