A tour of vterm - Questions
summary
vterm is a C-backed dynamic module that provides a real terminal emulator inside Emacs rather than a shell interface, so it reproduces terminal behavior and performance that elisp-based shells do not. It requires compilation on first run of the dynamic module but not on subsequent starts. Configuration uses typical prompts and colors (examples in the uploader’s GitHub), and it behaves like a real terminal and works inside Emacs terminal windows without special hacks.
