I almost always use a terminal window in the GUI. The programs I am writing aren't graphical though, so they would work just as well in a terminal. The thing is, I write in emacs, and then save it, switch to a terminal window, and run the program. I could easily switch to another terminal in terminal mode, but I have heard that you can run your programs from inside emacs (I think I heard that anyways). I'd rather learn how to do that.
Anyways, I'm going to try this tonight, and see if I can avoid the distractions that my GUI presents me with.
- pivo 16y agoTo run a program from emacs, just start a shell in a buffer: M-x shell To run multiple programs in emacs, each in their own shell, just rename the shell buffer to something else and start another shell. An added benefit to doing this is that you can use emacs' incremental search to search back through the program's output for errors or other interesting output.
