Vterm is a fast and fully capable terminal emulator in GNU Emacs built
as a dynamic module on top of libvterm. In this talk, I will give an
overview of the package. I will discuss the installation and common
customizations. I will go into details on some of the most important
features, such as directory tracking or message passing. Finally, I
will touch upon known incompatibilities and the future directions of
the project.

# Questions
## Q5: Does/will this work with 'emacs -nw'?
Yes, it does.
## Q4: Thats a nice looking prompt, do you have it on a Git repo we could see, or something of that manner? Thanks, I use Bash right now so I didn't know it was the default on the others.
It is not the default, but it is available easily with oh-my-zsh or
similar on fish. I think the prompt is this:

## Q3: Is there a plan to avoid the initial compilation step?
Not any time soon. You will have to compile vterm the first time you
start it.
## Q2: What are differences between Eshell and vterm?
Performance. vterm is like xterm but in Emacs, Eshell is like Bash but
in Emacs.
