+# Getting detached from Emacs

+
+
+As an enthusiastic Emacs user I would find myself replacing the usage
+of an external terminal emulator with the Emacs alternative
+interfaces. This included using packages such as dired for file
+management, magit for git and proced for processes. However I always
+kept a terminal around for running shell commands. These were
+commands that I knew would either, take a long time to run, produce a
+lot of rapid text output or that I would run on a remote machine. In
+the remote case I would rely on tmux to be able to detach and let the
+command run even when I wasn't connected.
+
+To rid me of the need for the terminal emulator in these situations I
+developed the detached.el package. It is a package that builds on top
+of the dtach program, which provides the ability to detach and
+re-attach to processes, to offload Emacs from these processes. The
+package seamlessly integrates the ability to detach and attach into
+Emacs, and offers integration with many built in features such as
+shell, eshell, compile, org and dired.
+
+In this talk I will demonstrate the features of this alternative way
+to run detached processes and how the package can leverage built in
+Emacs functionality to provide a great experience. The user interface
+will be showcased and how the processes essentially becomes text,
+which fits very well into Emacs.

+- Source code: <https://sr.ht/~niklaseklund/>
+
+My name is Niklas Eklund. I am 35 years young and I live in Gothenburg
+(Sweden) with my wife and our dog. In my daily work, I write code in
+C++ and Python. My free time I dedicate to music, board-games, improvement,
+and of course, Emacs.
+
+More than 4 years has passed since I first started using Emacs and
+there is so much to like about it: its community, the ethics and how
+it encourage me to experiment and explore. Whether it is about writing
+a small function, or a package, the ability to mold Emacs to what
+makes sense to us as individuals is something to cherish.

+# Discussion
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+-   Q: Can it replace ssh+tmux for persistent sessions on remote hosts?
+    -   A: Not yet; being considered for future work.
+-   Q: I see integration with projectile in the readme, does it also
+    integrate with project.el?
+    -   A: Not yet but should be easy to add.
+-   Q:  Can you detach a session from shell-mode and reattach from
+    eshell/vterm/term-mode?  Or start a compile in shell-mode and attach
+    it from compilation-mode?
+    -   A: 
+-   Q: How do you talk to detached? Could it be feasible to run a child
+    emacs instead of detached? Would it make sense? Better communication
+    maybe?
+    -   A:
+-   Q: How does it handle processes that require user input? (Usually to
+    type y/n, etc). M-x compile is great but can't handle user input.
+    -   A:
+-   Q: Can you rerun a command (session?) but in another directory?
+    -   A:
+-   Q: What are some other places where this might be useful?  mu4e
+    fetching mail?  Git processes started by Magit?  What things would
+    you like to see working in a 1-2 year timeframe?
+    -   A: 
+-   Q: What are you currently excited about in emacs?
