+# Getting detached from Emacs
+Niklas Eklund (he/him)
+
+[[!inline pages="internal(2022/info/detached-before)" raw="yes"]]
+
+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.
