# A tour of vterm
Gabriele Bozzola (@sbozzolo)

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.

## Q1: could you put your testing scripts up somewhere?
