Re: Multiple Eshell process?

[Samer Masterson <samer@samertm.com>]

Eshell has sessions that you can use to have multiple eshells open at
the same time. You can start a new eshell session with "(eshell t)".

I have a function in my .emacs.d for starting new eshell sessions, which
I bind to "C-x M".

(defun my-new-eshell ()
  (interactive)
  (eshell t))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-x M") 'my-new-eshell)
