Subject: Reusing dead shell buffers
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2009 21:19:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87hc454muu.wl%jemarch@gnu.org> (raw)
Hi.
Just a tiny patch for shell.
The patch assumes that the person launching M-xshell while in a
shell-mode buffer with a terminated process really wants to launch a
shell process in the current buffer instead to switch to "*shell*".
The semantics of C-uM-xshell are not changed by the patch.
