Subject: eshell, subshells, and cursor control
Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 14:40:19 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <16bb89d3-3633-48fd-9045-b44733202ecd@googlegroups.com> (raw)

I love the convenience of eshell: M-x ehsell gives me a consistent environment, on any platform.

But if I start any kind of interactive program from eshell
(for the sake of example, lets say "nslookup")

then I lose the ability to use M-p/M-n to browse command line history, and Ctrl-A will not take me to the  beginning of the nslookup prompt, but rather to the left edge of the buffer.

How can I get eshell-mode to behave more like shell-mode when I start interactive command line programs?

Thanks,
-ck
