Subject: shortcut to take me from eshell to shell and preserve cwd
Date: Fri, 9 May 2014 11:25:29 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9a205eac-45b5-4c03-983d-5a4d51f5958d@googlegroups.com> (raw)

How would I write an elisp function that is active in eshell mode that does the following:
- queries current directory
- changes to the buffer named *shell*, (runs M-x shell to create it if it's no there)
- runs "cd <dir>" to drop me into the same dir that I was in in eshell

Thanks for any tips!
