Hi, All,

This is to manage multiple shell (or terminal) buffers for each
project.  For example, to develop for Linux kernel, I usually use one
shell buffer to configure and build kernel, one shell buffer to run
some git command not supported by magit, one shell buffer to run qemu
for built kernel, one shell buffer to ssh into guest system to test.
Different set of commands is used by the shell in each buffer, so each
shell should have different command history configuration, and for
some shell, I may need different setup.  And I have several projects
to work on.  In addition to project specific shell buffers, I want
some global shell buffers, so that I can use them whichever project I
am working on.  Project shells is an Emacs program to let my life
easier via helping me to manage all these shell/terminal buffers.

If you think this may be helpful for someone and there is no existing
package has same functionality, could you help me to upload this into
ELPA archive?  The package is as follow.

Might magit-git-command (bound to ':') allow you to dispense with one of
your shells?

​(magit-git-command ARGS DIRECTORY)

Execute a Git subcommand asynchronously, displaying the output.
With a prefix argument run Git in the root of the current
repository, otherwise in ‘default-directory’.

   (require 'cl-lib)

This is missing ";;; Code:" prior to the ‘require’ form.

     "Specify the name of the empty project.
     "Specify the setup for shells of each project.
     "Specify keys for shells, one shell will be created for each key.
     [and so on]

These docstrings can be improved mostly by dropping the
"specify" and (perhaps) the article.  For example:

     "Name of the empty project.
     "Default configuration form for shells of each project.
     "Keys used for shells.
     [and so on]

In the second one, i ‘s/Setup/Default configuration form/’ and
suggest you describe form's format in the docstring.  In the
last one, i suggest you find a more descriptive term than
"used".  Also, i dropped the latter half of the run-on sentence.
You can add that back on the next line as a new sentence.

   (defcustom  project-shells-setup

Nit: extra space between ‘defcustom’ and ‘project-shells-setup’.

   (let ((saved-shell-buffer-list nil)
         (last-shell-name))

Both ‘saved-shell-buffer-list’ and ‘last-shell-name’ have
initial binding ‘nil’.  However, this is expressed in two
different ways (both valid).  Why?

     (cl-defun shell-buffer-list ()
       (setf saved-shell-buffer-list
             (cl-remove-if-not #'buffer-live-p saved-shell-buffer-list)))

Nit: Some blank lines between the ‘cl-defun’ forms would help
readability, especially important as these are not at top-level.

     (cl-defun project-shells-switch (&optional name to-create)
       (interactive "bShell: ")

All commands should have a docstring (even generated ones).

         (cl-ecase type
           ('term (ansi-term "/bin/sh"))
           ('shell (shell)))

Is there a reason you quote the key in the cl-ecase KEYLIST?
(Just curious.)

   (cl-defun project-shells-create-switch (name dir &optional (type 'shell) func)
     (unless (project-shells-switch name t)
       (project-shells-create name dir type func)))

Needs documentation, especially for arg ‘func’ (if, when, how it
is called; what happens if it is ill-formed or throws error, etc).

   (cl-defun project-shells-escape-sh (str) ...)

   (cl-defun project-shells-command-string (args) ...)

   (cl-defun project-shells-term-command-string () ...)

   (cl-defun project-shells-activate ...)

Each of these is called solely by the next.  Have you considered
using ‘cl-flet*’ to incorporate the first three into the last?

            (session-dir (expand-file-name (format "~/.sessions/%s/%s" proj key)))

This directory needs to be documented.  It would be nice if it
could be made customizable (e.g., to save under ~/.emacs.d/).
Also, what happens if ‘key’ is slash (or backslash, ‘M-g’, ...)?

        (format "%s/%s" session-dir project-shells-histfile-name)

More idiomatic to use ‘expand-file-name’ here.

   (cl-defun project-shells-setup (map &optional setup)
     (when setup
       (setf project-shells-setup setup))
     (cl-loop
      for key in project-shells-keys
      do (define-key map (kbd key)
           (let* ((key key))
             (lambda (p)
               (interactive "p")
               (project-shells-activate
                key (and (/= p 1) project-shells-empty-project)))))))

Have you considered using ‘this-command-keys’ and a single
command definition instead of defining a command per key?
Also, needs documentation.

One way to sidestep the need for documentation is to distinguish
between "private" and "public" elements, conventionally by using
a double-hyphen for internal (private) names.  Another way is to
incorporate single-caller funcs into that caller (as i mentioned
above).  Yet another (most poor IMHO) way is to never share your
code, but i'm very happy to see you've not chosen that way.  :-D

   ;; Version: 20170222
   ;; Package-Version: 20170222

Reminder: Don't forget to update these fields.

     "Manage shell buffers of each project"

Needs period (?., U+2E) at end.  Similarly for other instances.

   type ('shell or 'term)

This is slightly unconventional.  You explicitly name the type
of the other alist components, why not this one as well?  Maybe:

 TYPE (a symbol, either ‘shell’ or ‘term’)

Another convention is to use all uppercase for metavariables.
For example, see ‘auto-mode-alist’.  (Thus, "TYPE" above.)

   One shell will be created for each key.  Usually these key will
   be bound in a non-global keymap."

I suggest naming the function that does this action.  For
example, "Normally, ‘project-shells-setup’ arranges for these
keys to open a project-specific shell.".  Naming the function
(w/ proper quotes) creates a hyperlink in the *Help* buffer that
helps the reader form a mental model of the package operation.
The "Normally" serves two purposes:

 (a) It sidesteps the decision to choose between capitalizing
     "project-shells-setup", the first word in the sentence
     (correct from a grammar pov) and leaving it as-is (correct
     from an accuracy pov).

 (b) It invites follow-on documentation for any specific
     customization tips.

I think (a) is a nice (technical writing) hack only, but (b) is
crucial to the user experience (and maintenance burden) of this
package.

   (defcustom project-shells-term-keys '("-" "=")
     "Keys used to create terminal buffers.

   By default shell mode will be used, but for keys in
   ‘project-shells-term-keys’, ansi terminal mode will be used.  This
   should be a subset of *poject-shells-keys*."

Spelling error: "poject".  Also, don't use asterisk (?*, U+2A)
to quote API elements.  Instead, use either backtick (?`, U+60)
and apostrophe (?', U+27) or Unicode chars LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION
MARK (?‘, U+2018) and RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK (?’, U+2019).

Lastly, design questions (rhetorical): What happens if "should
be a subset" condition does not hold?  Have you considered
combining ‘project-shells-term-keys’ and ‘project-shell-keys’
somehow?  What if my project supports live-hacking via REPL?

   (let ((saved-shell-buffer-list nil)
         (last-shell-name nil))

     (cl-defun project-shells--buffer-list ...)

     (cl-defun project-shells--switch ...)

     (cl-defun project-shells-switch-to-last ...)

     (cl-defun project-shells--create ...))

Nice, much less scary for old eyes to read now.  (I added
another blank line prior to ‘project-shells--buffer-list’, btw.)

   (cl-defun project-shells-send-shell-command (cmdline)
     "Send the command line to the current (shell) buffer.  Can be
   used in shell initialized function."

Move the "Can be..." sentence to the next line.  More tips at:
(info "(elisp) Documentation Tips")

     (let* ((key (replace-regexp-in-string "/" "slash" key))
            ...
            (session-dir (expand-file-name (format "%s/%s" proj key)
                                           project-shells-session-root)))

This is is why (b) above is important.  This code special-cases
slash (?/, U+2F), but will probably give surprising results for
‘\M-g’ or ‘\C-/’ and so on.  You can either add handling for
those here, or document the range of "acceptable" ‘key’ values.
If you don't, you will receive complaints from users who try to
use project-shells.el w/ strange (but valid) keys.  I don't know
about you, but i get enough complaints as it is...  :-D
