Hi, sorry for the confusion -
auto-cd feature in zsh is optional. It is not on by default, and I don't
know of a good way to detect whether a zsh process tied to a shell
buffer has that option turned on.
I think having this as a switch that individual users can set is
probably the simplest way to handle this. AFAIK other common shells
(bash, csh) doesn't yet have this feature either. In other words, it's
the user's choice to use zsh, and the user's choice whether to turn that
feature on.
I do cd's all the time (prolly same for most folks), and I hate
repeatedly typing a command to do it, so it's a neat feature in zsh that
would be nice to support within emacs shell mode.
Thanks for reading.
I hope I made it clear.
Thank you!
-Jason
