Thanks for the work. I will try it out later today.
It seems list-processes no longer cleans up dead processes. How about
adding something like:
(mapc (lambda (p)
(when (memq (process-status p) '(exit signal closed))
(delete-process p)))
(process-list))
towards the end of list-processes in the patch?¹
Also, some people ask to be able to visit process buffers. Maybe we
should also bind RET to visit the process buffer under point?
