Nushell integration

[herbertjones]

I've got integration working for Nushell 0.83. However there are multiple sections for multiple editors in the README now. It might be best to move them all in a doc/ directory and just have links. I can make a PR if you think that's a good idea. Also, Nushell isn't 1.0 yet (but close), so it may just be better to leave this as an issue until then.

.config/nushell/emacs-config.nu

source ~/.config/nushell/config.nu
source ~/.config/nushell/vterm.nu

.config/nushell/vterm.nu

module vterm {
  # Escape a command for outputting by vterm send
  def escape-for-send [
    to_escape: string # The data to escape
  ] {
    $to_escape | str replace --all '\\' '\\' | str replace --all '"' '\"'
  }

  # Send a command to vterm
  export def send [
    command: string # Command to pass to vterm
    ...args: string # Arguments to pass to vterm
  ] {
    print --no-newline "\e]51;E"
    print --no-newline $"\"(escape-for-send $command)\" "
    for arg in $args {
      print --no-newline $"\"(escape-for-send $arg)\" "
    }
    print --no-newline "\e\\"
  }

  # Clear the terminal window
  export def clear [] {
    send vterm-clear-scrollback
    tput clear
  }

  # Open a file in Emacs
  export def open [
    filepath: path # File to open
  ] {
    send "find-file" $filepath
  }
}

module vprompt {
  # Complete escape sequence based on environment
  def complete-escape-by-env [
    arg: string # argument to send
  ] {
    let tmux: string = (if ($env.TMUX? | is-empty) { '' } else { $env.TMUX })
    let term: string = (if ($env.TERM? | is-empty) { '' } else { $env.TERM })
    if $tmux =~ "screen|tmux" {
      # tell tmux to pass the escape sequences through
      $"\ePtmux;\e\e]($arg)\a\e\\"
    } else if $term =~ "screen.*" {
      # GNU screen (screen, screen-256color, screen-256color-bce)
      $"\eP\e]($arg)\a\e\\"
    } else {
      $"\e]($arg)\e\\"
    }
  }

  # Output text prompt that vterm can use to track current directory
  export def left-prompt-track-cwd [] {
    $"(create_left_prompt)(complete-escape-by-env $'51;A(whoami)@(hostname):(pwd)')"
  }
}

use vterm
use vprompt
$env.PROMPT_COMMAND = {|| vprompt left-prompt-track-cwd }

Emacs config

(setf vterm-shell "nu --config ~/.config/nushell/emacs-config.nu")

I'm trying out nushell and this is very helpful, so thanks!

I do have one question: if I understand correctly, you're defining an open command to open files in Emacs, but how do I use it without conflicting with nushell's built-in open command?

[edit]
Ok, I think I found it, I need to use vterm open...

Quick tip for anyone else reading this: you can add an alias to emacs-config.nu to access this command with fewer keystrokes:

alias ff = vterm open

Thanks @herbertjones for this configuration, it works pretty well, I think that this should be added to the official README.

I It works well

But I have some weird symbols it seems this problemrevert-buffer-with-coding-system but it didn't work

[herbertjones]

@anquegi I don't have that problem. Perhaps the font you are using is missing those glyphs.

[joostkremers]

@anquegi That's definitely an encoding issue. I'm not sure what you hoped to get from the page you linked to, but revert-buffer-with-coding-system is not the answer. You'll need to make sure the encodings match up. I can't help with that, though. I use UTF-8 throughout my system just to avoid such issues...

Thanks for reading this and sorry for my too late answer. Maybe the problem in my case is thar I'm not using a valid locale for emacs xlib:

 emacs --debug-init

may be should I change to a locale with better support
