my emacs vterm config

Here is the most valuable part of my emacs vTerm config with fish shell.

add source vterm.fish to your fish shell configuration file

use edit <file> in vTerm buffer will open file at the new window above vTerm buffer, similar to using code <file> in VSCode embedded terminal.

vterm.fish

function vterm_printf
    if begin
            [ -n "$TMUX" ]; and string match -q -r "screen|tmux" "$TERM"
        end
        # tell tmux to pass the escape sequences through
        printf "\ePtmux;\e\e]%s\007\e\\" "$argv"
    else if string match -q -- "screen*" "$TERM"
        # GNU screen (screen, screen-256color, screen-256color-bce)
        printf "\eP\e]%s\007\e\\" "$argv"
    else
        printf "\e]%s\e\\" "$argv"
    end
end

function vterm_cmd --description 'Run an Emacs command among the ones been defined in vterm-eval-cmds.'
    set -l vterm_elisp ()
    for arg in $argv
        set -a vterm_elisp (printf '"%s" ' (string replace -a -r '([\\\\"])' '\\\\\\\\$1' $arg))
    end
    vterm_printf '51;E'(string join '' $vterm_elisp)
end

if [ "$INSIDE_EMACS" = vterm ]
    set -gx EDITOR code

    function clear
        vterm_printf "51;Evterm-clear-scrollback"
        tput clear
    end
    # used by vterm buffer name
    function fish_title
        hostname
        echo ":"
        prompt_pwd
    end

    function vterm_prompt_end --on-variable PWD
        vterm_printf '51;A'(whoami)'@'(hostname)':'(pwd)
    end

    function edit
        set -q argv[1]; or set argv[1] "."
        vterm_cmd vterm-edit-file (realpath "$argv")
    end
end
