Using Eat + Eshell (alien.top)

Hey there,

Maybe I'm just missing something obvious, but I'm a little bit confused as to how eat-eshell-mode works. If I, for example, fire up Eshell with Eat installed:

(elpaca-test
  :interactive t
  :init
  (elpaca eat (eat-eshell-mode))
  (eshell))

Then I try running e.g. top, I'd expect top to open in an Eat buffer, but it's not doing that for me right now: it just opens in plain ol' dumpy Term mode.

What am I missing? Is this not what Eshell integration is supposed to do? How do you use Eshell and Eat together?

Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh… I can run things like cal or julia and it handles all the escape codes seamlessly. Wow. Totally sold now.

This exactly. For me it's neofetch

Any tips on how to deal with $TERM being eat-truecolor? It confuses some apps, e.g. julia is monocolor

This is my current config: set TERM to "xterm", and fix the otherwise impossible-to-see ANSI blue:

(use-package eat
  :custom
  (eat-term-name "xterm")
  :custom-face
  (ansi-color-bright-blue ((t (:foreground "#00afff" :background "#00afff"))))
  :config
  (evil-set-initial-state 'eat-mode 'emacs)
  (eat-eshell-mode)
  (eat-eshell-visual-command-mode))
