I use windows 11, wsl2, WezTerm.
emacs -nw directly on the shell.
its like working on a linux computer, but from windows.
I run vterm inside emacs, and claude code inside vterm. I have special commands for extracting file routes, and flow between dired and magit. Everything runs like magic.
I also have copilot-chat and copilot-mode installed. From time to time I use it to review what claude has done, or to chat a little bit.
I’m trying to use a similar workflow, but when I attempt to use Claude code in vterm, I have issues.
My use case is resuming a session and not being able to scroll back to the past history. Otherwise if I start a new session, it works fine.
It’s probably related to me being on an old version of vterm, but I’m just wondering if you ever have come across this.
I found my answer, I needed to be using page up and page down keys to “scroll” through the claude history - which is apparently required due to Claude capturing my C-v and M-v’s in its “text-box”.
Definitely try ghostel, it's really solid.
Thanks, I would, and I’ve used it on my personal machines (it works great), but I’m trying to stick to the apt package repos on my $WORK machine.
Ubuntu has a fair number of elpa packages in its repos, so I’m trying to make it work if possible. Not sure if I’m missing anything config wise within the confines of vterm
