emacs22-common-22.2-alt5 It would be convenient if eshell set EDITOR=emacsclient (at least if EDITOR is initially unset, or perhaps better always). Then, in the following case, the message could be edited in an Emacs buffer, when "git commit" is called in eshell: ~/.ssh $ git commit Terminal is dumb but no VISUAL nor EDITOR defined. Please supply the message using either -m or -F option. ~/.ssh $
There is several ways to do that: 1. Set EDITOR variable in your session (or just run emacs as "EDITOR=emacsclient emacs"). 2. Use something like (add-hook 'eshell-mode-hook '(lambda () (setenv "EDITOR" "emacsclient"))) in your init-file 3. Or use M-x shell (M-x term) (and set this variable in ~/.emacs_SHELLNAME).
