How to disable command echoing in Emacs shell?
kj
This question is surprisingly difficult to find an answer for:
How do I turn off the command echoing in *shell*? E.g., currently,
the interactions look like this:
% date
date
Mon Oct 18 19:22:46 EDT 2010
I want just this:
% date
Mon Oct 18 19:22:46 EDT 2010
TIA!

In the same spirit, how to turn on the prompt in *shell*? I am on Windows XP
with Cygwin, and I just see:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ls
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
pwd
/cygdrive/c/home/sva
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
where `ls' and `pwd' are in *bold*.
My settings are:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; for single shell commands
(setq shell-file-name "bash")
;; use `shell-file-name' as the default shell
(when (try-require 'env)
(setenv "SHELL" shell-file-name))
;; switch used to have the shell execute its command line argument
(setq shell-command-switch "-c")
;; quote process arguments to ensure correct parsing on Windows
(setq w32-quote-process-args t)
;; name of shell used to parse TeX commands
(setq TeX-shell shell-file-name)
;; shell argument indicating that next argument is the command
(setq TeX-shell-command-option shell-command-switch)
;; for the interactive (sub)shell
(setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name)
;; args passed to inferior shell by `M-x shell', if the shell is bash
(setq explicit-bash-args '("--noediting" "--login"))
;; FIXME This ensures that /etc/profile gets read (at least for Cygwin).
;; Is this good?
;; general command interpreter in a window stuff
(when (try-require 'comint)
;; regexp to recognize prompts in the inferior process
(defun set-shell-prompt-regexp ()
(setq comint-prompt-regexp "^[^#$%>\n]*[#$%>] *"))
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'set-shell-prompt-regexp)
;; don't add input matching the last on the input ring
(setq-default comint-input-ignoredups t)
;; input to interpreter causes (only) the selected window to scroll
(setq-default comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input "this")
;; output to interpreter causes (only) the selected window to scroll
(setq-default comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output "this")
;; show the maximum output when the window is scrolled
(setq-default comint-scroll-show-maximum-output t)
;; ignore short commands as well as duplicates
(setq comint-min-history-size 5)
(make-variable-buffer-local 'comint-min-history-size)
(setq-default comint-input-filter
(function
(lambda (str)
(and (not (string-match "\\`\\s *\\'" str))
(> (length str) comint-min-history-size)))))
;; functions to call after output is inserted into the buffer
(setq-default comint-output-filter-functions
;; go to the end of buffer (this can be irritating for
;; some)
'(comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom))
;; get rid of the ^M characters
(add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions 'comint-strip-ctrl-m)
;; prompt in the minibuffer for password and send without echoing
;; (for example, with `su' command)
(add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
'comint-watch-for-password-prompt)
;; use the `up' and `down' arrow keys to traverse through the previous
;; commands
(defun my/shell-mode-hook ()
"Customize my shell-mode."
(local-set-key (kbd "<up>") 'comint-previous-input)
(local-set-key (kbd "<down>") 'comint-next-input))
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'my/shell-mode-hook))
;; regexp to match prompts in the inferior shell
(setq shell-prompt-pattern (concat "^" (system-name) " [^ ]+ \\[[0-9]+\\] "))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hmm. That was totally unexpected. I thought it would have been
some Emacs setting. (No wonder I couldn't find the answer.) Many
thanks!
