Hi Pierre,
> - Rename it to GUIX_INSIDE_EMACS? > - Document the existence of INSIDE_EMACS. The variable is set by Emacs. As an Emacs feature we should not document it in Guix, nor should we rename it to GUIX_INSIDE_EMACS. > - Leave colors on when inside Emacs. Wouldn’t this mess with font lock in Emacs modes such as M-x shell? My colour theme has no place for a garish green :) For prettier colours in Emacs we already have things like guix-build-log-mode. > - Disable the pager hint and display all research result when inside > Emacs. Isn’t it considered best practise to set PAGER=cat when using Emacs as a shell? That’s what I do to show man pages (when I’m not using M-x woman) or to have “git log” do the right thing. -- Ricardo
