How to prevent emacs M-x shell prompt from overwriting partial lines
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I'm using emacs' M-x shell prompt, and making a REST call that returns a "partial line". This can be simulated using the print command, for example
This returns a full line:
print "test"
This returns a partial line:
print -n "test"
In the zsh shell (not in emacs), this is expressed as a percent sign, like so:
However, in emacs M-x shell, the partial line appears very briefly and is overwritten by the prompt.
Is there some emacs setting I can use to stop this? Extra details: I'm using emacs on macOS. You can check out my .emacs.d here: https://github.com/dustinfreeman/dustinfreeman.emacs.d
PS. Also, currently my emacs M-x shell repeats every line entered. If I can stop that behaviour too, I'd appreciate it!
