In term-mode, when switching from line-mode (C-c C-j) to char-mode (C-c
C-k), a newline is appended at the end, thus sending out the text that
was previously entered in line-mode to the shell right away. Most of the
time, that is not what I want. I usually want to edit further before
sending the command to the shell.
I looked at the 'term-char-mode' function and it seems to prevent the
newline by temporarily overriding 'term-input-sender' with
'term-send-string', but it doesn't seem to work as intended
somehow. This is the snippet of the code.
(unwind-protect
(progn
(add-function :override term-input-sender #'term-send-string)
(end-of-line)
(term-send-input))
(remove-function term-input-sender #'term-send-string))))
I'm not sure why this doesn't work.
And not sure whether this is new in 27.1 or pre-existing.
