When I'm in a shell and I change buffers, if I switch back to the shell buffer, the cursor has moved back a character and I can't start typing new shell commands until I hit -> first.

This happens even with: (setq evil-move-cursor-back nil)

I'm using evil. This doesn't happen when with emacs -Q or in spacemacs, so there must be something wrong with my config, but I don't know what to look for that might be causing it.

there must be something wrong with my config, but I don't know what to look for that might be causing it.

So that's your question, in fact: How do I find how my init file caused a problem?

The answer is to use the usual binary search (O(logN)): Recursively bisect your init file until you find what introduces the problem.

You can do this by commenting out 1/2 of the file, then 3/4, 7/8,... You can use command comment-region to comment-out selected text, and the same command with C-u to uncomment it.

  • It's very quick to do. But it does require that you restart Emacs a few times.

It was easier to find than I thought.

This was the culprit (hiwin-activate) from hiwin-mode

I opened this issue: https://github.com/yoshida-mediba/hiwin-mode/issues/7

UPDATE

I switched to https://github.com/mina86/auto-dim-other-buffers.el
