I simply want to execute the whole file I am editing right now in a small shell buffer just like I can run my python script. How can I do this?

    What about Execute script... and Execute region in the Sh-script menu? – Tobias Jun 18 '19 at 13:10

    Thanks! Did not know that there is a major mode menu! Maybe I should activate the menu-bar that got deactivated in spacemacs sometimes – Tillus Jun 18 '19 at 13:21

    Yes, the menus are there to make features more discoverable! I would not recommend disabling it. – phils Jun 19 '19 at 11:08
  • what is the emacs command associated to this ? – Welgriv Jul 28 '20 at 11:02

Here you can find a function that will send current line to the shell buffer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6286579/emacs-shell-mode-how-to-send-region-to-shell/7053298#7053298

Here is an adapted version that uses comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output, so the shell buffer always scrolls to the last output: https://nistara.net/post/emacs-send-line-or-region-to-shell/

  • Hi. I havn't used Emacs in a while (spent too much time configuring). But if someone can confirm this solution I wil accept it. – Tillus Nov 27 '20 at 16:18

A possible workaround would be to select the entire buffer (C-x h) and then use the function to run a shell command on a region as explained on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1871970/emacs-execute-code-in-shell-script-mode.

If I have a split window with the shell script on top and a session in bash below, it would indeed be nice to have a command to send the content of the upper buffer to the bash session and see the output without having to change to the buffer below.
