The TERM variable is not set correctly for my emacs. I like to override it using elisp.

I am currently using:

(setenv "TERM" "xterm-kitty")

But this does not seem to work.

PS: I'm running emacs using junest, which seems to be doing some magic that overrides my TERM=... emacs invocation. Hence the need to override the terminfo from elisp.

  • Pls clarify the meaning of "does not seem to work", is that that using (getenv "TERM") gives you something different from xterm-kitty?

  • @Hi-Angel I fixed the problem from the junest side. But what I meant was that emacs still showed in wrong colors even though I had used (setenv "TERM" "xterm-kitty"). (I use 24 bit true colors which need the special terminfo.)

  • @Hi-Angel I am not really sure what the problem was in the first place. I solved it by adding export TERM=... to .bashrc, .bash_profile, etc. Previously, I used ssh host -t TERM=... emacs.
