Thanks Ignacio, I’ll definitely give fshell a gander!

hey Rex,
on how to speed up the opening of extra shells using fshell, I just came out with this simple lisp for my .emacs:

(defalias ‘forth
(read-kbd-macro “C-4 M-x fshell RET”))
(global-set-key [C-f4] ‘forth)

(defalias ‘fifth
(read-kbd-macro “C-5 M-x fshell RET”))
(global-set-key [C-f5] ‘fifth)

… and so on

For me it’s easier to use the direct shortcut “C-f4″ than to input the argument 4 (C-u 4) and then type M-x fshell

Just wanted to share that little tip!

I installed a package “fshell” to solve the same need of renaming a shell. It allows you to use the universal argument (ie “C-u 2″ “M-x fshell”, will create a shell(2))
It’s slightly faster in my opinion, I’m always trying to speed things up in emacs, cause I work with a ssh-tunneled emacs and the latency is a limiting factor.
