You might be sort of interested in the Emulate-A-Terminal (EAT) package: https://codeberg.org/akib/emacs-eat which provides a very fast terminal emulator entirely in emacs lisp.

I use eat. So far it’s been the best one. But I did have to fix a few bugs, and add kkp support to it. It’s not the fastest but it gets the job done.

What did you need to fix! And what did you need KKP for? are you running emacs in eat?

Do you have any of your fixes publicly available?

Check PR requests on its website and we will find many bug fixes. Unfortunately its owner is busy with other things and can't merge them.

My favorite part about EAT is the fact that it works in-buffer in Eshell, so I don't need a separate buffer for visual commands.
