Re: Intercepting input in comint

[Elias Mårtenson]

You can do this by setting comint-input-sender to a function that can intercept the entered commands.

I'm doing exactly this in gnu-apl-mode: https://github.com/lokedhs/gnu-apl-mode/blob/a4fdcede138a4777b1fa3780574ef931d155f464/gnu-apl-interactive.el#L219

Hi everyone,

In a comint buffer, I'd like to intercept certain kinds of inputs from
the user.

For certain kinds of patterns, I'd like to side-step comint and call a
function instead (and avoid the command to be sent to the inferior process).

A logical place seems to be comint-input-filter-functions, except I
cannot prevent the command to be sent to the process there.

Do I have to override comint-input-sender?
Any other advice?
