Subject: handle shell escape characters (e.g. ESC [ 0) in emacs shell
Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 14:47:12 +0530

Hi,
It seems that when 'ls' is invoked with --color, it output
some escape sequences (e.g. ESC [ 0) that are not handled by
shell-mode."
Ref http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=5080#80 point 2

It would be good if emacs shell can handle these escape characters --
even if color is not displayed, the escape characters should be
hidden.

Regards
Praveen

The Emacs manual and FAQ suggest

   (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)

Any objection to enabling it by default?

I just enabled it by default in the repository.
