terminal command with output in current buffer

[lisa-asket]

Many thanks, I just did not follow what asynchronously meant.



Can one assign default values when `read-from-minibuffer` in empty?

Reread the docstring of “shell-command”! There you will find:

“If COMMAND ends in ‘&’, execute it asynchronously. The output
appears in the buffer ‘*Async Shell Command*’. That buffer is in
shell mode. You can also use ‘async-shell-command’ that
automatically adds ‘&’.”
