How to open file in Emacs via eshell?

When in eshell is there a command for opening a file in another buffer?

Solution

  • You can call elisp functions directly. So to open a file, call find-file on the filename. Example:

    ~ $ ls
myfile
~ $ (find-file "myfile")

    Parentheses and quotes are optional, so this works too:

    ~ $ find-file myfile
