I recently felt the need to work with Spacemacs for my erlang/elixir projects. (was coding Erlang on eclipse).

Now i'm feeling a bit more comfortable with Spacemacs, i have a question regarding how to deal with processes.

I made a mistake on my code and had an infinite loop. I killed it on console but i was wondering how to do the same thing within spacemacs. I've found that SPC a p gave me the possibility to list all the running processes.

Can please someone explain me (i'm a complete beginner on spacemacs/emacs) if it is possible to kill a running process within this menu ?

Regards

Pierre

    Do you mean kill buffer? You can try with space b d and y to confirm or run command :bd to kill current buffer. Commented Jul 6, 2016 at 16:22
  • To begin with, we have M-x list-processes, that you may have invoked with your spacemacs keys… Commented Jul 6, 2016 at 23:57
  • Thanks for replying ! I do have the processes list, please find the screenshot below : i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt214/pierrelaurent62/… As you may see, processes are on the right (you were rigth Ehvince), is there a proper way to kill the first one for example ? I can't find any key combination inside spacemacs. I've tried 'space b d', it close the buffer but it doesn't seems to kill the process as it is still running. ( i can still see it with a ps -ef) Commented Jul 7, 2016 at 6:42
  • I don't know and I'm looking for it for some time too ! Commented Jul 7, 2016 at 10:28
  • Looks like we find the processes of list-processes into M-x proced. Commented Jul 7, 2016 at 11:07

Any idea how to do this in evil mode? k just navigates to next process....
You can use SPC ? to get all the commands. Proced is SPC a P

In Spacemacs, SPC a p, which runs the command list-processes, opens a buffer showing only those processes started by Spacemacs.

The list process buffer is evilified, so j and k navigate the list of processes,

d in the list process buffer will immediately delete the process under the cursor (no prompt to confirm is given, so ensure its what you want to do).

q will quit the process list and close the buffer.

Note: SPC a P will list all operating system processes, not just those spawned by Spacemacs.
