Sorry for the tangent: I was very eager to try vterm until I read that people have had issues with evil-mode [1]. Any idea whether eat and evil can get along?

It works somewhat more reliable (I've found vterm to break in some interesting ways depending on your cursor position even with evil-collection), but it's pretty awkward to use with evil, at least without any configuration.

For example, pressing 0 to go to beginning of line goes to before the $PS1, rather than the input beginning, going from NORMAL → INSERT inserts text at the end instead of at the cursor, Emacs motion keys doesn't work, etc. I think if I take some time to remap the key it might work, but usually I just switch to Emacs mode or just restrict myself to use only cursor key to navigate.
