Emacs: shell - ansi-term

Using M-x shell under Emacs always seemed like a cool idea, but also always turned out to be a little flaky when displaying the output properly.

M-x ansi-term feels much more solid.

oh, wow. Thanks. After using emacs for 12 years, why do I still feel like a newbie sometimes?

That could be a good thing. It cold also be a bad thing.

I'm not sure, but I'm leaning towards good.

Well, -ish.

However...

So solid, in fact, that bash steals the M-x keystroke. Hmmm...

C-c C-j, and C-c C-k takes care of going between char- and line-input modes.

This is now a very useful shell.
