When running terminal mode in Emacs using M-x term
using C-x C-o
I cannot switch to another buffer to continue working on things. I know that this is possible with M-x shell
but with this command there are certain aspects of the shell that do not work (less, more, man pages, etc...). I was wondering if there is a way around this or if when using terminal mode you are confined to the buffer that the terminal is open in until you exit.
To quit without saving, just do quit and emacs will ask if you want to save. If the keys you press seem to do weird things, then, press Ctrl + g . This will cancel the sequence of keys you may have pressed by mistake. Congratulations!
If you are working with a command line interface with no option to start GUI application, start Emacs directly in the terminal with emacs .
At your shell prompt, type emacs and hit enter. Emacs should start up. If not, it is either not installed or not in your path. Once you've seen Emacs, you need to know how to exit.
In terminal mode you have to use C-c o
to switch to the other buffer. C-c
is the "terminal escape character"
