Two different terminal buffers

Two different terminal buffers

[Mazen A.]

Hello,

I'm wondering how can I create two different terminal buffers in Emacs.

Thanks,

Mazen

Thanks, Jai. This will create two buffers with the same shell. What I am 
after are two windows with two different instances of shell.

[Ludwig, Mark]

After you get into the first shell, rename its buffer with M-x rename-buffer and then the next M-x shell will create another buffer named "*shell*"....

Hope this helps,

Mark

About terminology: "M-x shell" starts an interactive interface for shell
(that is, a command-line interpreter like /bin/bash). It's not a
terminal; in the subject you wrote "terminal buffers".

It is also possible to run text terminals in Emacs: "M-x term". Shell
can be run inside such terminal.

C-u M-x shell RET.

I do it this way:

  - open the first terminal
  - rename the terminal buffer to something different (C-c M-x rename-buffer)
  - open the second terminal

This does in principle also work with Info, shell, Eshell and Help.  Of
course the "C-c" prefix is needed only in terminals running in
character mode.

I don't understand the last sentence here.  Why doesn't "M-x
rename-buffer" work in character mode (provided you set the input mode
such that 8th bit is interpreted as Meta)?

From the Emacs manual, node "Term Mode":

  "In char mode, each character is sent directly to the inferior subshell,
   except for the Term escape character, normally `C-c'."
