ctrl-g means cancel the ctrl commands typed in, but how do you send a ctrl-g to a bash shell inside emacs? ctrl-c ctrl-c will send a ctrl-c. What about sending other keypress sequences through to a shell?
Thanks,
Wes

Have you tried that very simple and basic C-q C-g?

And when you press Return, it will be sent, just like anything else you
type.

So the shell, or whatever is running inside it, is not waiting for ^G input? There is also the function send-invisible.
Maybe it helps to understand your or your shell's needs when you would explain what you intend to do and to achieve…

I did press return and it just brought the command line back without doing anything.
I'm running erlang inside of emacs. I.e., I type in erl and it takes me in to an erlang command-line. It accepts certain ctrl command to do things.
In erlang, when you press ctrl-g it should bring up a line that says:
User switch command
-->
so I can do other commands.

Don't try to run full-screen programs in an Emacs shell buffer. Use M-x
terminal-emulator if you must run them inside Emacs.

I finally got this working. I have an erlang mode installed and I entered that and did c-c c-z to start an erlang shell and this time when I pressed ctrl-g it put a ^G on the line, but this time when I pressed enter, it did what was expected.
Thanks all for your suggestions!

Correction - it was c-q c-g, not just c-g that enter a ^G that I then could press enter and it took affect.
