How use keybindings in term mode?

How use keybindings in term mode?

[seberino]

"term" (term mode) is more like a real shell than "shell"

I noticed you can't do certain keybindings in term mode.  It is as if
you lose all your Emacs key binding when you use term mode.

Is there some way to find a happy medium between term and shell?
In other words, more power than shell w/o losing so many keybindings
like in term mode?

there is a thing called Asking Too Much. Lol.

there's “shell”, and there's “term”. (and there's “eshell” and
“terminal-emulator”)

each one is created to be optimal for some purposes.

Sure, you can add your personal customization on top of any to give
your “happy middle”. Though, unless you have a specific customization
question... there's no such as happy middle in the already 4 variants.

my personal q is what's the diff between term and terminal-emulator...
never spend time on it. I'm very happy with just “shell”. For any term
need, i switch to a “real” term emulator.

In term mode the normal prefix key for Emacs commands is C-c. It works
pretty much like C-x prefix key elsewhere in Emacs. I prefer using C-x
in term mode too so I do this in my ~/.emacs file:

    (add-hook 'term-mode-hook
              '(lambda ()
                 (term-set-escape-char ?\C-x)))

you can switch between term modes. using C-c c-j will put you in line mode
where term is behaves like a buffer , then u can use C-c c-k to switch back
to char mode. also if you have global set  keys in your .emacs they will
work.

I'd to rebind those to function keys.  Is this possible?

cs

Rather than rebinding C-c, is it possible to rebind C-c C-j and C-c C-
k ??

e.g. have function keys do the same thing

yes it is possible you have bind "term-line-mode" and "term-char-mode"
functions.

Thank you.  I really appreciate it.  I'm confused how you can invoke
term-line-mode with say F4 key
from within char mode since in char mode it doesn't recognize Emacs
key bindings!??!
