Emacs shortcuts in term mode
I've a question about using Emacs as editor and terminal.
I split my window into different windows with C-x 3for example. One of the generated Window is used as terminal with M-x term. Usually I switch with C-x ointo another window. Suppose I switched to the terminal buffer, from there I cannot use C-x o to switch to another buffer.
What short cut can I use to switch from the terminal buffer into another?

C-c CHAR
This is equivalent toC-x CHARin normal Emacs. For example,
C-c oinvokes the global binding ofC-x o, which is normally
other-window.

Perhabs my question was not clear. In every window, I can switch to antoher using the short cutC-x o. In the terminal window, nothing happens. I have to use the mouse to switch to another window. This just does not work in the terminal window! So, my question, is there another short cut to switch from a terminal window in Emacs to another?

If I useC-c CHAR, in my case,C-c onothing happens in Emacs.

Are you using normalterm-mode?C-c oworks for me, afterM-x term RET RET(which prompts for/bin/bashin my case but that should not affect things). Also, what version of Emacs? (Mine is 23.4.1)
– geekosaur
Apr 27 '12 at 10:35
Im using 23.4.1, too. Yes, I did exactly the sameM-x term RET RET. Strange, .... I just note that I can't kill the window running terminal withC-x k. It seems that in such a terminal window I'm not able to use short cuts.
– math
Apr 27 '12 at 11:20
The standardemacscommands are not available in terminal windows, because you often need to be able to send keys directly to what's running in the window; that's whyC-cis normally rebound. I don't know why that isn't working for you.

C-c C-j switches to line mode, when you need to do Emacs-y things to the buffer (Term: line run) appears in status line
C-c C-k switches back to char mode, when you need it to act like a terminal again (Term: char run) appears in status line
