+in this mode, Emacs run an inferior shell, with I/O through [[buffer]] (default to *shell*). The shell buffer is a normal buffer, so you can edit and  move around as usual, plus you have special keys to interact with the shell, like {{keys|M-p}} to call the previous history command or {{keys|C-c r}} to go to the beginning of the last output (see all keys in the menu).

−	[[Category:Command line]]	+	'''Shell''' is a command-line interpreter that provides text [[user interface]] for an [[Operating System]].
		+
		+	Within Emacs you can interact with various shells and other command-line/text-mode programs running as a sub-process within an Emacs terminal emulator:
		+	* [[ ansi-term ]]
		+	* [[ shell ]]
		+	* [[ term ]]
		+	* [[ multi-term ]]
		+
		+	[[ eshell ]] is a shell (not a terminal emulator, nor a process hosted in one) written in pure [[ Emacs Lisp ]]. It is very powerful, flexible and customizable, but poorly documented at time of writing.
		+
		+	Emacs itself is fully functional either in a terminal or a windowing system. Some keystrokes available under window systems may not work in a terminal and vice versa.
		+
		+	User can use shell inside Emacs, with '''shell mode''', '''eshell''' or '''term'''.
		+
