Term starts in character mode. Choose the mode according to who should receive your keys:
Most keys are sent immediately to the terminal program. Use this for full-screen or key-driven terminal applications. Press C-c C-j to enter line mode. Because normal Emacs prefixes may belong to the child program, use C-c C-h m for mode help and C-c M-x to run an Emacs command.
Normal Emacs editing commands edit the pending input. RET sends that input to the terminal program. Use C-h m and other ordinary Emacs Help keys directly. Press C-c C-k to return to character mode.
Emacsvox announces Terminal line mode or Terminal character mode
after an interactive switch. In either mode, C-t begins the Emacsvox
Term review prefix. To send a literal C-t to the child program in
character mode, press C-t C-t.
