  Shell buffers provide a history of previously entered shell commands.  To
reuse shell commands from the history, use the editing commands @kbd{M-p},
@kbd{M-n}, @kbd{M-r} and @kbd{M-s}.  These work just like the minibuffer

reexecute the first command of the sequence.  Then type @kbd{C-c C-x};
that will fetch the following command---the one that follows the command
you just repeated.  Then type @key{RET} to reexecute this command.  You
can reexecute several successive commands by typing @kbd{C-c C-x
@key{RET}} over and over.

  These commands get the text of previous shell commands from a special
history list, not from the shell buffer itself.  Thus, editing the shell
buffer, or even killing large parts of it, does not affect the history
that these commands access.

  To switch between line and char mode, use these commands:

@table @kbd
@kindex C-c C-k @r{(Term mode)}
@findex term-char-mode
@item C-c C-k
Switch to line mode.  Do nothing if already in line mode.

@kindex C-c C-j @r{(Term mode)}
@findex term-line-mode
@item C-c C-j
Switch to char mode.  Do nothing if already in char mode.

  The command @kbd{C-c .}@: (@code{comint-input-previous-argument})
copies an individual argument from a previous command, like @kbd{ESC
.} in Bash.  The simplest use copies the last argument from the
previous shell command.  With a prefix argument @var{n}, it copies the
@var{n}th argument instead.  Repeating @kbd{C-c .} copies from an
earlier shell command instead, always using the same value of @var{n}
(don't give a prefix argument when you repeat the @kbd{C-c .}
command).
