M-x shell
is so useful for searching for text strings in outputs. (when grep alone will not do) like all things emacs/ terminal its a little awkward when trying to use the control keys (up arrow, ^r) and they get captured by emacs and not the shell.
- wainstead 12y agoAmen, and throw in hi-lock and you can create arbitrary keyword highlighting (like any time the word "error" appears it's colored red). Great for tailing log files.

- codygman 12y agoI've never understood claims that function keys are convenient, but I guess it's because I don't use them that much.
