    Terminals are helpful?

    It’s not clear what you’re interested in here. Why use a terminal in emacs as opposed to a separate program? Why these over eshell?..

        I have this funny anecdote.

        A remote system I was working on has a malfunction: taskbar dead; windows blocked; super-key did’t activate anything. I had just a Emacs window open.

        I ran eshell and then “shutdown -r now” and the system restarted.

        Great moment with surprised colleagues :-) it was 2020
