I'd like to point out that term-mode has also the so called "line mode"
(C-c C-j) in which user can wander around the buffer pretty much like
anywhere else in Emacs. Kill-ring commands, isearch etc. work. Then
there is "char mode" (C-c C-k), the default, which is like your normal
terminal emulator except the escape key.
