Bash fun!

Run bash, type "C-x C-v", (that is Ctrl+x, then Ctrl+v), fun huh?
I typed this with a shell as the focus, rather than the Emacs window I was expecting.
I'm sure it is documented somewhere, but I've not seen it before.

i like C-x C-e in bash, especially when the command i'm constructing becomes unwieldy. i've never seen C-x C-v before. handy!

-bash: emacs: command not found I wonder if there's a shortcut to run vim?

Set the environmental variable 'EDITOR' to use a different one:
steve@skx2:~$ export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim ^x^e -> runs vim.
