Emacs switching out of terminal

When running terminal mode in Emacs using M-x term using C-x C-o I cannot switch to another buffer to continue working on things. I know that this is possible with M-x shell but with this command there are certain aspects of the shell that do not work (less, more, man pages, etc...). I was wondering if there is a way around this or if when using terminal mode you are confined to the buffer that the terminal is open in until you exit.

With the assumption that you are using a Linux distro:

  1. Ctrl + d to terminate the Terminal Emulator process
  2. C-c k then ENTER to kill the associated buffer

In terminal mode you have to use C-c o to switch to the other buffer. C-c is the "terminal escape character"
