is the command interpreter mode for interacting with external processes. Using the base comint-mode, Emacs provides derived modes for specific process-in-a-buffer.

Such buffers share the same key bindings, shortcuts, and history manipulation facilities.

In emacs-version 28.2, I'm observing my comint managed processes getting into a state when C-l is just doing nothing when it would have previously moved the cursor to the bottom of the window and showed me the maximal amount. Normally C-l cycles…
