I find it moderately inconvenient always running my program through gdb - I can run gdb when I need to debug something. How would I run a program with just a keypress or two (sorry I don't really know any elisp).

"C-M-!" runs a shell command in emacs, just like it says in the Emacs Manual.

There's also M-x shell (which gets you a dumb terminal) and M-x term (which gets you a full terminal emulator). I prefer shell for anything that doesn't absolutely require a full terminal emulator.

M-x eshell is far superior to M-x shell, and M-x ansi-term is far superior to M-x term.
