When I try to "write" in *shell* buffer a command and re-use one and have to 
insert some addition text I just copy&yank, then

• C-a does not put the cursor to the beginning of the command, just right of 
the prompt
• C-e does not put the cursor to the end of the command line
• C-k does not kill to the end of the command line
• and RET does not send the whole command but only the portion between the 
prompt and the cursor.

C-a, C-e, C-k stop working at boundaries of different text properties.
