Documentation for Bash Mode

Bash Mode sends the line you type straight to the persistent shell session backing Claude Code, and is great for quick commands exploring the directory. It can be enabled by typing ! < command>.
However, it is difficult to find the existence of Bash Mode in the docs. I personally really needed the functionality but thought that it did not exist, until some internet search revealed the existence of bash mode from this webpage https://www.danielcorin.com/til/anthropic/claude-code/. I think it would be really helpful if people were introduced to bash mode from the beginning—at least I really love it :).
