Description

In my use of the aws-cli/SAWS I find I'm frequently interacting with basic shell commands. aws-shell does not allow me to do this, which seems to force me to pop in/out of aws-shell.

This is supported on SAWS:

Research direction

Start with the SAWS issue reference and screenshot to confirm the intended shell-command behavior. Locate aws-shell’s command handling, then verify that ordinary shell commands execute without leaving the shell; add relevant coverage if the project provides it.
