Vim 8.1 Adds Support For Running A Terminal In The Vim Window

[hoohoo]

I enjoyed the humor in the comments on this!

Serious comment though: if I am working in a text mode interfface with no GUI, thus no xterms or cmd shells, then this could be very useful.

If only I can remember the command mode key sequences to operate it!

[hoohoo]

I am driving crazy... You open Vim in a terminal and then you open a terminal inside Vim and then you open Vim inside the terminal inside Vim and then you open a terminal inside Vim inside a terminal inside Vim inside a terminal...

Surely Vim 8.2 will have an embedded scripting engine to let you automate that process!

No one cares for neovim besides the 2 people developing and using it.

Oh, that's why their git repository only have 2000 forks!

Oh wow, really shows how good neovim was for the main project. They rejected this feature for so long that I thought the old guard would've rather died than let it fly.

That's no text editor, it's a IDE.

That's no IDE, That's an OS Replacement!

Also, when will this feature catch up with Emacs stop?!

*That's* the comment I was waiting for.
