Hi,
I was just wondering if adding shell support to vim is a feature thats
being considered. It would be great to be able to run commands from
vim instead of having to shift to terminal to do so.
I've seen vim shell but its a separate plugin:

You can !command to run things in your shell but it's not quite a
full shell within vim. I think emacs has such functionality but I'm
not sure how useful it is. In a case where you really need a shell
you could use another (x)term or perhaps use screen? If you want vim
like functionality in your shell you might want to look into the vi
keybinding features available in bash and zsh?
Just a thought,
Mike
