I'm envious of emacs and other editors that have this built-in, while the authors of vim are [opposed to doing this](http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/tips.html#shell-window). \r\n\r\nThere was an [old patch](http://www.wana.at/vimshell/) that offered this, that could potentially be a starting point. I understand that terminal emulators are huge and complicated (see the xterm source), and we would want to keep all of that cruft out of neovim's source, but [st](http://st.suckless.org) is a counterexample of a terminal with a lean and readable source.\r\n\r\nThe vim plugins that support this, written in python or vimscript (Conque, vterm, etc), are slow and clunky compared to the vim-shell patch. Wrapping a vim session with tmux or screen can also be awkward, because you now have to use tmux/screen's keybindings along with vim's, and do not get most vim editing features in a shell.
