Terminal mode for Vim 8?

Question

Is there another terminal mode (similar to NeoVim) for Vim 8? I know that Vim 8 has new async functions that allow you to make an asynchronous terminal function in Vim (like Neovim), so I’m curious if someone is already trying to do this.

Answer 1

Vim 8.0.0693 is the first of a series of serial fixes ("terminal emulator support") that implements this. If you want to compile Vim yourself and work with alpha software, go straight ahead. The latest source code and runtime files can be downloaded via FTP or retrieved from GitHub; See vim.org for more details . Since this feature is under development, you can still influence it and help contributors report bugs.

If you just want to use the final version, you need to wait for the next version of Vim (version 8.1?) Or switch to Neovim.
