TIL `:term`. I've been using vim/tmux (and before that, vim/screen) for nearly 30 years. I never knew about `:term` before that, thanks for posting.

PS: And when the terminal session exits, the history is still a vim buffer - that's awesome!

Even more awesome: vim-repl (https://github.com/sillybun/vim-repl) uses the :term feature to provide convenient communication with any REPL, with extra support for some languages such as Python.

(In fact there are a host of these; for example, vim-slime now can communicate with Vim’s built-in terminal.)
