What emacs lets you do is have a split screen, where one buffer is running a console and the other buffer is editing code. In vim, you can't do this. If you do :split and !bash (or :shell), the executed program will completely replace vim, rather than just running in the active buffer. Supposedly the next vim will let this sort of thing work properly though. > > Although, I just have one gvim window open all the time and one > terminal running screen. Works for me. > Yeah, I tend to do work in console mode, so one vim with splits and vsplits (1280x1024 console), and a bunch of terminals work reasonably well. Still, a properly embedded shell would be cool.
