Hi all,
I've been searching with no results for an integration of bash inside vi, as featured in emacs; the problem is: I have vi open with 2 views, one open with :split command, and I want to use bash through the second view, while I'm editing a file in the first; if I do :sh while editing the second view, the whole session pauses and a bash shell is opened, but I'm not able to edit the file and use the shell at the same time..
I don't want to use !<command> or external programs such as "terminator".. Is there a solution?
Thx

I'm afraid this feature isn't available in (presumably) Vim. It is on the list of possible new features. See here http://www.vim.org/sponsor/vote_results.php. At the current time of writing this is feature number two, add IDE features. If you want to vote for this feature you will need to sponsor Vim.

I've sponsored the vim project too, even if I've found in the ConqueShell plugin what I was looking for. Hope for an integration or implementation soon..

@Francesco this likely won't happen. Read `:help shell-window`. This saddens me :(

Have you tried looking for third-party Vim plugins? Conque Shell looks like it might do the job.
