You're welcome.

Currently, Bram is working on including a terminal natively in Vim. So
you can try to compile yourself a Vim version from the source
repository, configure it with `--enable-terminal` and in that build Vim
you can then issue a :term command that runs a shell in that window.
Read :h terminal.txt for more details.

You can find precompiled binaries at the vim/vim-win32-installer
repository.

But notice, this is work in progress, not everything works there and it
might have still some rough edges. However feedback is very welcomed at
the vim-dev list.

Best,
Christian
