Shell interaction

[myitcv]

• Is there currently anything like this for Vim?
• Use acme win command as a model
• Output point is the point after which input is considered
• Enter transfers text after output point to stdin of shell
• stdout of shell is placed after output point
• Pressing enter or printing stdout advances output point
• If the output point is deleted, recreate as last line
• Can insert text anywhere
• Per Russ cox video on acme
• Jump to last line would take you to last character if no command entered
• Could execute by reference to vim line number
• Middle click executes selection in this context
• Scroll down to show output with some space if possible
• Cannot enter insert mode around prompt - how does acme enforce this?
• Unsure what should happen if you try and O on last line (execute current line)? Or enter is command that sends to stdin

Hmm... for a couple days, I was experimenting with the idea of implementing a shell in pure vimscript. Doesn't work very well, but... https://gist.github.com/splinterofchaos/4b5134c7a9d33f29cedd

@splinterofchaos - great! I had a proof of concept working a couple of months ago in Go (!). Very basic, but it worked. I need to resurrect the Go package today however because it has fallen behind.
