+# Use The Terminal Inside A Vim Session
+
+With [the release of Vim 8.1](https://www.vim.org/vim-8.1-released.php) comes
+the ability to open a terminal window _within_ a Vim session.
+
+The `:terminal` command (or `:term` for short) opens up a buffer window that
+looks like a strange mix between any old Vim session and your terminal's shell
+prompt.
+
+Once the `:terminal` window is open, you can hit `i` to switch to
+_terminal-mode_. This puts the cursor on the shell prompt so that you can start
+executing shell commands. Once in this mode, you most of your keybindings will
+be ignored as Vim is providing terminal emulation.
+
+Once you are done with the terminal, you can type `exit` like you would in any
+other shell and it will terminate that process.
+
+Alternatively, you can hit `Ctrl-\ Ctrl-n` which takes you out of terminal-mode
+and back into Normal mode. From here, you can use all the Vim things to
+navigate, search, yank, etc. from the terminal output.
+
+You can also (if `hidden` is set), switch to another buffer. The Vim `:term`
+buffer is preserved and you can return to it later, hitting `i` to start
+interacting with it again.
+
+See `:h :term` for more details.
