Is there a terminal mode (similar to in NeoVim) for Vim 8 yet? I know that Vim 8 has new async features, which makes it possible to make an async terminal feature in Vim (like Neovim already has), so curious if anyone is already trying to do that.

Switching between Normal and Terminal modes Any time we want to switch back into Terminal mode, we can do so by pressing the i key.
Use the command crtl + t to open the integrated terminal, as long as you are not in the file explorer! The integrated terminal is persistent. So execute the task you need to run, press ctrl + t again to hide the terminal, and come back whenever needed.
According to vim documentation, there are two ways: CTRL-W N (note it's uppercase N) CTRL-\ CTRL-n.
Vim 8.0.0693 is the first of an ongoing series of patches ("terminal emulator support") that implements this. If you're willing to compile Vim yourself and work with alpha-grade software, go right ahead. The latest source code and runtime files can be downloaded via FTP or retrieved from GitHub; see vim.org for details. As this feature is under development, you can still influence it and help the contributors by reporting bugs.
In case you just want to use a final version, you have to wait for the next Vim release (version 8.1?), or switch to Neovim.
