Using screen to get a REPL alongside vim is pretty clunky. Conque is much easier, in my opinion: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2771

I really hope that a real shell gets implemented inside vim at some point, it's almost enough to make one switch to Emacs.



I tried Conque and didn't care for it, refreshing was slow and I favored the detached approach.

I do, however, encourage everyone to try out the different options to find what works for them, what works for me doesn't work for everyone. Conque is a really neat plugin, it's definitely worth a shot for people shopping around.


You can compile one in, but that isn't a great solution - you have to recompile vim on every computer you use it on.

The patch is here: http://www.wana.at/vimshell/


Vim-shell isn't bad, but the version on the site is outdated. You have to scour their mailing list to find a working link to a patch that works with vim 7.2.


Tiling a vim-dow beside a REPL-window in a GUI works for me


:h shell-window
