How can I open a Shell inside a Vim Window?
In emacs there is an amazing functionality that allows user to split the window into two ones and run shell commands on one window. Does it exist on vim?
Thanks
There are several, but Conque appears to be the most full-featured one.

What is this history window in vim called?

Sometimes in vim I accidentally invoke this command line prompt:
What is this called? What keys call this feature?
It's the Command History search pane. As the shortcut is q:, I often find myself there by accident too. http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_command-line_history has the full usage. :q will quit the pane, and return you to where you were.

How to go to the last edit location across all buffers in vim?
(3 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
Is there a good command that will switch to the last buffer (and place) where an edit was made? I would prefer not to have to install a plugin just for this (but if there is no other way then I would).
This is not solved by the BufSurf plugin which actually goes back through the navigation history which was the answer to a question that sounds similar.
The previous buffer can be accessed via the alternate file: <C-^> or :e #.
gi / `^ go back to the last edit location in the current buffer.
Unfortunately, there's no command that combines both (but I personally have never missed that).

Shortcut to open file in Vim

I use Nerdtree, it is convenient. But when there is too many files in directories, it is little inconvenient to locate files and open it.
Is there some efficient way to locate, open files in Vim?
This other answer of mine covers a few of the methods available to you without installing anything. Vim's built-in ** and tab-completion are your best friends:
:e **/foo*/bar<tab>
The above mentioned CtrlP is a great tool that does a lot more than file navigation. You should try it, as well as the other plugins in my answer.
Also, NERDTree is close to useless because you already have a file explorer in Vim: :help netrw.

How can you check which options vim was compiled with?

I am using the same Vim configuration on several computers. They are running different Vim builds, and i do not have root access. I therefore want to check for feature support inside vimrc, so that i can avoid running unsupported plugins.
Is there a way to check if an optional Vim feature is supported from inside a Vim script? In the case i ran into, i want to detect the relatively new float support.
:h has
:h feature-list
if has('float')

Linux vi arrow keys broken in insert mode
When I use vi in some consoles, I can use the arrows normally. But in others if I press the up arrow, it prints an "A". I then have to press escape to use the arrows normally.
I'm guessing it's something in the terminal configuration. How do I fix this?
Try using Vim instead of vi. I was forced to use vi at uni. It's crap.
