When I type :terminal to vim8.1, it splits the window and I use it split window. I want to open a new buffer and open the terminal inside it. Basically, like neovim's terminal emulator. Is there a way to do like this?

Thanks to Christian Brabandt, :ter ++curwin was the thing that I want.

I think you can use call term_open() instead. if you want to open shell in current win, it is:

call term_start($SHELL, {'curwin' : 1})

BTW, if you think this command is too long, you can create custom command:

command! Terminal call term_start($SHELL, {'curwin' : 1)
