I'd like to change the default terminal of Vim from cmd to cmder. By using :help :terminal I have read the terminal.txt but it seems that there is no setting instruction in that help file.
So is it likely to change the default terminal of vim by using :terminal?
The help for :terminal says:
If [command] is not given the 'shell' option is used.
On that help page, if you move the cursor inside the word "shell" and press C-] (the control key and the right bracket), it'll take you to the help for the shell setting. Alternatively, you can get there with :help 'shell'.
It looks like you should be able to add the following to your vimrc:
set shell=cmder
You may need to specify the full path to cmder depending on whether it's in your system path.
Also note that the shell setting is used for executing external commands from vim. I'd recommend reading the help for that setting to make sure it will work as you expect.

:help terminal tells me that the vim terminal is actually also a emulator so it's silly to run a terminal emulator in another terminal emulator. So I just change the default shell to the WSL bash following the setup from vi.stackexchange.com/questions/16386/….
