In nvim how can I come out of the terminal mode without closing the nvim overall?!
In Vim I just do :!python script.py, when I'm done reading the output I can hit enter to come out of the python shell.
In nvim I do now :terminal python script.py, I am directed to the python shell output, and there is no way to get back to my script. :q of course closes nvim.
This is feeling horrible in comparison how easy it was done in Vim!
To switch back to your script you can do: :b#
More information about the :b command with :help :buffer.
The # stand for the previously edited buffer.
You can list all the buffers and get their name and shortcut with the :ls command.
If your stuck into the terminal mode (which I undestood you are not) you should type: Ctrl-/Ctrl-n
To make it more easy you can introduce a terminal mapping into your .vimrc file..
e.g. to Ctrl-q:
tnoremap <C-q> <C-/><C-n>
:b#, I didn't find anything listed under :help :terminal.
:terminalreplace the buffer in the current window? That's a bit odd, to me, since Vim's:terminalsplits the window first. So C-w c or similar only closes the new window.
