VIM, when I shell to prompt using :!bash I'd like the command prompt to reflect me being in a shell
I am in vim all day lately, practicing code. Often times when I want to do something from the prompt - I will use a key binding for :!bash and do what ever I need to do, then type exit to return to the vim script I am working on.
sometimes I forget that I am in a shell and need to poke around to find my script. Is there a way to set it up so that my prompt says "vim $:" or something similar?
I suppose I could try to create a .bashrc_for_vim and run source .bashrc_for_vim or something like that, but that seems pretty clunky.
Has anyone here figured out an elegant way to do this?
