'termkey' CTRL-N same as CTRL-W N
*t_CTRL-\_CTRL-N*
The special key combination CTRL-\ CTRL-N can be used to prefix one Normal

Normal mode command can be used.

In Terminal mode the statusline and window title show "(Terminal)". If the
job ends while in Terminal mode this changes to "(Terminal-finished)".
Environment variables are used to pass information to the running job:
TERM name of the terminal, 'term'
ROWS number of rows in the terminal initially
LINES same as ROWS
COLUMNS number of columns in the terminal initially
COLORS number of colors, 't_Co' (256*256*256 in the GUI)
VIM_SERVERNAME v:servername
The |client-server| feature can be used to communicate with the Vim instance
where the job was started. This only works when v:servername is not empty.
If needed you can set it with: >
call remote_startserver('vim-server')
In the job you can then do something like: >
vim --servername $VIM_SERVERNAME --remote +123 some_file.c
This will open the file "some_file.c" and put the cursor on line 123.
