This is probably because Ctrl + W is mapped to be the prefix for switching windows. I haven't found a way to us remapping in the vim 8 terminal yet.

@mkarpoff Yes, I understand why this caused. I want to discuss people about how to send the prefix key it self into terminal. For example. tmux send prefix-key with double types of prefix-key.

Ah I see, sorry for the confusion. In that case it might be also a good idea to talk about how to remap the terminal keys as well while we're at it as I suspect the solution will involve that problem as well.

Thanks your suggestion. BTW, I don't use neovim but I heard neovim have tmap/tnoremap? to remap terminal keys.

Yes, we need something for that. Doubling CTRL-W conflicts with moving
to the next window, which is very common.

Perhap we can use CTRL-W . With the idea that dot means the current
window (like it means the current line).

Mappings are less important, let's first make most other things work.

Neovim has separate terminal mode, with separate commands for mapping
(:tmap/:tnoremap). So `<C-w>`, as well as everything else is sending
input directly to terminal as-is, with `<C-\><C-n>` and `<C-\><C-\>`
being an exceptions for consistency reasons. As expected, if you are
not satisfied with a way to exit terminal mode you just tnoremap
something to `<C-\><C-n>` and tnoremap `<C-\><C-n>` to something if
needed.

This was fixed in 8.0.0787 (Ctrl-W . sends a ^W).
