terminal - back to terminal from normal ?

[M Kelly]

Hi,

When in a terminal I can do <C-\><C-n> or <C-w><C-N> to get into normal mode.
But is there a way to get back to terminal mode ? No matter what I try and search for I cannot seem to find it.

thx,
mark

Any command that would start Insert mode, e.g. 'a' or 'i'.

Would something like this work as a toggle ?

nnoremap <expr> <silent> <C-\><C-n> (&buftype == 'terminal') ? 'i' : '\<Nop>'
