I don't know whether this will work for you. But check this solution.
I am using NVchad too for me to open a vertical or horizontal terminal I have to use "leader(space bar) + v" or "leader(space bar) + h". To come back to the currently opened editor which will be either on top of the newly opened terminal or on the left side we need to do some more.
"ctrl + x" this combination will exit/throw out your cursor from the terminal.
"ctrl + h/k/l/j" this combination will switch your cursor to the nearby opened editor.
For your reminder the keys "h,j,k,l" are generally used for navigation in vim/nvim as an alternative for the arrow keys.
For example: I have an opened editor and use "leader + v" to open a new vertical split terminal. I run some commands. I use "ctrl + x" to escape from the terminal. Then I use "ctrl + h" since "h = left arrow" my cursor will now be on the opened editor.
