Neovim
:terminal
Neovim implements a proper terminal emulator
(libvterm) and can easily fire up a
new shell via :terminal.
In Vim you run interactive
programs like this:
:!read foo && echo $foo. In Neovim this won't work because :! uses named
pipes (libuv processes) for
communication now. Use :te read foo && echo $foo instead.
By now you might have noticed, that you can't leave the insert mode in a
terminal buffer via <esc>, since it gets captured by the terminal emulator
instead of Neovim. Use <c-\><c-n> instead.
Since terminal buffers are a new kind of buffer (&buftype is set to
"terminal"), there are also new commands for creating terminal
mappings: :tmap, :tnoremap, and :tunmap.
There are also two new autocmd events: TermOpen and
TermClose.
Here an example configuration:
if has('nvim')
nnoremap <leader>t :vsplit +terminal<cr>
tnoremap <esc> <c-\><c-n>
tnoremap <a-h> <c-\><c-n><c-w>h
tnoremap <a-j> <c-\><c-n><c-w>j
tnoremap <a-k> <c-\><c-n><c-w>k
tnoremap <a-l> <c-\><c-n><c-w>l
autocmd BufEnter term://* startinsert
endif
