neoterm

Use the same terminal for everything. The main reason for this plugin is to reuse the terminal easily. All commands open a terminal if one does not already exist. REPL commands open a terminal and the proper REPL if not already opened.

• Neovim/Vim terminal helper functions/commands.
• Wraps REPLs to receive current file, line or selection.
• Multiple terminal support:

Installation

Vundle/Plug.vim/minpac/any other

You can install this plugin using any vim plugin manager by using the path on GitHub for this repository:

[Plugin|Plug|...] 'kassio/neoterm'

See the your plugin manager documentation for more information.

Manual

For installation without a package manager, you can clone this Git repository into a bundle directory as with pathogen, and add the repository to your runtime path yourself. First clone the repository:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/kassio/neoterm.git

Then, modify your ~/.vimrc file to add this plugin to your runtime path:

set nocompatible
filetype off

let &runtimepath.=',~/.vim/bundle/neoterm'

filetype plugin on

You can add the following line to generate documentation tags automatically, if you don't have something similar already, so you can use the :help command to consult neoterm's online documentation:

silent! helptags ALL

Windows

For Windows users, replace usage of the Unix ~/.vim directory with %USERPROFILE%\_vim, or another directory if you have configured Vim differently. On Windows, your ~/.vimrc file will be similarly stored in %USERPROFILE%\_vimrc.

REPL

• TREPLSendFile: sends the current file to a REPL in a terminal.
• TREPLSendLine: sends the current line to a REPL in a terminal.
• TREPLSendSelection: sends the selection to a REPL in a terminal.
• <Plug>(neoterm-repl-send): sends with text-objects or motions, or sends the selection to a REPL in a terminal.
• <Plug>(neoterm-repl-send-line): sends the current line to a REPL in a terminal.

Supported REPLs

• Ruby: pry and irb
• Rails: bundle exec rails console
• Python: ipython and python
• JavaScript: node
• Elixir: iex
• Julia: julia
• R / R Markdown: R
• Haskell: ghci
• Idris: idris
• GNU Octave: octave
  • For Octave 4.0.0 and later, you can enable Qt widgets (dialogs, plots, etc.) using g:neoterm_repl_octave_qt = 1

• PARI/GP: gp
• PHP: psysh and php
• Racket: racket
• LFE: lfe

Troubleshooting

Most standard file extensions for the above REPLs are picked up by Neovim/Vim's default filetype plugins. However, there are two exceptions:

• Julia .jl files, which are detected as filetipe=lisp
• Idris .idr, .lidr files which are not recognised as any filetype
• LFE .lfe files, which are not recognized as any filetype

To fix this, either install a suitable plugin for the language or add something like the following to your init.vim:

au VimEnter,BufRead,BufNewFile *.jl set filetype=julia
au VimEnter,BufRead,BufNewFile *.idr set filetype=idris
au VimEnter,BufRead,BufNewFile *.lidr set filetype=lidris
au VimEnter,BufRead,BufNewFile *.lfe, set filetype=lfe

Other useful commands

• :T {command}: Opens a terminal, or use an opened terminal, and runs the given command within a terminal.
• :Tmap {command}: maps a the given command to ,tt.

Dynamic commands

• :3T {command}: Will send the command to neoterm-3.

useful mappings:

I like to set some mappings to make me more productive.

" 3<leader>tl will clear neoterm-3.
nnoremap <leader>tl :<c-u>exec v:count.'Tclear'<cr>

Changelog

• 17/11/2018

• 12/11/2018
  • Use chansend instead of jobsend, which was deprecated.
• 12/11/2018
  • Fix E119: Not enough arguments for function: <SNR>112_repl_result_handler
• 09/11/2018
  • Yet another work with '%' expandability.
    • '%' will be expanded to the current file path, respect g:neoterm_use_relative_path;
    • '%' will be expanded to '%', not the current file path, useful in Windows.
• 20/07/2018
  • \% Will not expand the %. (Escaping the %)
• 03/03/2018
  • DEPRECATE g:neoterm_split_on_tnew - :Tnew now accepts vim mods (:help mods).
  • Introduce g:neoterm_tnew_mod to set a default :Tnew mod (:help mods).
  • Revamp :Topen. Now :[mods][N]Topen accepts vim mods (:h mods) and a target, so if one wants to open the neoterm with id 2 in vertical, one can do :vert 2Topen.
  • Revamp :Tclose. Now :[N]Tclose[!] accepts a target, so one can close any neoterm by its id.
  • Fix a bug with :[N]Ttoggle and also make it accepts the neoterm id.
• 04/03/2018
  • Revamp :[N]Ttoggle, now it accepts vim mods (:help mods) when the toggle is opening the neoterm.
  • Revamp :[N]T, now it accepts the target, so one can send the command for any neoterm by id, like, to send commands to the neoterm 3, one can do :3T ls.
  • DEPRECATE T[N], Topen[N], Tclose[N], Tclear[N], Tkill[N] - The neoterm id was moved to the beginning of the command, so instead of :T2, for example, one must use :2T.
• 07/03/2018
  • Do not call :bdelete! if buffer does not exist term#destroy was calling neoterm#close which was causing a cyclic call to :bdelete! <neoterm.buffer_id>.
• 08/03/2018
  • Add vim's terminal support! 🎉🎉🎉
• 15/03/2018
  • Fix bug where :[N]T wasn't accepting quoted arguments, like: :T echo "ls".
  • Make handlers/callbacks work in vim. Destroy instance when destroying a terminal.
• 18/03/2018
  • Deprecate g:neoterm_tnew_mod and g:neoterm_position in favor of g:neoterm_default_mod, which will be used for every new neoterm window.
  • Add the feature of the last active neoterm. When sending a command or navigating among neoterms the last one will be marked as the last active and it'll be used by default in the next commands.
