The Future of the Vim Project

Re:The Future of the Vim Project by beej71 on Thursday August 10, 2023 @09:23AM (#37075831)

If neovim had the same keystrokes to move out of a terminal window as it does to move out of editor windows, I'd switch. But as it is, it's super clunky compared to vim.

I know about rebinding to alt, but that doesn't work in all my terminals.

So for me, it's that one lousy thing that keeps me from switching. And if someone knows the magic setting to make it mimic vim, please let me know.

I hear this and the workaround has been opening terminals in a floating window. The “toggleterm.nvim” plugin wraps a bunch of good behavior around this.

What keystrokes does vim use for this? I've never been a big user if terminals inside vim

I've never used those features, and instead rely on GNU screen (or `term`) to manage my terminal windows. Sometimes I also use horizontal / vertical splits with GNU screen, but it is a bit clunky.

For better or for worse ive ended up with a workflow heavily dependent on sending vim registers to the terminal
