Ileum is a zsh plugin that catches all commands starting with a colon and runs them in the parent neovim instance. To install Ileum, clone this repository somewhere on your disk and add source /path/to/ileum.sh to your .zshrc.

Example usage:

Print the address of the parent neovim instance:

:echo '$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS'

Pipe the content of a command to a vertically split buffer:

grep mypattern /path/to/file | :vnew

Close the terminal buffer:

:q
