⚡ Setup

⚙️ Requirements

• neovim

💻 Installation

Add the following to your lazy/packer config

    -- Lazy
    {
        '2kabhishek/termim.nvim',
        cmd = { 'Fterm', 'FTerm', 'Sterm', 'STerm', 'Vterm', 'VTerm' },
    },

    -- Packer
    use '2kabhishek/termim.nvim'

🚀 Usage

📡 Commands

termim.nvim adds the following commands:

• Fterm: open terminal in new tab
• FTerm: same as Fterm but stays open after process exits
• Sterm: open terminal in new horizontal split
• STerm: same as Sterm but stays open after process exits
• Vterm: open terminal in new vertical split
• VTerm: same as Vterm but stays open after process exits

All the commands accept optional command as arg, if command is missing, your default shell will run

⌨️ Mappings

termim.nvim adds the following mappings:

• J J — Return to normal mode in terminals, remap for <C-\><C-n>

Recommended which-key Mappings

Other than the standard commands, you can use which-key to create your own commands.

    t = {
        name = 'Terminal',
        ['`'] = { '<cmd>Sterm<cr>', 'Horizontal Terminal' },
        e = { '<cmd>Sterm iex<cr>', 'Elixir' },
        g = { '<cmd>Fterm lazygit<cr>', 'Lazygit' },
        n = { '<cmd>Sterm node<cr>', 'Node' },
        p = { '<cmd>Sterm bpython<cr>', 'Python' },
        r = { '<cmd>Sterm irb<cr>', 'Ruby' },
        s = { '<cmd>Sterm<cr>', 'Horizontal Terminal' },
        t = { '<cmd>Fterm<cr>', 'Terminal' },
        v = { '<cmd>Vterm<cr>', 'Vertical Terminal' },
    },
