vim-it2-touchbar

Adds (experimental) iTerm2 Mac touchbar support to vim and neovim.

This uses a feature exclusive to iTerm2. It will not work with the Apple Terminal.app.

Installation

Just install this plugin with your favorite Vim plugin manager!

eth-p/vim-it2-touchbar

Setup

Using the touch bar should be pretty simple. Just add the following to your .vimrc/init.vim:

function TouchBar()
	TouchBarLabel F1 "label here"
	" Add remappings here if necessary.
endfunction

Whenever vim is opened/closed/suspended/resumed, it will set or restore the touch bar accordingly.

It doesn't work/it's slow!

To be fair, it's experimental and a bit of a hack. Vim doesn't offer any streamlined way to write to the user's tty, and some tricks had to be utilized.
