Automatically hide terminal on exiting terminal mode

[LordMZTE]

I think it would be really handy to have the option to make a terminal close automatically once the terminal mode is exited. That way, if only one command should be ran, there'd be no need to manually toggle the terminal again, and it will simply hide once terminal mode is exited.

Can you clarify exactly what you mean? Do you mean that once the command you sent with NeotermRun finishes, automatically hide the terminal window, or do you mean when the terminal exits, i.e. typing exit in the terminal?

When neoterm is toggled, nvim will go into terminal mode (basically insert mode for terminals). If the user goes back to normal mode, the buffer will stay visible. My suggestion is that the buffer will be hidden instead.

So you're in terminal mode and you hit <C-\><C-n> and you'd like that to toggle the Neoterm window?

Exactly!

OK, I've just pushed a commit that triggers custom autocommands which you should be able to use to achieve what you want! You should just need to add something like this:

autocmd User NeotermTermLeave NeotermClose

or

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
  pattern = "NeotermTermLeave",
  callback = require('neoterm').close,
})

Let me know if that works!

Works perfectly!
