Switching from/to Neoterm split

[FuzzOli87]

When there is a neoterm controlled terminal split open, switching to it and from it causes a new buffer to open up leading to a bunch of empty buffers.

Might actually be an issue with one of my configs that put's terminals into "insert" mode.

au BufEnter * if &buftype == 'terminal' | :startinsert | endif

I wasn't able to replicate this problem. I tried to use this config you mentioned, but even though wasn't able to replicate. Can you give me more information, please?

Reproduce:

:Topen
:Tclose
:Topen

[kassio]

Using those steps I still not able to reproduce:

What's your neoterm and neovim's version?

[trinhanhngoc]

Neovim 0.1.1

[kassio]

By default neoterm keeps the terminal buffer in the background. If you want to change this behaviour you must unset the g:neoterm_keep_term_open.

[trinhanhngoc]

No. As you can see in my gif, Topen and Tclose many times cause creating many empty buffers (show as [* No Name] in ctrlp).

[kassio]

My bad, I didn't see it before. I'll investigate more.

[kassio]

Investigating a little bit better I found that this is a bug on vim, not even neovim since vim has the same bug. To reopen a neoterm buffer I use the :new +buffer<id> command, but this creates an empty buffer:

I created an issue on vim repository to fix this problem. As soon as the vim creates a patch for it, I'll open an issue on neovim to update with the patch.

With last commit, i can not reopen term buffer.

Topen
Tclose
Topen -> open current buffer instead of term buffer in split window

I'm experiencing the same bug as well. I should of looked here before spending an hour going through each and every one of my keybindings.

Sorry, my phone froze and I pressed the wrong button.

[kassio]

Sorry people, on my refactoring step I wrongly removed the buffer reference from the command. It's working now (I hope 🙏)

hi, @kassio. I find Topen&Tclose working now, but use Ttoggle will produce one empty buffer

[kassio]

@luofish can you give more information, or a gif, please?

[luofish]

hi, @kassio I use latest neovim version 0.2.1dev. map F4 to Ttoggle.
