intero repl navigation

[kinsho6i7h]

This may be me, not a bug.

repl starts with io. I switch split. Cursor is now in repl window but, is misplaced and inactive.

'i' changes this to :terminal and the repl works fine.

However, the only way to exit I can see is CTRL-d which kills the repl and the split returning me to the source. Surely this isn't right ?

What am I missing?

Neovim's terminal emulator uses Ctrl-\ Ctrl-n as an escape sequence which puts you back in normal mode.

This is inconvenient, so I setup the following keymaps in my configuration:

" Alt-{hjkl} for navigating panes
tnoremap <A-h> <C-\><C-n><C-w>h
tnoremap <A-j> <C-\><C-n><C-w>j
tnoremap <A-k> <C-\><C-n><C-w>k
tnoremap <A-l> <C-\><C-n><C-w>l
nnoremap <A-h> <C-w>h
nnoremap <A-j> <C-w>j
nnoremap <A-k> <C-w>k
nnoremap <A-l> <C-w>l

That allows you to use Alt-{h,j,k,l} to navigate splits in both terminal and normal mode.

Many thanks, it was driving me crazy. Will adapt the dot file.
Might be worth adding these keymaps to the docs.

Could be! If enough people are confused by this aspect of neovim, I'll add a note.

Onlookers: throw a thumbs up on this comment if you want this info in a more visible place :)

Just to add, worked great and, I came to nvim from vim purely to use intero-nvim so was unaware of escape sequences. I usually just use ESC to get out of mode.
