Execute make (or any shell command) without blocking Neovim and output to QuickFix.
Useful for long-running builds, especially with gradle. The QuickFix window will popup
automatically. The build can be interrupted with the conventional keystroke CTRL-c.
Install with any package manager from sakhnik/make-async.nvim.
Initialize:
require'make-async.nvim'.setup {}
Set 'makeprg' to the desired command.
:set makeprg=./gradlew\ assemble
Then kick off the build:
:lua require'make-async.nvim'.make()
Or the same with a key mapping <leader>mm.
If a shell command is to be executed without modifying makeprg, try this:
:X ./another-build-script.sh
