configuration

Executor comes with the following defaults:

{
    commands = {
        -- file type
        cpp = {
            -- command(s) to excute
            "make",
            "g++ % && ./a.out" -- `%` represent the current file name
        },
        python = {
            "python3 %"
        },
        javascript = {
            "nodemon %"
        },
        sh = {
            "bash %"
        },
        vim = {
            "source %",
            extern = false  -- run command in pop terminal instead of terminal
                            -- in new tab
        },
        lua = {
            "luafile %",
            extern = false
        },
        markdown = {
            "MarkdownPreview",
            extern = false
        }

    },
     default_mappings = true, -- use default mapping
    always_exit = true, -- always exit terminal no matter status of previous
    command

     dependency_commands = {
         -- the command make requires the presents of a makefile in cwd, if
         -- makefile is not found, try next command in table
         make = "makefile"
     }
}

Set always_exit to true will run exit after the command no matter the status of the previous command. When set to false, it will only exit when previous command succeeds.

Key mappings

Executor comes with the following key mappings:

nnoremap <leader>m :lua require('executor').executor()<CR> - executes the current file

nnoremap <leader>ct :lua require('executor').term_closer()<CR> - close all terminal windows. Effectively running :bd! on all terminal tabs
