FTerm.nvim VS reptyr

To achieve our goals of fingertip access nirvana, we are going to be using a plugin called FTerm.nvim.

i use F2 to toggle Fterm

IIUC this request https://github.com/numToStr/FTerm.nvim/issues/67 is also similar to your use case. I might implement this in FTerm.nvim but I have to study the client-remote thingy.

Have you checked out https://github.com/numToStr/FTerm.nvim?

gitui inside FTerm.nvim has been my preferred method to interact with git from within nvim. gitui has indeed proven to be a great frontend to git.

I did a bit of hunting and came across FTerm.nvim and I immediately notice that it is created and maintained by numToStr who also maintains Comment.nvim which is my preferred Neovim commenting plugin, which has always always worked great.

If you’re talking about the terminal inside a floating window, I think fterm.nvim is one which people commonly use.

I use https://github.com/numToStr/FTerm.nvim since you can specify in the setup which shell to use

It only work for very simple situation (project with only one build target), but it quite save a lot of time for me. For much complex situation, I prefer to write a singe bash script for specific project, and run them in FTerm

Maybe https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr

https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr I guess this is what your looking for (it reparents a process, while retaining stdin/out using the ptrace syscall and some linux hacks iiuc)

Start CPython and import the libraries. Then keep the process running as a fork server. Whenever a new instance it needed, we make a fork (os.fork), and apply a similar logic as reptyr. Some technical details are here.

Very much reminds me of reptyr

- reptyr: https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr

using mosh means i don't get SIGHUP, and if i use my local display, i can open another mosh, reptr my old session (it's still there!) and keep on hacking.

I know there is reptyr to reattaching running process to another tty. You can probably do the same from within the program. There is an abandoned rust rewrite you can probably ignore.

Alternatively, there's also reptyr, which allows you to reattach to a detached process - thereby giving you access to the standard input and standard output of a running Minecraft server instance.
