asyncrun.vim VS vim-floaterm

I'm familiar with asyncrun.vim, but it outputs as quickfix. I specifically want to filter editor text (as stdin/stdout).

If you want to open a new terminal in the CWD of neovim, you couls either use neovim's built in terminal or, if it needa to be kitty, use the neovim AsyncRun-plugin and start kitty with the necessary command-line options to start in neovims's CWD(I uae this with Alacritty instead of Kitty).

For running the file there are several tools. I have been using asynctasks.vim which is built on top of asyncrun.vim which I usually use to open a tmux pane and run the code/test. I've been looking at switching to overseer.nvim but haven't yet. I use justfiles to define all of my tasks.

I can :Man blah to look up docs or :AsyncRun to build/run with jumpable output in the quickfix. Doing it within vim means I can pull from any register for pasting, yank without a mouse, hide buffers or move them to tabs, etc.

I use asyncrun.vim to see compile output as it happens (line by line instead of the whole dump when compile completes) and asynchronously (so I can keep navigating around).

Also AsyncRun and AsyncTasks worth a mention.

Hey folks, I'm using asyncrun to run async commands on vim, but some of them output ansi colorcodes, I've found powerman's AnsiEsc which is able to conceal and highlight them very well, but that only work for the current buffer, so there's no way to automate it from g:asyncrun_exit and I can't set the -post from asynctasks, has anyone found a way to fix this?

As you can see, I use asyncrun.nvim since sometime compiling/running will take quite long. For some complex situations, like c++ project with cmake, I use following code:

Recently I came across AsyncRun, a plugin that handles that. https://github.com/skywind3000/asyncrun.vim

vim-floaterm has wrappers around some terminal filemanagers.

If you don't like distro's and want to use something of your own, make sure that you have a few plugins like telescope.nvim, lazy.nvim, toggleterm.nvim Or vim-floaterm, gitsigns.nvim, which-key.nvim, which will make your neovim journey smooth. Again these are just few, but I highly recommend it.

My personal favorite is ranger, a multi-panel console file manager that works nicely in a Neovim terminal. I also use floaterm to get floating terminal windows for ranger and lazygit, but that's optional. A Neovim tab with a terminal would work equally well.

For simple tasks like opening a dirty file in nvim I prefer vim-floaterm. It has a really nice integration with a bunch of TUI tools.

The two obvious candidates are vim-floaterm and toggleterm.nvim.

I’d suggest taking a look at vim-floaterm. While I don’t use this feature, it should have the ability to do what you’ve described

vimwiki + floatterm + vimwiki-sync

Leave the editor? I'im using Floaterm to quick access to shell. Beside, I have Tmux covered too
