neoterm VS gitsigns.nvim

I use Vim with neoterm, highly recommend. - guaranteed support on everything with a repl - never creates unexpected windows - every interaction is explicit

At the moment I am planning to write two modules and then start on 'mini.terminals'. I usually prioritize work based on combination of "I have some cool idea about this" and "I don't like what I am currently using". I am using kassio/neoterm for a very long time and it is quite OK for my needs.

Neovim works just fine. I use Neoterm to send-to-repl, here's what my config looks like. Your other options include vlime and slimv. I switched to neoterm because it's simple, explicit, and doesn't create unpredictable windows. Works for any other language just as well.

Using neovim + https://github.com/kassio/neoterm I have a similar, possibly simpler, workflow that doesn't require any other program (especially listening willy nilly with no authentication/authorization whatsoever) other than your normal SQL client running:

* I open a :Term window, in which I run the sql client (i.e. ":Texec sqlite\ foo.sqlite" or ":Texec mysql foo", etc)

I'm using neoterm. I like that I can use the same tech for every language + consistent keybinds. Also Slime might not support a more fringe or outdated lisp distro but a plain old VTY terminal always will.

Having gone from a stock vim to a highly modified vim and back again, here are some plugins that I find really boost my productivity:

- neoterm, for opening a REPL in a split buffer and quickly sending chunks of lines to the REPL (https://github.com/kassio/neoterm)

- fzf for faster buffer and file navigation (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim)

- vim fugitive for good git integration (https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive)

- some other tpope plugins (surround, unimpared, commentary, vinegar)

I found Vlime to be more updated than slimv and give a smoother experience. With time I've switched to bare neoterm which I highly recommend. CL and lisps in general are designed with a text repl in mind, so this is the method that is guaranteed to work on every obscure CL distribution, and also transfer well to any other REPL-based languages.

I start terminal inside of neovim. It works really well. In this terminal, you can use gf (goto file) keybindigs, etc. It works especially well with this plugin: https://github.com/kassio/neoterm

Workflow is basically to open two windows (left with code, right with terminal) and send code from left window to right with a help of kassio/neoterm.

There are a few bugs that are still there and hinder my workflow https://github.com/kassio/neoterm/issues

Lack of tooling/LSP support compared to Lua. A rather popular neovim plugin, gitsigns, recently switched from teal to regular lua for (among other reasons) the tooling.

gitsigns.nvim

The closest one would be gitsigns

you can use gitsigns

https://github.com/lewis6991/satellite.nvim absolutely amazing choices, visual economy, integration with gitsigns and builtin vim features (marks).

For a long time, I have been searching for solutions for asynchrony in Neovim, but what interested me the most was the one provided by gitsigns.nvim. Therefore, I decided to turn it into a separate module to make it easier to use async in Neovim. I have already created some usage examples.

Oh, the symbols are provided by gitsigns.nvim and I have set :h statuscolumn so that they appear to the right of the line numbers. The settings are done in plugin/statuscolumn.lua. I put custom single-file scripts under plugin and ftplugin, where they serve as light-weighted mini plugins, you can even find the prototype of deadcolumn.nvim there :)

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.

I use https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim, which seems to be the most popular option for Neovim.
