nvim-unception VS FTerm.nvim

You can also use the built-in terminal and use any terminal file manager you want. nvim-unception or flatten.nvim can be used to prevent nesting.

Flatten was inspired by nvim-unception, which accomplishes the same goal but can be difficult to configure in my opinion.

I’d look at how https://github.com/samjwill/nvim-unception does it.

This is my plugin. The relevant use case is demoed here from 30 seconds onwards. Basically, I block a terminal buffer forever until the git commit message buffer is BufUnloaded, which triggers an autocmd that unblocks the terminal buffer. However, it currently only works by opening the git commit message buffer in a new tab.

Try unception

I wrote nvim-unception and posted about it several months back; some people seemed to like it, even though it was still a bit rough around the edges.

I'm obviously incredibly biased, but since I prefer to use the built-in terminal emulator instead of Tmux for multiplexing and running quick bash commands, the biggest improvement for me personally was implementing a plugin that I wrote to quickly open files from inside the terminal buffer, and a keybind that I made to open a terminal window in the directory of the file that has focus.

U could use a plug plugin like nvim-unception to do what you are trying to do more efficiently.

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
