ptpython VS vim-floaterm

Ptpython reads from a configuration file where we can specify custom keybindings and the REPL colorscheme. The default configuration file can be copied from prompt-toolkit/ptpython/blob/master/examples/ptpython_config/config.py.

If you like using the REPL, for Python I recommend you try https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython

REPL??? Do you have a very-easy-to-use way of running and testing your code? From vim-slime to nvim sniprun to autocommands with the built in terminal, to an external repl like ptpython (for python obviously). iron.nvim and conjure are two other neovim repl plugins. There are many ways of running the code that you're working on, and having something that makes this really easy for you is pretty essential. (sometimes I use inotifytools on linux to literally just run the script every time I save it.)

I use ptpython for my python repl https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython. I find it very convenient because it has a vim mode, and many vim similarities.

A library like ptpython should be what you're looking for, however this probably isn't an option for an exam setting.

create a repl to the standard that ptpython sets for python (both croissant and ilua leave a lot to be desired)

My bad - the >>> and ... in my post are from an interactive shell session. - so there is an implicit print - which is why you see the output.

https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython is also a good one

Even better than iPython is PTPython, which can be used like a regular python interpreter with cool features.

Using https://github.com/voldikss/vim-floaterm and remap the same shortcuts to (un)toggle the terminal would be interesting for you, also about compatibility, because if tomorrow you use nvim in the terminal you have the same key maps.

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
