    For vim users, check out vim-slime[1]. It's really changed my workflow! It can work for any language that uses a REPL, including bash/shell. Combined with tmux, it is an amazing and (in hindsight) obvious tool. I honestly can't imagine myself going back to not having it now.

    For splitting the terminal you could try either toggleterm or tmux. If you want to send things from one tmux pane to another, then you can use slime. For a toggle-able filetree, you can use nvim tree.

    This is yet another plugin to capture text from the current buffer and send it to a tmux pane. I was using https://github.com/jpalardy/vim-slime previously, and wished I could just set sensible defaults for where to send text. Also, I wanted to create my first Neovim plugin! I have to say, after writing a bit of Vimscript in the past, the Neovim Lua API makes me a much happier camper.

    I use slime (which sends code to tmux panes), tmux (of course) and ipython for this. For example, the code I sent to ipython was with a simple keybinding ...

    If I understand correctly, what you need is a combination of vim, tmux, ipython and vim-slime.

    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.)

    However, if you're coding in an interpreted language like python, R, bash, etc., then there is one plugin which you are likely to find helpful. That's vim-slime.
