  As a data point, I'd like to chime in here. I have been a 15 year user of tmux (and screen before that) and never thought I'd change my development habits. Over the holidays I decided I would do one of those once-every-five-years upgrades to my vim setup as I had accrued dozens of vendored plugins in normal vim and wanted to see what the big deal with neovim was.

  I bit the bullet and evaluated some of the "distributions" (AstroNvim and kickstarter) and played around with all the new lua plugins that I had never thought I needed (why use telescope when FZF-vim worked so well?).

  Anyways, after a month of tweaking and absorbing, I found myself running Neovide only, and doing something I never thought I'd see, running tmux from within neovim/neovide. I think this only works (for me) because of session management (there are half a dozen plugins for handling quickly changing 'workspaces') and because the built-in terminal (with a very useful plugin called toggleterm: https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim) works so well.

  I have not stopped using tmux and layouts, and it sits in another fullscreen iterm2 workspace, but I find that I now spend 90% of my time using a fullscreen neovide and summoning/toggling tmux momentarily for running commands.

  Of course, the caveat here is that my preferred mode of operation is being fullscreen as often as possible. I think if your preferred mode of operation is to always see splits then running neovim from the terminal within tmux is still the way to go.

  As for why I like neovide? I find the animations, when tweaked to be less 'cool' are extremely useful to see where the cursor jumps to. I am also a huge fan of the fact that I can finally use 'linespace' to put some space between my lines of code -- it is an aesthetic I didn't realize I wanted.

  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.

• Is there any gotchas for using Neovim's built in terminal?

  I just found toggleterm which feels awesome. Pretty much exactly what I was looking for to use with Alacritty but even better since its integrated into the rest of my Neovim workflow.

• How to unfloat a terminal in Lazyvim
  1 project | /r/neovim | 12 Sep 2023

  I saw this plugin that tells me how to do it, however I got confused after I added "require("toggleterm").setup({})" in the lazy.lua file and installed the package as well using the Lazy command

• VSCode-like terminal setup

  I tried toggleterm but I wasn't successful.

  And I never really got into Gitsigns or vim-fugitive. Lots of people love them, so I'm sure they're great, but I'm happy opening a floating terminal with Toggleterm and using Lazygit.

• Using Floaterm, what's the best way to toggle between the editor and opened window and maintain the shell session?

  I agree with u/Bamseg, but you can get what you want using toggleterm.nvim BUT NOT IN FLOAT.

• What do you use for git integration in neovim?
  8 projects | /r/neovim | 6 Jun 2023

  I use gitsigns for linewise operations (blame, reset, etc), and a floating terminal (toggleterm) for everything else. flatten.nvim also helps with nested nvim instances.

• Switching from Emacs. My experience

  but I ended up finding a good enough workaround by using Lazygit through Toggleterm.
