  • Another option to consider is tmux with neovim.

  • Still getting used to this. I'm having a hard time opening side-by-side terminals.

    I think my next step is to reduce my config down to just this and make sure nothing is interfering. But if anybody already figured this out, I'm all ears.

    • Iā€™m having a hard time opening side-by-side terminals

      Side-by-side how? the way I imagine this is starting with a single window with a regular buffer, then opening two toggleterm terminals in splits to end up like this:

      If that's what you mean, all you need is to pass unique terminal ids as you call ToggleTerm.

      • :ToggleTerm 1<CR>
      • :ToggleTerm 2<CR>

      You could then map that to whatever keys you want, like <c-1> and <c-2>:

       lua
          
vim.keymap.set('n', '<c-1>', ':ToggleTerm 1<CR>')
vim.keymap.set('n', '<c-2>', ':ToggleTerm 2<CR>')

      I have a similar setup: https://github.com/davidmh/dot-files/blob/3b0e79919f231db1f3628f6fde06e9f78f347b87/nvim/fnl/own/plugin/toggle-term.fnl

      • ctrl + 1-5 for dedicated split terms
      • alt + 1-5 for dedicated tab terms
      • ctrl + t as a wildcard split term, that's my go to
      • alt + t to attach or start a tmux session in a tab

    • I think you can learn a thing or two from this guy's config, his keybinding config is clean and I stole it :D toggle layzygit and vifm from toggleterm is nice if you use them. Btw: it only configs float terminal, side by side terminals I just use tmux instead
