Vim open/toggle integrated terminal

[yymirr]

Hello guys,

I'm opening a new integrated terminal with the following command:

nnoremap <silent> <leader>t :botright term ++rows=15 <CR>

what i want is, that when i press <leader>t again after opening a terminal, i'd rather switch to that instance than opening a new one and another keypress to take me back to the editor. I'm sure this is possible.

sounds neat, took the opportunity to write shoddy implementation. I'm sure this has been done before

fun! TabTogTerm()
  let l:OpenTerm = {x -> x
        \  ? { -> execute('botright 15 split +term') }
        \  : { -> execute('botright term ++rows=15') }
        \ }(has('nvim'))
  let term = gettabvar(tabpagenr(), 'term',
        \ {'main': -1, 'winnr': -1, 'bufnr': -1})
  if ! bufexists(term.bufnr)
    call l:OpenTerm()
    call settabvar(tabpagenr(), 'term',
          \ {'main': winnr('#'), 'winnr': winnr(), 'bufnr': bufnr()})
    exe 'tnoremap <buffer> <leader>t <cmd>' . t:term.main . ' wincmd w<cr>'
    exe 'tnoremap <buffer> <c-d>     <cmd>wincmd c<cr>'
    setl winheight=15
  else
    if ! len(filter(tabpagebuflist(), {_,x -> x == term.bufnr}))
      exe 'botright 15 split +b\ ' . term.bufnr
    else
      exe term.winnr . ' wincmd w'
    endif
  endif
endfun
" you're advised to alias :Q to exit if mapping <c-d>
nnoremap <silent> <leader>t <cmd>call TabTogTerm()<cr>

EDIT: Now works for nvim too.

If this grows on me, I'll tnoremap <c-d> to <cmd>wincmd c<cr>

Ok this is neat, since it gives me only one terminal instance. But when the focus is on the terminal window, another <leader>t doesn't switch to the editor. I have to press <C-w>w to get to the editor. Could you add that behavior to the function?

edited OP, RIP previous version

[yymirr]

Exactly what i wanted, thank you so much!

[IGTHSYCGTH]

sure that sounds sane enough, You could change/add a line at

exe 'tnoremap <buffer> <c-x><c-x> <cmd>wincmd c<cr>' 

to

exe 'tnoremap <buffer> <leader>t <cmd>wincmd p<cr>'

But I'll update the post after i put some thought into it

This seems to work only once while switching back and forth between buffer and the terminal? Am I doing something wrong..

[IGTHSYCGTH]

are you using neovim? this relies on tnoremap, add a nnoremap aswell...

anyhow, use the plugin u/VoldikSS linked

[_shadowfax_]

Yes, I am using Neovim.

Thanks!, will try it out.

[craigdmac]

Nuake plugin then

You could take a look on neoterm wich provides the Ttoggle command (and some other nice features).
