footerm.nvim

A quality of life improvement to the neovim builtin terminal. It lets you quickly open and close the terminal as a floating window at the center of the screen. It is also customized to allow you to use Esc key to exit terminal mode instead of the builtin awkward command Ctrl-\ + Ctrl-n.

Why?

There is no big reason really. You can quickly do this on your own in your own config. I just want to use this as my first taste in making custom neovim plugin.

Installation

• Packer

use 'beeploop/footerm.nvim'

• Lazy

{ 'beeploop/footerm.nvim' }

Usage

You can use it via command:

:lua require("footerm.nvim").cmd_open()

or

:lua require("footerm.nvim").cmd_close()

or create a mapping:

-- to open
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>co", require("footerm.nvim").cmd_open, {})

-- to close
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>cc", require("footerm.nvim").cmd_close, {})
