toggleterm.nvim
A Neovim plugin to persist and toggle multiple terminal windows with customizable layouts and commands.
What is toggleterm.nvim?
Toggleterm.nvim is a Neovim plugin that manages multiple persistent terminal windows within the editor. It allows users to create, toggle, and control terminals in various layouts like floating, vertical, horizontal, and tabbed, making terminal workflows more integrated and ergonomic. It solves the problem of Neovim's built-in terminal being functional but not ergonomic for running background processes or having multiple easy-to-access terminal sessions.
Neovim users (version 0.7 or newer) who frequently use terminal sessions within their editor for tasks like running background processes, version control, system monitoring, or executing commands without leaving the editing environment.
Developers choose toggleterm.nvim because it is a lightweight, reliable wrapper around Neovim's terminal functionality that prioritizes simplicity and persistent state without unnecessary complexity. Its unique selling points include persistent terminals across sessions, multiple layout orientations, and the ability to send commands directly from Neovim buffers to specific terminals.
