It only seems to happen the first time so I think it has something to do with that whole starting the bb repl with corresponding message process

I've had the same exact problem, which was related to a custom autocmd that I had set up that automatically puts me into insert mode when entering a terminal buffer. I fixed it by adding another autocmd that puts me in normal mode when entering a Clojure buffer :) This may or may not be useful, your issue might turn out to be something else. But maybe it's a similar issue.

Do you mind sharing it? I coincidentally had your vim config bookmarked but I am not finding it and my attempts aren't working

I'm honored! 😁 Here is the commit where I added it: https://github.com/daveyarwood/dotfiles/commit/6c89be3f6dc757cb123f6e5e95f1b27e8fce6166

How wild, I literally had just tried that Filetype...stopinsert method and it wasn't working.

Anyways, that works. Thanks man

Woohoo! It feels good that my hackery is benefiting someone other than myself 😂

It does not, sadly 😭 I have an issue you can watch now though https://github.com/Olical/conjure/issues/220 might be able to look at it kinda soon.

I'm away from home visiting my parents next week so I might get some hours where I have nothing else to do other than a bit of OSS, might have the energy for it then 🙂

I really need to get back to the time where I worked Mon-Thurs and spent my Fridays working on my own things 😅

Thanks for the issue to watch

I have some free time coming up next month, maybe I can help out with tap support (or something else)
