Bah. Someone has highlighted me, but it's lost in the short backlog 😞

https://clojurians-log-staging.clojureverse.org/vim-fireplace might be here

I wonder if I should try a graphical neovim. The :terminal is handy for repl, but I'm getting somewhat tired of having two layers of tiles and two different bindings to move between them (i3 and neovim)

I'm assuming that I could have the :terminal "split" in a completely new window, of course

@dominicm Thanks, it was!

@jebberjeb Back from sick leave, thanks for the testing snippet

@tomi.hukkalainen_slac why not just use i3 for everything?

i think one of my coworkers does that. he has a chrome plugin installed that makes new tabs open as new windows

by "use i3 for everything," i mean only use vim for editing single buffers, and if you need to open a split, just open a new window editing the file you want to edit

i guess that approach would take a little bit of setup, but maybe not terrible. i'm imagining writing a vim ex command like :I3edit some-file.foo and have it shell out to run whatever command you need to do that opens an i3 window with vim /path/to/some-file.foo

I guess I could try fireplace

But so far I've been using jeb's snippet for communicating with a repl in :terminal

So it has to be in the same process

That's what I meant by using a graphical neovim; I could have multiple buffers in separate windows

@tomi.hukkalainen_slac what I’ll do some of the time is run my process separately, and launch it with a SocketREPL (using JVM command line args), then in :terminal I’ll do nc localhost port.

Not sure if that’s useful for your setup, but at least it decouples my Clojure process from Neovim — when I need it

Oh sure, I have to use that now and then anyway

There's an issue on neovim to support multiple windows.

@dominicm You mean running it in multiple terminal emulators, while still in the same process?

Or do you mean that the graphical frontends cannot handle multiple windows either, currently?

The former.

Seems like it

Looks like a pretty low traffic issue 😕

Yeah. Neovim has slowed a little. I think they're bug fixing primarily for next release. Less of a feature focus.
