Integrated terminal

[apiening]

Just to provide some context, I'm in the process of switching from https://github.com/ChristianChiarulli/nvim to LunarVim.

Since the shortcut overview that pops up after a short delay when the <leader> key is pressed did not show Terminal related options, I wanted to mimic the behavior of the config from Chris@machine where a submenu reachable by <leader> <t> shows options for multiple terminals and options for Float, Horizontal, Vertical and others.

I noticed that ToggleTerm which seems to be responsible for the floating terminal, is already installed. I added the following config to my config.lua:

lvim.builtin.which_key.mappings["t"] = {
  name = "+Terminal",
  f = { "<cmd>ToggleTerm<cr>", "Floating terminal" },
}

This gives me the option to start a floating terminal with <leader> <t> <f> and the shortcut is also displayed in the shortcut overview popup.

But I'm still missing the other terminal options (horizontal, vertical, multiple terminals etc.) and I wonder how they are implemented. It feels like I'm missing something.

Any hints are greatly appreciated.

You can try something like

lvim.builtin.which_key.mappings["t"] = {
  name = "+Terminal",
  f = { "<cmd>ToggleTerm<cr>", "Floating terminal" },
  v = { "<cmd>2ToggleTerm size=30 direction=vertical<cr>", "Split vertical" },
  h = { "<cmd>2ToggleTerm size=30 direction=horizontal<cr>", "Split horizontal" },
}

Got it from here.

tysm guys this works great but how do I quickly exit the floating terminal?

You can also type "exit".
