As someone who have just started learning how to use Vim, I want to thank you. This has saved TONS of time reading long, horribly presented articles on the internet about terminal workflow in Vim. Danke!
You actually taught me something BRAND NEW! I never knew VIM could do this at all; that's the thing about this great editor; there's always something new to learn.
Great video. You pack a lot of information into a few minutes, and you explain everything very well. Also, the seamless blending of the terminal with your camera feed is effective. I'm looking forward to seeing more in this series.
Hi Wesley, really liked this video !! however, i would like to know how you showed vim window on top of yourself in the video without intrusing too much ?
Nice, It's very useful. I advise you to change you dwm config in "static const int resizehints = 1;" to 0, it will make your terminal take all of your screen space available underneath the bar, actually it will force dwm to distribute all of your available screen space equally such as i3 does ;) Trust me it'll look a lot better.
Switch to "Terminal-Normal mode" by : Crtl+w, Shift+N Now you can use hjkl etc to navigate like vim, you can also select, copy , so on To go back to terminal mode press i or a.
I have vim-gtk3 version 8.0 With all updates. This is the big version qnd well maintained the ;terminal command does not work for me. Maybe I need vim-gnome Anyway I can still use ctrl-z to pause vim then fg to go back alternatively !sh or !bash and exit work in a similar way.
I've done some testing uninstalling and installing other vim packages, what ever is in the mx-linux repository. The only one that would do this was neo-vim. Just that I prefer to stick with vim.
The video is very nice but the intro doesn't reflect that. I almost always close tabs after hearing overdone or too long intros. Just letting you know sir
You may be on a text-only console that only shows one screen, like any Linux server version running on hardware, or a KVM. Editing a config file and restarting a service would be soon much easier this way. Yes I know about ctrl-alt-f1, etc. but that doesn't always work.
my use case is that there is no good and gratis window manager available yet for "windows OS", and like, i want to be able to tile things.... using separate terminal will come with burden of managing those different window dialogs

So informative!
This is what I wanted to know. Thanks a lot! :)
Waiting for next one...
Hi Wesley, really liked this video !!
however, i would like to know how you showed vim window on top of yourself in the video without intrusing too much ?
Can you please do a video on vifm? That's an excellent file manager. I especially like using the regexp renaming.
Nice, I didn't knew the N one.
What command are you using to close the terminal window?
Hi great video. I like the part where you opened a terminal from vim but in my case this SHIFT+n does not get me into vim like mode ... can you help ?
Awesome vid and tips
Thanks for the video. I keep asking myself why would I ever want to use it if I can use tmux, for example. What’s your take on that?
this was cool !! subscribed

YES! Just did this and I like the way it looks so much better. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you so much! You explain clearly.
Glad it was helpful!
It was really helpfull. Thank you.

what are you doing to close the window...
This is a cool vim trick I will be adding to my .vimrc, however that light switch looks a little off level just thought I should let u know
thanks, I was using another terminal on the bottom on the screen and it was kinda annoying
At 2:45 ... And using edit command to modify .vimrc file? It could be vim .vimrc?
Thanks for your videos, how can we use terminal like vim, I mean we can move text with g,h,j,l
Switch to "Terminal-Normal mode" by : Crtl+w, Shift+N
Now you can use hjkl etc to navigate like vim, you can also select, copy , so on
To go back to terminal mode press i or a.
Perfect!

hey, I can't get the leader button to work. I have "let mapleader ="\"" , but i get an error saying "missing quote". any ideas?
remove the quotation mark before let
No need for that
@@reralt sorry lol, that was meant to show that this was a quote, don't actually have that in the file
Pretty cool

":vert term" is shorter than ":bel vert term"

whaaaaaat?
What is the point of running a terminal from inside of vim? Why not just run a separate terminal?
you have to use mouse to do something between vim and a separate terminal.

:terminal is super great because one can do things like ':term ssh my.raspberry.pi mysql -h localhost' and get a mysql shell on your remote server
