Custom Plugins Setup
ToggleTerm
Quick notes on the terminal experience provided by lua/custom/plugins/toggleterm.lua.
Highlights
- Floating terminals sized responsively to the current UI (
<C-\>or<leader>tf). - Dedicated splits:
<leader>th(horizontal) and<leader>tv(vertical). - Terminal picker
<leader>ttto switch between multiple terminals. - Send code to the primary terminal with
<leader>ts(line or visual selection). - Terminal windows inherit familiar navigation (
<Esc>,jk,<C-hjkl>) automatically.
Tips
- Use counts (
2ToggleTerm,3ToggleTerm) when you want to retarget a specific layout. TermExec cmd="npm run test"reuses the floating terminal without stealing focus.- Update sizing or borders in
float_optsif your display or font spacing demands it.
LazyGit
Enhanced git interface using lua/custom/plugins/lazygit.lua.
Highlights
- Fast, native lazygit integration with no keyboard shortcut conflicts
- Opens in a proper floating window (95% of screen size)
- Fully functional with all lazygit features and keybindings
- Use
<leader>ggto open lazygit in current repo - Use
<leader>gfto open lazygit focused on current file history
Why Not ToggleTerm?
LazyGit.nvim is used instead of toggleterm for lazygit because:
- Better performance (uses native terminal, not Neovim's terminal emulator)
- No keyboard shortcut conflicts (q, Esc, etc. work as expected)
- Designed specifically for lazygit integration
- Supports editing commit messages in Neovim
