zsh-nvrepl
Let Zsh acts as if a REPL of Neovim's Ex-command.
Zsh runs commands starting with : as Ex-command on Neovim, receives the output and echoes it.
Watch the following demo which runs Zsh on Neovim's terminal.
Requirements
Setup
Source the following script.
Then, <kbd>Enter</kbd> will run Ex-command if the Zsh's buffer starts with : and $NVIM is set by the parent Neovim.
Otherwise, the buffer is interpreted ordinarily.
source nvrepl.plugin.zsh # or use plugin managers you like
if [[ -n "$NVIM" ]]; then
bindkey '^m' nvrepl-or-accept-line
fi
If you want to customize the behavior of nvr (neovim-remote), then define nvrepl-nvr function.
This function should receive the --remote-expr parameter.
For example, the function below allows modifying the address that Neovim listens to. This might be useful when attaching external Zsh, such as one from a tmux pane, as a Neovim's REPL.
function nvrepl-nvr() {
nvr --servername "your neovim server" "$@"
}
