Pasting into a terminal buffer

Pasting into a terminal buffer

Yanking and pasting works seemlessly between Neovim’s regular buffers and terminal buffers. In this video, we’ll look at how the Normal mode paste command works in a terminal buffer, and we’ll create a mapping to help with pasting text directly from Terminal mode.

Creating mappings for :terminal

Neovim lets us create mappings using the meta key. In this video, we’ll set up some mappings to make it easier to exit from Terminal mode. We’ll also set up mappings using the meta key with h, j, k, and l to switch between split windows.

Neovim's terminal emulator

Neovim lets you run a terminal emulator inside of a buffer. In this video, we’ll cover some of the basics of how terminal buffers work, and how you can use them alongside regular buffers in your workflow.

Live substitution and yank highlighting

This video covers a couple of small but delightful Neovim features. You’ll see how to make Neovim show a live preview of how the substitute command will change our document. And you’ll find out how to make the yank operation highlight the range of text that it copied.

CheckHealth in Neovim

Neovim’s :checkhealth command can diagnose problems with your configuration. In this video, we’ll run this command and follow its suggestions to enable features such as python integration and ruby integration.
