How do I add cwd and override esc to toggle terminal?

[rez1coder]

I didn't try any Neovim plugin until two days ago.

I spent many hours, but couldn't implement

• cwd
• override the esc key to toggle terminal

The docs weren't clear. Types, Module are alien words to me :')

My config

---@module 'lazy'
---@type LazySpec
return {
  {
    'folke/snacks.nvim',
    priority = 1000,
    lazy = false,
    opts = {
      terminal = {
        enabled = true,
        win = {
          position = 'bottom',
          interactive = true,
          wo = {
            winbar = "",
          },
        },
      },
    },
    keys = {
      { '<c-\\>', function() Snacks.terminal.toggle() end, mode = { 'n', 't' }, desc = 'Toggle Terminal' },
    },
  },
}

Set up the Language Server Protocol (LSP) and autocompletion first. You can start your learning journey with kickstart.nvim (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8C0Cq9Uv9o&t).

• The easiest neovim autocompletion setup?

cwd

Snacks.terminal.toggle(nil, { cwd = '/home' })

Override the esc key to toggle terminal

Just don't, toggle with <C-\\>. When you're in terminal mode, all your input goes directly into the shell, so you can't use any Neovim keymaps. The <Esc> key is used to switch from terminal mode back to normal mode in Neovim.

Custom directory and vim.fn.expand '%:p:h' worked. vim.fn.getcwd() isn't working though

{ '<leader>t', function() Snacks.terminal.open(nil, { cwd = '/home/project/' }) end, mode = { 'n', 't' }, desc = 'Open Terminal' },

I'm getting Undefined global Snacks error through lsp in my snacks.lua file.

Toggle creates a new split terminal :(

{ '<c-\\>', function() Snacks.terminal.toggle(nil, { cwd = '/home/project/' }) end, mode = { 'n', 't' }, desc = 'Toggle Terminal' },

1. It works, and you don’t need to define cwd = vim.fn.getcwd() since that’s the default behavior (:pwd, :cd).
2. bug: LSP doesn't resolve snacks types #443 (comment).
3. It toggles the terminal for me.

-- nvim -u repro.lua repro.lua

-- repro.lua

vim.env.LAZY_STDPATH = '.repro'
load(vim.fn.system 'curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/folke/lazy.nvim/main/bootstrap.lua')()

require('lazy.minit').repro {
  spec = {
    {
      'folke/snacks.nvim',
      lazy = false,
      -- stylua: ignore
      keys = {
        { '<C-\\>', function() Snacks.terminal.toggle(nil, { cwd = '/home/clover/.config' }) end, mode = { 'n', 't' }, desc = 'Toggle Terminal' },
      },
      ---@module 'snacks'
      ---@type snacks.Config
      opts = {
        terminal = {
          win = {
            interactive = true,
            position = 'bottom',
            wo = {
              winbar = '',
            },
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

This indeed solves the query I posted above.

My use case is different. Snacks.terminal.open creates a new terminal. Snacks.terminal.toggle should hide it. Instead it creates another split terminal window. Pressing again toggles that window. not the one created by Snacks.terminal.open

{ '<C-\\>', function() Snacks.terminal.open(nil, { cwd = '/home/clover/.config' }) end, mode = { 'n', 't' }, desc = 'Open Terminal'
{ '<C-\\>', function() Snacks.terminal.toggle(nil, { cwd = '/home/clover/.config' }) end, mode = { 'n', 't' }, desc = 'Toggle Terminal' },

[drowning-cat]

{
  '<C-\\>',
  function()
    local term = Snacks.terminal.get(nil, { cwd = '/home/clover/.config', create = false })
    -- stylua: ignore
    if term then term:toggle() end -- term:close { buf = false }
  end,
  mode = { 'n', 't' },
  desc = 'Close Terminal',
},

extra ) on the 4th line. Snacks.terminal.get toggles Snacks.terminal.toggle but doesn't toggle Snacks.terminal.open ones.

I appreciate your time. Thank you.

I've already spent 8 hours on this. I'm giving up and making my own custom terminal.

I'm too sleepy. I'll try to find a bug tomorrow.
