[Terminal] How to change <esc> to jk for normal mode & mapping for toggling floating terminal

[rbhanot4739]

Is it possible to change the default mapping of double <esc> to jk to go to normal mode in terminal without having to overwrite the entire key spec for it like below ?

keys = {
    term_normal = {
      "jk,
      function(self)
        self.esc_timer = self.esc_timer or (vim.uv or vim.loop).new_timer()
        if self.esc_timer:is_active() then
          self.esc_timer:stop()
          vim.cmd("stopinsert")
        else
          self.esc_timer:start(200, 0, function() end)
          return "<esc>"
        end
      end,
      mode = "t",
      expr = true,
      desc = "jk to normal mode",
    },
  }

On the same note I was trying to create a mapping to a file-type-specific repl terminal, but I am not able to toggle it properly.

{
      "<M-/>",
      mode = { "n", "t" },
      function()
        local ft = vim.bo.filetype
        local ft_cmds = { python = "ipython", lua = "lua" }
        print(ft)
        if ft == "snacks_terminal" then
     -- this is where I am having issue
        else
          Snacks.terminal.toggle(ft_cmds[ft])
        end
        -- Snacks.terminal.toggle(nil, { win = { position = "float" } })
      end,
      desc = "Toggle terminal",
    }

So pressing <M-/> opens a floating repl for me but when I press it again the it does not toggle the current floating repl instead it opens another snacks terminal window in bottom position and pressing <M-/> 2 more times actually closes the floating repl window.

I think the reason for is that ft of the floating repl is snacks_terminal but I can't figure out how to close that.

I have

{ "<C-t>", mode = { "n", "t", "i" }, function() 
        local ft = vim.bo.filetype
        local ft_cmds = {python = "python", lua = "lua"}
        print(ft)
        Snacks.terminal.toggle(ft_cmds[ft]) 
  end,
  desc = "Toggle Terminal", },

To open the terminal and

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("TermOpen", {
	pattern = "*",
	callback = function()
		local term_title = vim.b.term_title
		if term_title and term_title:match("lua") then
			vim.keymap.set("t", "<C-t>", "<cmd>close<cr>", { buffer = true })
		end
	end,
})

To toggle the terminal

@maskudo not sure why do we need autocmd for this ?

[rbhanot4739]

@folke Is there a cleaner way to achieve the above keymap configs ?

[maskudo]

I'm using autocmd to create keybinds for that specific terminal only because I use mutltiple terminals(one for lazygit, one for zsh). Otherwise the same keybind would close other kinds of terminals as well.

@maskudo this seems to work without the need of an autocmd

{
      "<M-/>",
      mode = { "n", "t", "i" },
      function()
        local ft = vim.bo.filetype
        local ft_cmds = { python = "ipython", lua = "lua" }
        if ft == "snacks_terminal" then
          vim.cmd("close")
        else
          Snacks.terminal.toggle(ft_cmds[ft], { interactive = false })
        end
      end,
      desc = "Toggle terminal",
    }

And also I ended up doing vim.keymap.set("t", "jk", [[<C-\><C-n>]])
