The other day I blogged about how I was looking for embedded terminal in vim and found something hilarious. This post is about how I solved what I was trying to do.
I know I can do :shell
, but that’s quite not what I wanted. Here’s how I got it working the way I want with byobu:
- Open a terminal and start
byobu
. - Type
C-a S
, basically, Ctrl followed by a, and then capital S. - Then,
C-a :
, so you can type commands to the screen. - Now you can type
resize +15
to increase the size of the top split C-a Tab
, to switch to the other splitC-a c
to create a new terminal there.- Use
C-a Tab
to switch between the splits. - ???
- PROFIT!
I’d love to make this into some kind of config that I can load, but I haven’t discovered that yet. If someone knows how, please do let me know in the comments!
