[Feature] Spawn a terminal to edit the text instead of inline like Tridactyl

Marin-Kitagawa opened this issue · comments

Tridactyl's feature of spawning a terminal for editing purposes is really useful. At least provide this as an option. This is because, I use my own themes and configurations (mostly in Lua). This is not rendered properly inline and sometimes the error message box from Astronvim is too big that it hides the entire text being typed. Also, sometimes the textarea is too narrow. So, it will be better to spawn a terminal that provides flexibility for editing and a broader viewport.

For spawning Neovim in a true terminal/GUI, I would recommend using GhostText. I think I would not be able to do anything better enough to justify duplicating efforts/extensions.

If the Firenvim window is too small, you can make it bigger with :set lines=20 columns=200. You can also configure Firenvim to use Neovim's commandline instead of the default "floating" command line, this might help too.

I would also be interested in a screenshot of what isn't rendered properly and a description of how it should be rendered instead, I'm all for fixing bugs :)

Oh thanks a lot. I am right now writing this using GhostText. Also, thanks for the command. Will try
