description
fancyterm is a simple plugin that helps with sending entire buffers
or just lines or selections into repls or shells

fancyterm isn't actually as fancy as some more advanced live-repl
environments, but because it aims to be somewhat universal, it works
with many repls/shells out of the box, without any extra configuration.

So it can easily become a quick-and-easy way to start a live-repl programming
session.

fancyterm-2.0.0.tgz 2.0.0 2024-04-17 9.0 Ernest Deak Since version 2.0.0 the default <C-i> bindings have been removed.
Instead, the <leader> key has been used in their place. This is because
I didn't realize what <C-i> was actually used for, and choose it pretty much
at random.
If you set `let g:fancyterm_map_keys = 0` then this change doesn't affect you
fancyterm-1.2.2.tgz 1.2.2 2024-04-15 9.0 Ernest Deak fix for TermSendCurrentLine() not expanding tabs to spaces upon sending them to the terminal
fix for TermSendVisual() sending the visual selection several times
fancyterm-1.2.0.tgz 1.2.0 2024-04-15 9.0 Ernest Deak Tab expansion now happens based on the &tabstop global setting.
Fixed a bug where the current line would not be escaped before being sent to the terminal.
fancyterm-1.1.0.tgz 1.1.0 2024-04-15 9.0 Ernest Deak Added a command to set the active terminal via :TermSetActive
fancyterm-1.0.0.tgz 1.0.0 2024-04-14 9.0 Ernest Deak Initial upload
