runner-nvim

runner-nvim.mp4

A simple and lightweight Neovim plugin to run commands in a floating terminal. It remembers the last command executed per project (current working directory), making it easy to repeat build or test commands.

Features

• Floating Terminal: meaningful terminal window toggling.
• Project-specific History: Remembers the last command run for each directory.
• Quick Repeat: Easily run the last command again with a single keybinding.
• Interactive Prompt: Simple floating input to type your command.

Installation

Install using your favorite package manager. Here is an example with lazy.nvim:

{
    "TheLazyCat00/runner-nvim",
    opts = {}, -- This is required to call setup()
    keys = {
        { "<leader>r", function () require("runner-nvim").runLast() end, desc = "Run last cmd" },
        { "<leader>o", function () require("runner-nvim").run() end, desc = "Run cmd" },
        { "<leader>t", function () require("runner-nvim").toggle() end, desc = "Toggle terminal"},
    }
}

Usage

• Run Command: Trigger the run command keybinding (e.g., <leader>o). A prompt will appear. Type your shell command (e.g., npm test, cargo build, make) and press Enter.
• Run Last Command: Trigger the run last command keybinding (e.g., <leader>r). The plugin will execute the last command used in the current working directory. If no command is found, it will prompt you for one.
• Toggle Terminal: Use the toggle keybinding (e.g., <leader>t) to show or hide the terminal window.
• Close Terminal: Press q in Normal mode inside the terminal window to close it.
