editable-term.nvim

This plugin allows you to edit terminal promt as if it was a regular buffer.

Almost every action is supported(except for undo/redo and replace mode), even actions from plugins such as 'ds' from nvim-surround

Requirements

• Neovim 0.11+

Installation

via lazy.nvim

{
    'xb-bx/editable-term.nvim',
    config = true,
}

Configuration

By default the plugin only detects OSC 133 promt lines but you can extend it to support REPLs that dont support OSC 133.

local editableterm = require('editable-term')  
editableterm.setup({
    promts = {
        ['^%(gdb%) '] = {}, -- gdb promt
        ['^>>> '] = {},     -- python PS1
        ['^... '] = {},     -- python PS2
        ['some_other_prompt'] = {
            keybinds = {
                clear_current_line = 'keys to clear the line',   
                goto_line_start = 'keys to goto line start',   
                forward_char = 'keys to move forward one character',   
            }
        },
    },
})

Default keybinds

{
    clear_current_line = '<C-e><C-u>',
    forward_char = '<C-f>',
    goto_line_start = '<C-a>',
}
