How to open terminal in new tab at currently opened file path?

[vulpes-vulpeos]

term command does't accept path as argument, so is it even possible in micro?

Here is keybinding I use in neovim:

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>t', function() vim.cmd('tabnew | lcd ' .. vim.fn.expand('%:p:h') .. ' | terminal') end, { noremap = true, desc = 'Open terminal in new tab at file dir' })

The term command accepts a command as argument so you can use it like this:

term env --chdir=/path/to/some/directory /bin/bash

To get the working directory from the current file you can write a small plugin (put this in your ~/.config/micro/init.lua):

local config = import("micro/config")
local filepath = import("filepath")

function init()
    config.MakeCommand("myterm", termInCurrentDir, config.NoComplete)
end

function termInCurrentDir(bufpane, args)
    local shellCommand = (args == nil or #args == 0) and "/bin/bash" or args[1]
    local workdir = filepath.Dir(bufpane.Buf.Path)
    -- WARNING: if you need to deal with paths that contain double quotes you will need better shell quoting than this
    bufpane:HandleCommand(string.format("term env --chdir=\"%s\" %s", workdir, shellCommand))
end

Thank you, but this code crashes micro.

1. I opened file with open command.
2. ctrl+e -> myterm
3. micro crashes (term command doesn't like provided arguments? )

It's strange that plugins can so easily crash editor itself.

Oops – I forgot to handle the case where you pass in no args from the command line (when testing I was calling the function directly from a keybinding so args was nil instead of empty userdata). I've edited the code, it should work now.

Now it works correctly, thank you.
