This commit integrates libvterm with Neovim and implements a terminal emulator
with nvim buffers as the display mechanism. Terminal buffers can be created
using any of the following methods:
- Opening a file with name following the "term://[${cwd}//[${pid}:]]${cmd}"
URI pattern where:
- cwd is the working directory of the process
- pid is the process id. This is just for use in session files where a pid
would have been assigned to the saved buffer title.
- cmd is the command to run
- Invoking the `:terminal` ex command
- Invoking the `termopen` function which returns a job id for automating the
terminal window.
Some extra changes were also implemented to adapt with terminal buffers. Here's
an overview:
- The `main` function now sets a BufReadCmd autocmd to intercept the term:// URI
and spawn the terminal buffer instead of reading the file.
- terminal buffers behave as if the following local buffer options were set:
- `nomodifiable`
- `swapfile`
- `undolevels=-1`
- `bufhidden=hide`
- All commands that delete buffers(`:bun`, `:bd` and `:bw`) behave the same for
terminal buffers, but only work when bang is passed(eg: `:bwipeout!`)
- A new "terminal" mode was added. A consequence is that a new set of mapping
commands were implemented with the "t" prefix(tmap, tunmap, tnoremap...)
- The `edit` function(which enters insert mode) will actually enter terminal
mode if the current buffer is a terminal
- The `put` operator was adapted to send data to the terminal instead of
modifying the buffer directly.
- A window being resized will also trigger a terminal resize if the window
displays the terminal.
