vim-floaterm

vim-floaterm is a terminal manager for Vim and Neovim that opens terminals in floating windows or popups, keeping your editor layout uncluttered. It lets you spawn multiple terminals, toggle them on demand, and cycle through them with mappings, which is ideal for running tests, REPLs, and CLIs alongside code. In Neovim it leverages native floating windows; in Vim it uses popup windows where available to simulate similar behavior. Each floaterm instance can have its own working directory, title, and size, so you can dedicate terminals to specific tasks per project. The plugin integrates smoothly with common tools and can be scripted to launch compilers, linters, or runners as part of your workflow. By reducing context switches to external terminals, it tightens the edit-run-inspect loop.
