Vim-SEnter enables you to send text from nvim to REPLs or other places.
It has builtin support for
- Jupyter Console
- Jupyter Notebook (additional dependency needed)
- GHCi (stack ghci)
Other REPLs can be added, if you need nothing fancy, adding support for a new REPL is just a few lines of configuration.
Here is one workflow for Jupyter Console, other REPLs are similar, but may vary.
-
Open a buffer, say
/tmp/a.py, type some Python in it. -
Visually select the lines you want to send, and press
<Enter>to send it. Other sending methods, like<S-Enter>to send the current cell, (:help senter-cell), and sending by range are also supported. -
A
jupyter consolewill be automatically started in a vertical split and the text you just sent will be executed in it.
This plugin requires neovim and Python 3.6+. (Support for vim and Python 2 will not be added, support for 3 =< python < 3.6 can be easily added, the requirement of 3.6 comes from the use of f-string).
Just use your nvim's plugin manager to install it. For example, if you are using vim-plug:
Plug 'qwfy/vim-senter', { 'do': ':UpdateRemotePlugins' }
If you are using other plugin managers, don't forget to execute :UpdateRemotePlugins after installing this plugin.
The Jupyter Console works out of the box.
If you want to send to Jupyter Notebook, you also need to install
jupyter-nbportal,
the pika Python library (pip install pika will do),
and be sure to have a look at :help senter-jupyter-nbportal.
Guide for these can be found at :help senter.
First have a look at the senter-quick-start section, then head to a specific
transport and target, like senter-jupyter-console.
If your choice of targets doesn't have a builtin support, or you are not happy
with the builtin support for Jupyter Console or Jupyter Notebook, head to the
section senter-details and section senter-extend-example.
You may also want to consider the jpalardy/vim-slime, which is implemented in VimL. I used it for a few months, it supports more REPLs by default.
