A Vim plugin that opens an interactive terminal in a buffer for running programs

vim-terminal is a Vim plugin which allows you to run interactive programs, such as bash on Linux or powershell.exe on Windows, inside a Vim buffer. In other words, it is a terminal emulator which uses a Vim buffer to display the program output.

vim-terminal

Usage

Type :Terminal to run your command in vim, for example:

:Terminal bash
:Terminal mysql -h localhost -u joe -p sock_collection
:Terminal Powershell.exe
:Terminal C:\Python27\python.exe

To open Terminal in a new horizontal or vertical buffer use:

:TerminalSplit <command>
:TerminalVSplit <command>
:TerminalTab <command>

All text typed in insert mode will be sent to your shell. Use the key to send a visual selection from any buffer to the shell.

For more help type :help Terminal

How to set height of terminal split?

What should I put in my .vimrc to set the default height on a :TerminalSplit bash split?

And how could I set the height of a split on the fly?

I'm a bit confused looking at the documentation.

Edit: It would also be good to know how to have the :TerminalSplit bash in the same directory as the file in the main buffer (saves having to cd, especially in long paths). Not sure if this is possible...
