Question: How to toggle view with all the terminals? about toggleterm.nvim HOT 4 CLOSED

@LoydAndrew that's a cool idea tbh I hadn't really considered it ever. There isn't really a way to do that currently but I like the idea. I think a reverse command would be good as well i.e. toggle all with none open opens all the previously opened and then using that again toggles them all.

It wouldn't be too hard to implement basically could add a check for the all argument to the toggle term commannd and then loop through all terminals and call toggle. I guess the potentially weird edge case would be if one terminal was open and you hit TermToggle all should that open the rest or close the open one.

Maybe in that case it should work more explicitly ToggleTermCloseAll or ToggleTermOpenAll and then it can be explicitly mapped to opening any that aren't open or just closing them all.

Anyway I'd be happy to help direct a PR for this, most of the logic to do this is already there just needs commands defined and cobble thing together

" in toggleterm.vim
command! ToggleTermCloseAll lua require('toggleterm').toggle_all('close')
command! ToggleTermOpenAll lua require('toggleterm').toggle_all('open')

Then in toggleterm.lua

function M.toggle_all(command)
  for _, term in get_all() then
    if direction == "close" then
      term:close()
    else
      if not term:is_open() then
       term:toggle()
      end
    end
  end
end

@LoydAndrew it was pretty straightforward to do i.e. more or less exactly what I had above so I just did it in my lunch break. Can you test it out and see if it works

@akinsho
Thanks, great and quick work. I guess the only problem is to have 2 explicit commands rather then one toggle, but I can live with that. Again, very appreciate it.

@LoydAndrew if you had only one command and had 1 window open it's not clear how it should work. Should it close that window or open other windows you previously toggled 🤷🏾‍♂️ I'm definitely open to a PR to fix it though but I probably won't spend more time on it myself, this isn't really a workflow I use
