Feat: Pre start in background about fterm.nvim HOT 5 CLOSED

I am not familiar with this syntax fterm:open():close() but I tried this an works nicely:

augroup prestart_terminal
    au!
    au VimEnter * lua require('FTerm').open();require('FTerm').close(); 
augroup END

The reason is that I still use both Neovim and Vim.

...will definitely see flickers

I notice only one, that It stays on insert mode after Neovim starts. But can be a conflict with another plugin. I can live with that 😄

I would recommend to make your shell load faster using lazy load and such...

Yes, on Zsh I already using lazy load but my PowerShell still need some work.

Thanks for the help. I will close this issue, since can be solved with the previous config. I notice that you closed a little ago. Thanks @numToStr

You can add a VimEnter and use fterm:open():close() but you will definitely see flickers.

require('FTerm').open();require('FTerm').close();

A very nice workaround, thanks!

takes some seconds to be able to use

This is never the case for me. In fact, terminal buffer opens instantaneous, the slowness comes from the shell I suppose.

Would be nice a pre start feature, without to show a terminal, starting in background.

What does this actually mean?

Exactly. For me It takes some 5 seconds to start, since I have a huge amount of config on my terminal.

Something like a fast show/hide just when Neovim start. It's possible to simulate this behaviour with an autocmd on VimEnter that toggles FTerm.nvim, but this a bit of a workaround, no? 😄
