What is iron.nvim

Iron is both a plugin and a library to allow users to deal with repls.

It keeps mechanisms to track REPLs for different file types and bindings to send data directly from the current buffer to it.

It is build on top of neovims terminal feature. The default terminal keybindings are kept for the terminal, meaning that to exit the insert mode, you need to use <C-\><C-N>.

How to configure

Create a lua configuration file on your ~/.config/nvim folder (for example named plugins.lua) like this:

local iron = require('iron')

iron.core.add_repl_definitions {
  python = {
    mycustom = {
      command = {"mycmd"}
    }
  },
  clojure = {
    lein_connect = {
      command = {"lein", "repl", ":connect"}
    }
  }
}

iron.core.set_config {
  preferred = {
    python = "ipython",
    clojure = "lein"
  }
}

And on your init.vim, simply do the following:

luafile $HOME/.config/nvim/plugins.lua

Important notice

The python remote plugin mechanism was dropped and removed from master. The latest commit containing it was ead377f.

If you want to use that instead, please for the repository or use the stale branch legacy for that.
