How is moving between an editor and terminal splits any less effort than moving between separate editor and terminal apps? They both require either one keyboard shortcut or one click to go between? What’s the difference?
- adenozine 6y agoI lose my focus moving between two windows, and I'm always moving around, so I only ever have a laptop screen and not double monitors. I use VSCode very happily after using Gedit for many years, and it's just the layout I'm attached to, I suppose.

The important thing is to set the desktops to be static (disable the “smart” rearranging) and set the windows to always open in the same desktop. This makes my experience on a 16” screen so great that I have a hard time adjusting to using two monitors.
- lenkite 6y agoIn neovim, you can see your terminal at the same time that you are editing code, thanks to window splits. Pretty convenient actually. You can split that terminal into another terminal window too. Good when you are editing the program, running the program and tailing the log of the program - all simultaneously.
