INTRODUCTION

Channelot is a library plugin for operating Neovim jobs from a Lua coroutine. It supports:

• Starting jobs, with and without terminals.
• Starting multiple jobs on the same Neovim terminal.
• Job control is done via Lua coroutines - Channelot will resume the coroutine once the job is finished and/or when it outputs new data.

Channelot was created as a supplemental plugin for Moonicipal, but can be used independent of it.

For a more through explanation, please to this section in a blog post about Moonicipal: https://dev.to/idanarye/moonicipal-explained-4h02#cached-buffers-and-channelot-terminals

• Run jobs in automatic terminal, manually managed terminal, or no terminal.
