Floating windows for terminals, man pages and help buffers.
haunt (noun): a place frequented by a specified person or group of people
This NeoVim plugin, written in Lua, offers alternative
commands to open embedded terminals, man pages and help buffers in floating
windows. Existing terminal buffers can also be opened in the floating window.
Commands like :bnext, :bprevious, :b# etc. are suppressed in this window.
Install the plugin using your preferred plugin manager. Alternatively, NeoVim can load packages if they are added to your 'packpath'.
Available commands and options are described in :help haunt.
Please send patches/queries to my public inbox.
