So it's been a long, long, long time since I posted—but I've not been idle! On the contrary, I've been trying all kinds of new things. And yesterday, I discovered that Vim 8.1 has a terminal!
This is a game-changer! Not only is the terminal there, it seems fully functional and very responsive. I like it better than my terminal emulator on OS X.
Furthermore, it works with my currently-existing customized setup seemingly flawlessly. I use cmus to play music files in the background while I work, and I use Karabiner to map my multimedia keys to cmus' controls. Until now, this meant having the terminal open in the background while working.
Now I can open the terminal in MacVim, open tmux (yes, it works with tmux), open cmus, and use my usual key controls without any fiddling.
Did I mention that it automatically makes use of my shell preferences (customized zsh)?
Kudos to the Vim team for pulling this off!
