VtrSendCommandToRunner requires bang to open a runner

[anhari]

Hey Chris, I was trying to use VtrSendCommandToRunner in some leader keys to open rails console, run migrations, etc., but I think only the bang version of this command will open/attach a runner if one doesn't exist.

I can push a PR with an updated readme/help file if needed, but I'm not sure if this is working as intended.

I'm using neovim v0.2.0.

Hi @anhari, this is working as intended, although not as documented. The workflow as I've designed it is any of:

• VtrOpenRunner to explicitly open and attach to a runner, then VtrSendCommandToRunner to send
• VtrAttachRunner to attach to an existing pane, then VtrSendCommandToRunner to send
• VtrSendCommandToRunner! to send (creating a pane as neccesary).

I prefer the explicit workflow and pane creation / attachment, and thus VtrSendCommandToRunner behaves the way it does, but VtrSendCommandToRunner! was introduced to handle the case of wanting a runner to be created.

I'll keep this issue open as a reminder to myself to update the docs to match the above.

Please update the documentation as soon as possible. I was searching for quite some time now to understand why the command wasn't running. The bang requirement is nowhere documentation, as far as I saw.
