Hide REPL buffer without killing REPL #193

Open arnm opened 7 years ago

arnm commented 7 years ago

I saw you do this in a youtube video but I haven't been able to figure it out (atom noob). How can I close the REPL buffer without killing the REPL session and easily open up the buffer again? Seems like Atom completely kills the buffer when they are closed, unlike Emacs.

@arnm go to proto-repl settings and disable the open repl in right pane option. The repl should then open in the same pane as your currect code, thus you can safely ignore it. The repl tab must be kept open though otherwise proto-repl just kills the connection

I think it would be worthwhile to offer the ability to close the REPL while leaving the connection open. There would have to be another indication that the REPL is running though, probably in the status bar.

For the rest of the beginners the repl is just another tab and even if it's opened to the right in a split tab you can move it in between the tabs on the left side. The repl tab just need to be open somewhere.

@jasongilman the way that Lighttable currently handles this scenario is by providing a "connections" pane. Just an idea ;)
