Neoterm clashes with inccommand=split

[joereynolds]

Ubuntu 16.04

To Reproduce

• Make sure you have the following line in your init.vim

  set inccommand=split

• Create a test file

  echo "This is a test file for inccommand to test." > neoterm.bug

• Open it up (nvim neoterm.bug) and start Neoterm :T ls

Now try and do a live substitution

:%s/test/test/g

You will see that substitutions flicker and fight against Neoterm's terminal.

If you close Neoterm's terminal and try the substitution again, it will not flicker.

Isn't this a nvim bug? What's neoterm to do with it?

[joereynolds]

Well this bug only happens if a neoterm split is open (a normal :term is fine) so I assumed it was a neoterm bug. Happy to have it closed if that's the case though?

I tried locally and wasn't able to replicate it in my macos with iterm2.

1. Can you try with a minimal init.vim, like this:

   set runtimepath-=~/.config/nvim
   set runtimepath-=~/.config/nvim/after
   set runtimepath+=~/.config/nvim/pack/minpac/start/neoterm " use your path here.
   set inccommand=split

2. Can you give more information about the env, like neoterm version and neovim version please?

My test:

Interesting, it doesn't do it on my laptop at home either (Xubuntu) with the same init.vim. I'll try with a minimal setup tomorrow, thanks for the patience!

@joereynolds Flicker can sometimes be related to $TERM. Make sure $TERM matches your real terminal, see :h $TERM.

[joereynolds]

Hmmm, $TERM is set to xterm-256color (I'm using GNOME terminal). If I use another terminal (xterm for example) it all works fine. There is nothing in my .bashrc, .profile, or init.vim that manipulates $TERM

Here's a gif of the issue

I've tried with a minimal init.vim consisting of

set runtimepath-=~/.config/nvim
set runtimepath-=~/.config/nvim/after
set runtimepath+=~/.config/nvim/plugged/neoterm/
set inccommand=split

It could be a conflict with another plugin, I'll try and narrow it down.

Please read :h $TERM
