vim-ipython-ide

Plugin to work with iPython inside of VIM. You need VIM compiled with terminal support for this.

This plugin allows you to send snippets of code to a terminal pane in VIM. By default it adds escape sequences to the code to make iPython accept it as one block (normally, a newline would trigger a return, very annoying if you want to paste, say, a for block).

Usage

First, you need to tell the plugin which buffer to send the code to. This is done by storing the buffer nr in the variable g:vide_main_buf. The plugin provides to ways of setting this variable. Either run <leader>dc, which creates a new terminal and sets it as the recipient termina. The second option is to execute <leader>dm in an exising terminal, which sets that terminal as the recipient.

From that point you can send lines of code to the terminal by visually selecting it and pressing <leader>dp. You can quickly move to the currently defined recipient terminal by pressing <leader>df.
