Before:

After running some git commands with fugitive, the cursor is placed at the end, for e.g:

...
[Process Exited 0]_

and I just need to press enter to back to the previous buffer.

Now:

If I do the same, the cursor is placed at the beginning and I have to type :bd(!) to close that buffer.

What caused this? How to back to previous behaviour?

init.vim:

set backup
let day = strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
let user = substitute(system('whoami'), '\n', '', '')
if user == 'root'
    let backupdir = "/var/root/.vim/backup/".day
else
    let backupdir = $HOME."/.vim/backup/".day
endif
silent! let xyz = mkdir(backupdir, "p")
let cmd = "set backupdir=".backupdir
execute cmd
let time = strftime(".%H:%M:%S")
let cmd = "set backupext=".time
execute cmd

let g:solarized_termcolors = 256

  • Please also include your init.vim i.e. your Neovim configuration file. Mar 13, 2018 at 9:20
  • @Ashok I updated the original question.

  • Actually i think it would be more useful to pare down to the smallest vimrc that reproduces this behavior, and more importantly to expand on the exact steps in order to reproduce the behavior

I ran into a similar (the same?) issue on two different installs:

  • NVIM v0.2.0
  • NVIM v0.3.1

As quanta already mentions this change in behavior might be due to the changes introduced in NVIM v0.2.1.

I have a shortcut for running things from within nvim, that splits the window, launches the terminal emulator in the new split view and executes there. After execution had completed in the terminal I used to be able to hit any key to close the terminal & split view and return to the original buffer, i.e.:

map <Leader>p :w<CR>:split \| terminal python %<CR>

...and this is still the case with the NVIM v0.2.0 install I refer to above but just pressing a key to close and return does not work any more on the v0.3.1 install.

What fixed this for me was to append a :startinsert command to the end of the key binding macro:

map <Leader>p :w<CR>:split \| terminal python %<CR>:startinsert<CR>

That puts the cursor into insert mode on the terminal view and closes it on key press right away - seems to do the trick!

From version 0.2.1, :terminal now starts in normal mode instead of terminal mode: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Following-HEAD#20170821

Btw, don't know why this does not enter Terminal mode automatically:

autocmd BufEnter term://* startinsert
autocmd BufLeave term://* stopinsert

I have to use:

autocmd TermOpen * startinsert
