I have a script that writes output to a text file which I have open in a split side-by-side my code.
If I use :! python %
it will close the window to display the terminal, show the script's terminal output and ask me to press enter to get back to my editor screen.
Since all I care about can be seen in the text file I already have open, I want to be able to just run the script and have no disruptions on screen. Alternatively, is it possible to have a 'mini-terminal' open as a split so that I can see the output of the script if need be?
