neoterm

Using neovim + https://github.com/kassio/neoterm I have a similar, possibly simpler, workflow that doesn't require any other program (especially listening willy nilly with no authentication/authorization whatsoever) other than your normal SQL client running: - I open a :Term window, in which I run the sql client (i.e. ":Texec sqlite\ foo.sqlite" or ":Texec mysql\ foo", etc) - From there, I can run whatever SQL command normally. If I'm then in another buffer, and assuming there's only one :Term open, I can: - visually select something, and :TREPLSendSelection to have it sent to the terminal along with a newline, thus executed (i.e. type ".schema" on one line, V then :TREPLSendSelection, ENTER, done - it gets executed in the terminal and the output shown) or "vap" to select a full paragraph and :TREPLSendSelection to send it all, for multi-

Having gone from a stock vim to a highly modified vim and back again, here are some plugins that I find really boost my productivity: - neoterm, for opening a REPL in a split buffer and quickly sending chunks of lines to the REPL (https://github.com/kassio/neoterm) - fzf for faster buffer and file navigation (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim) - vim fugitive for good git integration (https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive) - some other tpope plugins (surround, unimpared, commentary, vinegar)

I've actually started using neovim as a default terminal paired with my standard shell. I personally never got that used to the commands for tmux or screen, and with neovim I get the exact commands I am expected as well as -send line to REPL- with https://github.com/kassio/neoterm
