Cookbook
The Cookbook is a discussion category for workflows and recipes — the layouts, keybinds, and scripts people actually run to get more out of Macterm. Anyone can post, and anyone can borrow.
Three to start with:
- Navigating
nvimand Macterm with the same keybinds — one ctrl+h/j/k/l chord moves between nvim's own splits while you're inside it and between Macterm's panes when you reach the edge. The vim-tmux-navigator experience, without tmux. - Driving an interactive program from a script — a pipe can't help you with a REPL or a paged diff, but
pane run,pane key, andpane dumpcan type into one and read what's on screen. - Giving a coding agent control of Macterm — a drop-in skill file that lets an agent run commands in panes and see what a full-screen program is displaying.
Post your own
Got a layout, keybind, shell integration, or script that earns its keep? Start a Cookbook topic. What makes a recipe easy for the next person to adopt:
- Lead with what it gets you — the annoyance it removes, before the config.
- Include the whole thing — the full layout YAML, keybind, or script, not a fragment to reassemble.
- Name the minimum version if it leans on something recent, and say which other tools need to be installed.
The Cookbook is for recipes. Bugs belong in Issues, questions in Q&A, and feature requests in Ideas.
