# vim-it2-touchbar
Adds (experimental) iTerm2 Mac touchbar support to `vim` and `neovim`.
**This uses a feature exclusive to [iTerm2](https://iterm2.com/). It will not work with the Apple Terminal.app.**
## Installation
Just install this plugin with your favorite Vim plugin manager!
```
eth-p/vim-it2-touchbar
```
## Setup
Using the touch bar should be pretty simple.
Just add the following to your `.vimrc`/`init.vim`:
```vim
function TouchBar()
TouchBarLabel F1 "label here"
" Add remappings here if necessary.
endfunction
```
Whenever vim is opened/closed/suspended/resumed, it will set or restore the touch bar accordingly.
## It doesn't work/it's slow!
To be fair, it's experimental *and* a bit of a hack. Vim doesn't offer any streamlined way to write to the user's tty, and some tricks had to be utilized.
