Neotree opens file buffer in terminal window when terminal window focused

[airtonix]

Your favourite mouth breathing, mouse using frontend developer peasant here.

Not sure if this is a problem with neo-tree, neovim, or just that I'm a filthy frontend developer, but:

• be focused in a terminal window
• use the unclean dirty mouse to move hover over the neotree window 😄
• use the mouse to double click 😱 on a file
• see that your terminal window is now a confusing not-a-terminal-window 😭

Should this be some kind of :

• bug fix in neo-tree
• an autocmd that something something something sprinkle-vim-sorcery force open in non-terminal window?
• something else?

You finally convinced me to do something about this even though it doesn't matter to me one bit. I guess it's because your issue was entertaining and I just can't get enough of well placed emojis.

Anyhow, neo-tree will now avoid replacing certain buffers based on their filetypes. If you want to control which filetypes it will avoid, change this new config option:

require("neo-tree").setup({
  open_files_do_not_replace_filetypes = { "terminal", "trouble", "qf" }, -- when opening files, do not use windows containing these filetypes
})

Correction, now it will work, and the option has been renamed to:

require("neo-tree").setup({
  open_files_do_not_replace_types = { "terminal", "trouble", "qf" }, -- when opening files, do not use windows containing these filetypes or buftypes
})
