Issue with vim opening vifm selection during VimEnter & BufEnter

Question

Having this weird issue when using vifm as browser (replacing netrw, g:vifm_replace_netrw = 1). This only happens during VimEnter or BufEnter.

I am using a VTE based wayland native teminal called tym

Answer 1

You mean that the screen isn't restored? It sounds like this issue.

I have let g:vifm_embed_term = 1 enabled and with it nothing is even opened, Ctrl-C saves the day in this case.

I'm inclined to believe Vim doesn't handle such things well in startup. Maybe postponing processing via a timer can be a workaround as it is in some other cases.

BufEnter doesn't seem to be involved, in the last part of the screencast you're running vim . as well which defines the outcome.

Thanks for answering. I am late to reply becaz I was travelling a bit.

Assuming it's a vim issue, I will try to look into netrw and some other similar plugins and try to adjust the code and see if it can be solved.

I think netrw isn't relevant because it doesn't launch an external application which reconfigures terminal.
