## What it is
A terminal manager plugin for Vim and Neovim that runs terminal instances in floating/popup windows. It supports managing multiple terminals, switching between them, and integrating with fuzzy finders and task runner plugins.

## Use cases
- open a terminal in a floating window inside vim
- manage multiple terminal buffers in neovim
- toggle a popup terminal over my editor
- run cli tools like ranger or fzf inside vim
- use vim as a task runner with floating terminals
- switch between terminal instances with a fuzzy finder

## When to choose
- you live in Vim/Neovim and want quick, toggleable terminal windows
- you need multiple terminal instances with easy navigation
- you want terminal integration with fuzzy finders or asynctasks.vim

## When to avoid
- you use an editor without terminal support
- you need to run long-running jobs that would slow the builtin terminal
- you prefer an external terminal multiplexer like tmux
