Obsoleted

This plugin is obsoleted, because latest asyncrun has included these runners below, and no reason to maintain this project any more.

User should use asyncrun directly.

What is it ?

Extra runners for asyncrun to run your command in gnome-terminal, tmux, floaterm and more:

Runner	Description
gnome	run command in a new gnome-terminal window
gnome-tab	run command in a new gnome-terminal tab
xterm	run command in a new xterm window
external	run command in cmd.exe / gnome-terminal / xterm if possible
floaterm	run command in a floaterm window
floaterm-reuse	run command in a reusable floaterm window
tmux	run command in another tmux pane
termhelp	run command in the terminal_help window
