I think your best bet is to open a TTY manually when you detect that stdout is not a tty. You can use for example https://github.com/mattn/go-isatty to determine this. An `os.Open("/dev/tty")` might be enough, otherwise a package like https://github.com/mattn/go-tty shows some of the setup you might need to do. You then give this file as the stdout file descriptor to vim.
Clearly this only works on systems that have a /dev/tty, but you're already limited to system that have a vim so this might be fine. //jb > On 26 Aug 2017, at 07:58, juicemia <hugo.torres1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi everybody. > > I don't know if this question has been asked before, partially because I > don't really even know what to call what I'm trying to do. > > The best I can come up with is that I'm trying to do lazy redirection in bash > but I'm having some trouble. > > A concrete example should help explain: > > I have a Go program.
