Nvimux-Navigator

This plugin enables you to navigate navigate seamlessly between nvim and tmux. It is greatly inspired by Chris Tommey's vim-tmux-navigator.

Installation

Requirements

Nvimux requires that you have Neovim with Python3 support and libtmux:

pip install pynvim
pip install libtmux

Installation

You can then install it like your others Nvim plugins and run :UpdateRemotePlugins. You should restart Nvim after that.

Tmux

Please check Chris Tommey's vim-tmux-navigator and add his tmux snippet in your .tmux.conf

Usage

Functions

You can map the NvimuxNavigate(arg) function to your preferred keys, it works with or without tmux. The arg can be h, j, k, or l respectively for left, down, up and right.

Commands

Use these commands to manipulate your tmux panes directly from Nvim
