buftabline.nvim VS tmuxp

Unlisted buffers and buffers without filetypes aren't listed shown in the tabline (you can see the relevant code here). I find that as long as I stay on top of closing unused file buffers, I don't experience any LSP slowdown (but I also exit and reopen Neovim pretty regularly, so I can't say for sure).

Using tmux + tmuxp[1] you can load a pre-configured session and execute arbitrary shell commands for the session, window and pane. I use this to set up shells and editors in the correct dirs (and/or hosts), load lang environments, set env vars and source some zsh aliases and functions that I only want per project. The end result is that I can set up my dev environment (shells with different environments, neovim windows, test runner, various linters I don't wannt integrate into nvim) with a single "tmuxp load ".

As for apps: - I also use Zathura for PDFs, which is fine for me because it also has vim bindings, and I like the recolor feature. - I mostly use Alacritty + tmux for terminals, because I also use tmuxp. Although I run some quick commands in vterm. - I'm pretty happy with Firefox + Tridactyl as my main browser (by the way, I think Tridactyl is more powerful than Vimium). - My passwords are also stored in pass, which I access with pass.el and my password-store-ivy. The latter replicates some rofi script I used earlier. - I'm fine with dired for files and archives, but I run dired-do-compress or just enter tar / zip / ... commands in dired-do-async-shell-command. I don't work with that many archives anyway. - Honestly, I very rarely have to search for something across my entire machine (or home directory), and in such cases, I just run find :-) But I often use counsel-rg and deadgrep to fuzzy search across a given project.

Looks very simple I think I can do something based on ThePrimeagen's script that works for me, someone else also commented to tmuxp. It's probably better to look for solutions without having to do everything within neovim. Thanks

https://tmuxp.git-pull.com/ does the same thing, but I think it's smoother to work with. It does support freezing current panes. yaml config

Everything is configured with tmuxp and I can set the whole thing up with a single command.

https://github.com/tmux-python/tmuxp provides essential startup utility and scriptability.
