extrakto VS vim-tmux-navigator

For me personally tmux giver minor improvements (some of them are done by some terminals, some are not), e.g.:

* Text selection using variuos shortcuts (usually I use it only for URL):

* FZF autocompletion from output, e.g. in case I want to diff some file I see changed in `git status`:

In Linux I use tmux with the extrakto plugin to conveniently re-type or copy-to-clipboard text that was outputted by a previous command.

For me, tmux is the terminal/workspace manager, nvim is the editor. If I want to work on a different repo/workspace, I open a new tmux window and open a new nvim in that window. If I need to do stuff on the terminal, opening a new tmux pane feels more natural than opening a new nvim split with a terminal. Also this tmux plugin is great: https://github.com/laktak/extrakto

extrakto - let's you do a fuzzy search across all the words/lines/extracted objects/etc in your pane or window and put it in current command

A tmux plugin that I use all the time is extrakto: https://github.com/laktak/extrakto

My favorite is extracto that helps to extract text segments on display so that you don't have to use mouse

Only glanced at it but didn't see it mention 'V' which selects rows rather than characters. Which can be quite useful.

There are also tmux plugins to make some operations smoother.

Like keyboard driven browsers uses hints, so file paths, git SHAs etc. are highlighted using a small hint and if you press it it is copied.

Fuzzy search in current pane to insert/copy things of interest.

I'm a tmux migrant and wanted functionality similar to tmux-navigator for vim. In short, it lets me bind the same key combination to change vim splits and tmux scripts that either switch panes or forward the input to the vim plugin that does one of the other. Say you have an empty pane, a pane with vim with two splits and a third pane pane all in a line. The first time the user wants to move focus, vim is not running so the script simply moves focus in tmux. The scond time the user presses the bind, it's passed to vim and the vim plugin sees you have a split to move to so you move focus between splits. The third press the plugin realizes that there are no more panes, so it moves you to the final tmux pane.

There's also a vim plugin that applies the same idea but with vim windows and tmux panes: https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator.

Since you're using Tmux check out vim-tmux-navigator which allows for seamless navigation between tmux and (neo)vim panes.

For example, the killer plugin in tmux for me would be vim-tmux-navigator which allows you to switch seemlessly between Vim and tmux. The reason why you would want this is because tmux is a better option than using Vim's built-in terminal.

With https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator I don't see the need to use Neovim's terminal. Neovim's terminal somehow seems slower and my terminal keybindings didn't quite work.

Hi, I just installed lazyvim yesterday and want to install the following plugin vim-tmux navigator in lazyvim. I am new to neovim. Any guidance would be very helpful. Thanks.

Might I suggest tmux? You'd get all you needed and there is a nice plugin https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator that lets you set up a single layer of movement keys (i use ctrl-h/j/k/l) to move around between both nvim splits and tmux splits.

To begin, you should check out tmux plugins manger/tpm, which will feel pretty familiar if you're used to working with nvim plugins. Once you have that up and running you can plug vim-tmux-navigator, which allows you to move smoothly through tmux and nvim panes using ctrl-h/j/k/l. There are various other tmux plugins that are super-useful for customizing your tmux workspace.

Use tmux for terminal management. I honestly held out for a while, but eventually bit the bullet and it’s so nice, I’d never go back. Especially with https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator
