tmux VS LazyVim

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

I use Tmux. It's a terminal-agnostic multiplexer. Gives you persistence and automation superpowers.

Having a common set of tools already set up in different windows or sessions in Tmux or Zellij is obviously an option, but there is a subset of us ( 👋 ) that would rather just have fingertip access to our common tools inside of our editor.

Once you have your Mac or Linux machine ready, make sure to downlaod and install TMUX (Terminal Mulitplexer). A lot of our scripts are going to be running headless inside of a TMUX session as it's an incredibly clean way to manage and organise different workspaces simultaneously. A lot of our scripts will help us to interact with TMUX so don't worry if it looks a little intimidating at first. You can install TMUX using your package manager in the terminal, use whichever applies to you:

After having spent too much time trying to get the simple https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/ features into mainline tmux (last November https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/3753), maybe it'd be easier to jump ship as use zellij?

Could anyone offer recommendations on "riced" zellij configuations, or just a demo where it shows doing with (say charts of disk usage per folder), watching a movie with mpv + keeping a vim to type on?

Well, I now use tmux and tmuxinator. I have had many failed tmux attempts over the years, but I'm firmly bedded in now.

Which leads me to clipboards. Linux has two of them! Adding to the interest, I typically use Neovim remotely, via an SSH connection to a Tmux session. And on my Linux system, I use urxvt as my terminal program. All of these are very UNIX-y tools, and somehow they all need to play nicely together.

The downside of overmind is that it requires tmux, which is a terminal multiplexer tool. If you don't already use tmux, I'd say it's probably not worth learning it just for the purposes of using overmind. But if you're like me and already know/use tmux, this can be a great solution to pursue.

As a developer, the command line is one of the tools you will be using most frequently. It can be intimidating to venture into the world of CLI tooling but I can assure you it is one of the most rewarding experiences too. In this post I want to walk ya'll through my personal CLI setup. It is based on 3 technologies which I'll coin as the "Holy Trinity" of the command line: TMUX, ZSH, & Neovim.

Please take a look at this issue. The culprit is the path source of nvim-cmp.

I’m having trouble understanding the preffered file structure when using lazy. I have a setup that works currently and I used this guide but I believe that this configuration defeats the purpose of lazy-loading. I also tried moving all of the plugin configs to the /nvim/plugins folder but that didn’t work, I think because when using lazy you want lazy to handle the loading not RTP. I’ve taken a look at the lazyvim github but I’m a little bit overwhelmed. I don’t understand how their nvim/init.lua doesn’t point to anything with require. Here is my config. So I think that the mistake I’m making is loading all my plugins in a table that gets passed to lazyvim but then requiring configs from my init.lua, when all of that info should get passed directly to lazy vim via multiple lua tables?

Has presets for each default plugin module in LazyVim.

I have been looking at LazyNvim and LazyVim and I would like to do something similar to in particular LazyNvim's startup text. How do configurations like this create this startup text?

See this Lazyvim issue.

You can try to mimic how LazyVim loads alpha here https://github.com/LazyVim/LazyVim/blob/main/lua/lazyvim/plugins/ui.lua

As usual, I referred to how folke does stuff for inspiration, and I want to better understand what exactly is going with the Treesitter configuration in LazyVim.

LazyVim (This is a distro in the form of a plugin, imo beats astronvimm nvchad, lunarvim for that reason alone. Check out the plugins/extras/lang directory in there. Has setup for a few languages. You can see the list here. Just raise a request for JAVA and someone will have your back))

Anyways, although i have not used them, LazyVim and LunarVim comes highly recommended. You can try these and see what suits you .

Am I reading this correctly, in the LazyVim starter, this line reads as it's importing all the plugins from the remote GitHub project, is that correct?
