tmux.nvim VS dotfiles

I tried vim-tmux-navigator but I remember having some issues with it, I feel like tmux.nvim is a bit easier and simpler to work with.

There are many yank-related plugins. tmux.nvim synchronises registers with tmux so you can copy from tmux and paste to vim, and the other way around. yanky.nvim allows you to cycle through registers with and . which-key.nvim shows a preview of registers when you type ".

Check tmux.nvim

Late to the party, but https://github.com/aserowy/tmux.nvim convinced me to move away from Neovim's built in terminal. It allows you to jump seemlessly from neovim windows to tmux splits and back, and syncs the clipboard, and allows for easy window resizing.

Oh no, I wish you know this plugin before. It's working really well https://github.com/aserowy/tmux.nvim

Since you've said you like splits and use tmux ones but are interested in vim ones, I would suggest adding similar keybindings to both options and getting tmux.nvim which lets you move and resize both types of splits with the same shortcut (something like ctrl-h/j/k/l and alt-h/j/k/l)

aserowy/tmux.nvim

I suggest looking at https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim for your configuration starting point. https://github.com/LazyVim/LazyVim also provides cool preconfigured setup. You can take a look at my https://github.com/kiyoon/dotfiles to see how I configured. I didn't use any of the preconfigured ones.

0.4.3 is too old and yeah you should upgrade. Nothing will crash but first uninstall what you have. Appimage is just like a binary. You can download it and execute it directly. You should put nvim.appimage to somewhere in your path. I've also made a script to do this: script it will install both tmux and neovim the latest version to ~/.local/bin and if you set that to your $PATH environment variable then the installation is done

solution

I'm glad it helped :) I had to do this kind of thing a lot when I configure my neovim. For example, I wanted to use tmux.nvim to sync registers with tmux. I also wanted to use OSC52 so I can copy from remote server to the local computer's clipboard. I wanted to use yanky.nvim so I can cycle through registers when I paste. All of them are mapped to p key. The entire configuration is here

See my dotfiles for how I install the latest neovim, tmux, zsh, and other apps all locally. I also work remotely very often I managed to install everything without sudo.
