tmuxp VS vim-buftabline

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.

tmuxp v1.12.0, GitHub, Release notes, Docs

I use buftabline and treat them like tabs in a graphical editor.

You’re right, I essentially built my own plugin. And I know could use a plugin like vim-buftabline or vim-buffet to accomplish a similar look.

ap/vim-buftabline for buffer line

You can see your buffer list with :ls, :b (note the space), or with a plugin like vim-buftabline (ap/vim-buftabline: Forget Vim tabs – now you can have buffer tabs)

this and ctrl+p with https://github.com/ap/vim-buftabline

ap/vim-buftabline can display the buffer number which you can use in :bN commands, no idea if it works in neovim. But I most often use tab completion in a :b command.

It's also not a (super) new idea – my plugin is just a Lua ripoff of [vim-buftabline](https://github.com/ap/vim-buftabline), which had its first commit in 2014, and I think Airline may have had it before then.

I like to use Buftabline https://github.com/ap/vim-buftabline and set the next/prev tab to /

In this plugin wishlist thread, I mentioned how I'd like to see an implementation of vim-buftabline in Lua. -olivier directed me to his plugin, nvim-bufbar, and encouraged me to use it as a base.
