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.

I have already tried all solutions that can be found in the official GitHub thread . Any help will be much appreciated.

Install the plugin manager: git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm

You'll probably want to use Tmux Plugin Manager (TPM) to manage your tmux plugins and maybe some other goodies from the tmux-plugins repo.

here's some doc: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm

########################################################################## # TMUX plugin manager - This must run last ################################################################################ # Check to see if tmux is installed, if not clone the repo. This assumes Git is # installed. if "test ! -d ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm" \ "run 'git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm && ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/bin/install_plugins'" # Run the plugin manager run -b '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

Am i the only one who feels fish is not worth it despite of hype? Don't get me wrong. I think that fish is really good shell.

BUT...

After adding the following plugins to zsh(before you chime in, it's just adding these lines,not anything configuring much. also it auto bootstraps on new install), I found out that fish is no where near configured zsh.

1) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit (plugin manager)

2) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin...

3) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-wo...

4) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

5) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions

6) https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab

7) any good shell prompt generator like https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

For example, I use fzf integration for tab completion. Fish's fzf integration is nowhere as good as that of zsh's. Also, posix compat and almost bash compat of zsh is plus.

I acknowledge that zsh isn't perfect shell either and I have tried and failed few times in past to switch to fish. If you provide me compelling reason/s to switch to fish, I am all ears.

Seriously, see https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab/pull/132.

Basically I want one that works like fzf-tab, but instead of using fzf I want dmenu, I asked chatGPT to make one (I'm aware of how pathetic this sounds...) but it didn't work the way I expected

You might have better luck with finding the answer if you file an issue at https://github.com/lincheney/fzf-tab-completion. Few here are using https://github.com/lincheney/fzf-tab-completion (https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab is a much more popular alternative among zsh users).

Here is another great plugin that pairs nicely with the above.

https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab

Yeah it's just the prefect tool for speeding up so many things in the command line. I even have Fzf pop up for tab completion with fzf-tab.

There's a popular autosuggestion extension (https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions) which puts dimmed suggestions from the command history in front of the cursor. I use & like it a lot -- however it doesn't do command descriptions as in your sample picture. fzf-tab does something similar, though (https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab); I find it very useful likewise.

Just want to make sure: Have you looked into fzf-tab before starting to implement this?
