  • using nvim + tmux

    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.
