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'

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.
