vim-tmux-navigator VS nvim-tmux-navigation

I'm a tmux migrant and wanted functionality similar to tmux-navigator for vim. In short, it lets me bind the same key combination to change vim splits and tmux scripts that either switch panes or forward the input to the vim plugin that does one of the other. Say you have an empty pane, a pane with vim with two splits and a third pane pane all in a line. The first time the user wants to move focus, vim is not running so the script simply moves focus in tmux. The scond time the user presses the bind, it's passed to vim and the vim plugin sees you have a split to move to so you move focus between splits. The third press the plugin realizes that there are no more panes, so it moves you to the final tmux pane.

There's also a vim plugin that applies the same idea but with vim windows and tmux panes: https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator.

Since you're using Tmux check out vim-tmux-navigator which allows for seamless navigation between tmux and (neo)vim panes.

For example, the killer plugin in tmux for me would be vim-tmux-navigator which allows you to switch seemlessly between Vim and tmux. The reason why you would want this is because tmux is a better option than using Vim's built-in terminal.

With https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator I don't see the need to use Neovim's terminal. Neovim's terminal somehow seems slower and my terminal keybindings didn't quite work.

Hi, I just installed lazyvim yesterday and want to install the following plugin vim-tmux navigator in lazyvim. I am new to neovim. Any guidance would be very helpful. Thanks.

Might I suggest tmux? You'd get all you needed and there is a nice plugin https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator that lets you set up a single layer of movement keys (i use ctrl-h/j/k/l) to move around between both nvim splits and tmux splits.

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.

Use tmux for terminal management. I honestly held out for a while, but eventually bit the bullet and it’s so nice, I’d never go back. Especially with https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator

I am trying to install the plugin https://github.com/alexghergh/nvim-tmux-navigation so I can easily switch between Tmux panes and Neovim panes. I am using the default lazyvim installation plus the additions I have mentioned https://www.lazyvim.org/installation

They work with tmux too! Normally I'd use https://github.com/alexghergh/nvim-tmux-navigation but it works without that.

Huh, conflicting statements. I suspect it's a typo. https://github.com/alexghergh/nvim-tmux-navigation/issues probably the place to ask.

So I've been trying to set up this plugin and of the lines I have to add is, i believe, written in vimscript:
