  • tmuxp

    🖥️ Session manager for tmux, build on libtmux.

  • https://github.com/tmux-python/tmuxp provides essential startup utility and scriptability.

  • nvim-ctrl

    Control neovim instances using the command line.

  • https://github.com/chmln/nvim-ctrl, since you're using LunarVim, looks handy (just found it yesterday) for cases where I've got multiple vim instances running in different windows and I want to quit them all, change background from daylight color to nighttime color, etc.

  • tmux-powerline

    ⚡️ A tmux plugin giving you a hackable status bar consisting of dynamic & beautiful looking powerline segments, written purely in bash.

  • When it comes to configuration I'd take the time to set up something like https://github.com/erikw/tmux-powerline since I feel that the default look in tmux is a bit hard to parse visually.
