# vimux
Easily interact with tmux from vim. This project is still in development so some features are still missing.
## Installation
With **[vim-bundle](https://github.com/benmills/vim-bundle)**: `vim-bundle install benmills/vimux`
Otherwise download the latest [tarball](https://github.com/benmills/vimux/tarball/master), extract it and move `plugin/vimux.vim` inside `~/.vim/plugin`. If you're using [pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) than move the entire folder extracted from the tarball into `~/.vim/bundle`.
## Usage
### RunVimTmuxCommand
Run a system command in a small horizontal split bellow the current pane vim is in.
*Example:*
```viml
" Run the current file with rspec
map <Leader>rb :call RunVimTmuxCommand("clear && rspec " . bufname("%"))<CR>
```
### PromptVimTmuxCommand
Prompt for a command and run it in a small horizontal split bellow the current pane.
*Example:*
```viml
" Prompt for a command to run
map <Leader>rp :PromptVimTmuxCommand<CR>
```
### RunLastVimTmuxCommand
Run the last command executed by `RunVimTmuxCommand`
*Example:*
```viml
" Run last command executed by RunVimTmuxCommand
map <Leader>rl :call RunLastVimTmuxCommand<CR>
```
### InspectVimTmuxRunner
Move into the tmux runner pane created by `RunVimTmuxCommand` and enter copy mode (scroll mode).
*Example:*
```viml
" Inspect runner pane
map <Leader>ri :InspectVimTmuxRunner<CR>
```
### CloseVimTmuxWindows
Close all other tmux panes in the current window.
*Example:*
```viml
" Close all other tmux panes in current window
map <Leader>rx :CloseVimTmuxWindows<CR>
```
### Full Example Code
```viml
" Run the current file with rspec
map <Leader>rb :call RunVimTmuxCommand("clear && rspec " . bufname("%"))<CR>
" Prompt for a command to run
map <Leader>rp :PromptVimTmuxCommand<CR>
" Run last command executed by RunVimTmuxCommand
map <Leader>rl :call RunLastVimTmuxCommand<CR>
" Inspect runner pane
map <Leader>ri :InspectVimTmuxRunner<CR>
" Close all other tmux panes in current window
map <Leader>rx :CloseVimTmuxWindows<CR>
```
## Options
### VimuxHeight
Set the percent height of the runner pane opened by `RunVimTmuxCommand`.
**Default: `"20"`**
```viml
let VimuxHeight = "50"
```
## Todo
The features I would like to add in the near future.
* Add the ability to target any tmux session, window and pane
* Implment an interupt command that stops the currently running command
