vimux

Easily interact with tmux from vim. This project is still in development so some features are still missing.

Installation

With vim-bundle: vim-bundle install benmills/vimux

Otherwise download the latest tarball, extract it and move plugin/vimux.vim inside ~/.vim/plugin. If you're using 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.

" 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.

" Prompt for a command to run
map <Leader>rp :PromptVimTmuxCommand<CR>

RunLastVimTmuxCommand

Run the last command executed by RunVimTmuxCommand

" 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).

" Inspect runner pane
map <Leader>ri :InspectVimTmuxRunner<CR>

CloseVimTmuxWindows
