I assume Neovim users don't need to care about this thanks to in-built terminal and ability to split, resize and switch between them using standard vim key bindings.
I created this tool originally for people like us. It has lots and lots of extra features and functionality (eg. opening the current pane scrollback inside your default editor in-place).
Check it out if you like.
Wow, that was my favorite feature in dvtm. I'll definitely check it out because while I mostly just use terminal buffers in NeoVim I always get so annoyed that moving the cursor is only possible letter by letter with arrow keys, which is ironic because every bash terminal supports basic inline Vim navigation.
Little comment about the website: I think it would be better to show the content of the About page (or a summary) on the start page instead of just telling people to install a program they don't know anything about. "Terminal workspace with batteries included" can mean almost anything.
But for the Neovim users (including myself), this is handy if they would like to use other applications besides neovim while keeping their neovim session open.
It uses the (n)vim remote API with tmux to maintain a global (n)vim session and redirects files opened via `vmux` back to the global session and switches to the window in tmux that session is visible in.
Hints:
- use `pipx` [2] to install `vmux` to make it available globally so you don't need to mess around with virtual environments.
- just `alias nvim=vmux`, and use `command nvim` if you need the real thing.
- I set the following in my profile file:
export VMUX_EDITOR="nvim"
export VMUX_GLOBAL="true"
alias nvim=vmux
The ability to close terminal and reconnect to it later is a key defining reason I run ~90% of my neovim sessions inside of tmux.
