video demos

session switching:

CLI + functionalities inside vim:

try it with docker

Build (will take a few minutes) and then run demo container:

bash docker run -it $(docker build -q docker)

install

An example of actual installation/customization can be found in Dockerfile.

You will need rust and cargo installed.

Then install the following vim plugin, with a hook to install vmux crate:

vimscript Plug 'yazgoo/vmux', {'do': 'cargo install vmux' }

Then add the following to your .zshrc or .bashrc

bash source ~/.config/nvim/plugged/vmux/plugin/setup_vmux.sh

Or if you want to use vim instead of nvim (you need vim compiled with +clientserver flag) :

bash source ~/.config/nvim/plugged/vmux/plugin/setup_vmux.sh vim

usage

Run vmux for vmux command usage help Run :help vmux from within vim for more in depth help.

detaching

You can detach from the session with ^g

After detaching / or quitting vim, you will be prompted to:

switch session
create a new session
exit

customizing

session name

You can define a custom way to setup a new session via ~/.config/vmux/hooks/session_name.sh The script just needs to print environment variables of the form (env command will do that):

key=value

it takes the session name as argument.

For example, this script will print the content of envrc and set working directory to ~/dev/$1 (via PWD line)

see docker for an example.

list sessions names

You can define a list of new session names via ~/.config/vmux/hooks/list_sessions_names.sh The script just needs to output session names one by line.

see docker for an example.

wallpaper

You can put images which will be used as wallpapers inside ~/.config/vmux/wallpapers/.

extra: tabbar

Having a nice tabbar (based on Caagr98/c98tabbar.vim):

vimscript Plug 'git@github.com:yazgoo/c98tabbar.vim' Plug 'yazgoo/vmux-c98tabbar'

Leave terminal insert mode by typing escap twice: vimscript tnoremap <Esc><Esc> <C-\><C-n>
