This plugin is a repackaging of Mislav Marohnić's tmux-navigator configuration described in this gist. Please note that this plugin only captures the Vim specific configuration. In order to get the full functionality, there is a script file and a set of tmux mappings that are needed. Please see the previously mentioned gist for additional instructions.

This plugin, when used in conjunction with the other scripts listed in the gist referenced above, will allow for seamless navigation between Vim splits and tmux panes. By default it provides the following mappings:

• <ctrl-h> => Left
• <ctrl-j> => Down
• <ctrl-k> => Up
• <ctrl-l> => Right

If you don't want the plugin to create any mappings, you can use the four provided functions to define your own custom maps. Add the following to your vimrc to use custom maps:

let g:tmux_navigator_no_mappings = 1

nmap <silent> {Left-mapping} :TmuxNavigateLeft<cr>
nmap <silent> {Down-Mapping} :TmuxNavigateDown<cr>
nmap <silent> {Up-Mapping} :TmuxNavigateUp<cr>
nmap <silent> {Right-Mapping} :TmuxNavigateRight<cr>

Note Each instance of {Left-Mapping} or {Down-Mapping} must be replaced in the above code with the desired mapping. Ie, the mapping for <ctrl-h> => Left would be created with nmap <silent> <c-h> :TmuxNavigateLeft<cr>.

The main goal of this repo is to wrap Mislav's original plugin for easy installation using Pathogen, Vundle, or similar plugin management option to add it to Vim's runtime path.

For Vundle, add the following line to your vimrc:

Bundle 'christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator'

Then from within Vim run the :BundleInstall command and Vundle will take care of the rest.

For Pathogen, run the following commands in your shell:

cd ~/.vim
mkdir -p bundle # creates bundle directory if it doesn't exist
cd bundles
git clone https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator.git
