Hey guys! In this video I go through everything I do to setup Tmux and how I use it on the terminal to create a truly awesome development workflow alongside the Neovim text editor. This video is part of a series I've been doing on my terminal setup and my software development workflow. Tmux is the final ingredient that brings everything together for an awesome experience writing code on the terminal. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Hey guys! I wanted to clarify that whenever you type out the prefix, in this case “Ctrl+a” as I’ve configured it, make sure you press these two keys at the same time, release them, and then type the tmux specific command to execute. Also, if you'd like to use "hjkl" to resize panes but only be able to tap these keys once, remove the "-r" option for each of these binds in ".tmux.conf". Finally, if you’d like to save your sessions manually with tmux-resurrect, you can use “prefix + Ctrl-s” to save and “prefix + Ctrl-r” to restore. Hope you enjoyed the video!

Can you create an intro about how to use DAP for debugging in neovim?

@Microphunktv-jb3kj Год назад

what split keyboard do u have ? :d

@reedamranjan6367 10 месяцев назад

Bro all the neovim commands dont work in the tmux sessions , how to fix that ? for example if we try to move in the recommendations using ctrl + j/k we cannot do that , also if we try to create a new split in neovim along with tmux we can navigate to only one window of the neovim and not the other one

Yup, I am into this customization series from the very beginning. Tmux was just new topic for me. I installed the package may be just week earlier as I required terminal tab features but hadn't touched much of it. The very thing of having to learn from zero was dragging me off. This is exactly the nugget I required to start my tmux journey. Thanks Josean. Will be waiting for next episode. Keep the good work up.

Another awesome video...thank you! I love tmux and am and old-school vi dev. Tmux is esp. great when working on multiple servers, where you can ssh into all of them and execute the same command simultaneously and see the results of each on one screen (synchronize on/off). Makes admin so much easier.

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for after switching to NeoVim as my daily driver. I've been using iTerm2's built in pane system, and while it gets the job done, it's much more clunky and isn't the smooth experience I was looking for. This is perfect! Thank you!

@Pscribbled Год назад

Very cool. I’ve always avoided tmux because I’ve always used it hard to do a copy past larger than a window to something outside of the termina since log diving is deep in my workflow. I’d opt to use screen only if I was in an ssh session that couldn’t tolerate unexpected disconnections. I’ll probably look deeper into your configs. Looks cool. One thing I didn’t like is how ctrl-d and ctrl-c looked to be rebound which is something I deeply disagree with but I can probably just keep those as the normal signals

I'm really liking Zellij (Tmux alternative) for this, you can write a temple file to configure panels and tabs. I also use a shell script to quickly open everything. Also the other advantage is plugins use wasm format, write in any language.

@maxietheboss Год назад

I don't usually comment on RU-vid but this series has been amazing! You explain the content in a very balanced manner, never going on a tangent or being too shallow. The quality is very high level. Will you also do a video on your keyboard? I presume it's a Corne keyboard, with QMK possibly? Would also love a video on that. @edit: aaaand just as I typed you went into the keyboard details. Definitely do a video on that as well! If you were a Linux user the next step would be tiling window managers 😉

@joseanmartinez Год назад

Hey! I really appreciate your feedback, means a lot! Really happy to hear you’ve enjoyed the series and have found it helpful! And yes! Excited to put a video together on the Corne. It’s actually a wireless board so it uses ZMK instead of QMK. I was using an Iris Rev4 before this one with QMK. And also who knows, maybe I’ll dive in to the Linux world sometime in the future. Have definitely considered it. For now I’ve stuck to my macbook because it works well for making videos and does most of the stuff I need. Thanks again!

Great job again Josean! Will be implementing a couple of your bindings too. Also I use "bind-key C-a last-window" for double tap prefix a too. Just started using my new Corne low profile. Love it, but bit of a learning curve for muscle memory. Keep up the great work :)

@joseanmartinez Год назад

That’s awesome! Thanks for your feedback I really appreciate it! When I first migrated to my first ergonomic split it took me at least a month to get used to it, but I haven’t looked back since! So cool you’re using a low profile Corne.

@ScottMackey Год назад

@@joseanmartinez 4 days in and keep forgetting layers for special characters. My typing speed has improved though😀 Also I’ve created a new NeuVim repo on GitHub pretty much your configs. I will continue to work on that over time too 👍

@joseanmartinez Год назад

@@ScottMackey Awesome! Stick too it! You’ll get used to it and it’s definitely a game changer. I did a lot of typing.io for practice when I was learning to use my first split keyboard with layers.

@whited250 Год назад

TYVM for this series, it has been quite helpful! I made myself a Kyria split ergo keyboard - very similar to the Corne, but with a few extra thumb keys. I have a modified Miryoku layout, and I find I need both hands to do a lot of things. This lead to looking for ways to avoid hand-transitions to the mouse, which brought me to the idea of Vim/tmux, and thus these videos. As an interesting aside, I also use a Colemak-DHm layout. This means that Vim's h-j-k-l is not home row, and is quite nonsensical. Instead, I have been using the arrow keys which I have mapped as a layer under my right side home row. At least with that, the motions stay similar.

@joseanmartinez Год назад

Awesome! Really cool stuff. That’s awesome you’re also using a custom split. I’ve considered changing from Qwerty but haven’t had the time to dive into that. Appreciate the feedback and happy to hear you’ve enjoyed the series!

@svampkorg Год назад

@grossclarence Год назад

@The-Bloke Год назад

Thanks for the video. One thing I've not really followed is what the main advantages are of using tmux versus just using iTerm2's built in window splitting? I've used tmux in the past when SSHing into remote servers, and there it's really valuable because you can start a session, run some long-running command, and then if you want/need to disconnect the SSH the command won't be affected. But on my local system I've not bothered trying it, because it's very easy to make iTerm2 splits using keyboard shortcuts, resize/move them, etc. And they are automatically remembered when I restart the computer. I guess the ability to use Vim shortcuts for copying text could be useful, but other than that what do you think is the main benefit of using tmux vs just using iTerm2's built in splits, tabs and windows?

@joseanmartinez Год назад

Hey! I really appreciate your feedback. Happy to hear you've enjoyed the series and found it helpful! I currently haven't added debugging to my neovim setup. I mostly use log statements to fix issues and if I ever do need to use a debugger I use some other tool. I am interested and do think I should add this into my neovim setup as it can be very useful, but have heard it can be a bit tricky. Once I do the proper amount of research and add it to my setup, I'll make sure to make a video on it too!

@mrnezbitt 8 месяцев назад

For those that might also have an issue with setting the bind key in the first instance of configuring tmux doing `tmux kill-server ` will kill all open sessions and then creating a new session will allow the key bind to work again. Edit: This is only true if you started a tmux session before creating the .tmux.conf file

It would be awesome if you could talk about the quality of self-build keyboards. Why you dont have a case for it, is it easy to break without a case? How the bluetooth feels, does it have downsides? (bad latency, connection issues) Does using a split keyboard ruin you movement with a normal keyboard? These are all questions which i could not find an answer to :D
