Show HN: tmux.nvim – turning Neovim into a terminal multiplexer

I currently use tmux and vim all day every day, including as my dev environment (if I&#x27;m not in a browser). Are there any advantages to this?<p>My initial thought is that having vim inside a terminal session is a better organization model than having a terminal session inside of a vim pane, but maybe that&#x27;s just because it&#x27;s how I&#x27;ve worked for 20 years so it&#x27;s what I&#x27;m used to.<p>I know that some vim users prefer to run commands from inside vim. Is that the type of people this project is aimed at?

nvim inside of tmux is my go-to development environment (i.e. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;matt-w.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;workspace-management&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;matt-w.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;workspace-management&#x2F;</a>), so I&#x27;ll definitely need to check this out.<p>Doesn&#x27;t support detachable sessions yet, though. That&#x27;s a core requirement for me, so it&#x27;ll need to wait for Neovim 0.7.

I use vmux (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jceb&#x2F;vmux&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jceb&#x2F;vmux&#x2F;</a>) to redirect all files opened for editing (via nvim some_file.ext) from any tmux window to a single Neovim session.

Honest question: I don&#x27;t question the positive impact nvim had on vim&#x27;s development and improvement. It really fostered new ideas and was key in pushing parallel module runtime.<p>Is there a point to switching to nvim now though, with vim 8 available everywhere? What does nvim brings?

While tmux has issues this would likely be the opposite of what I want because now my processes are reliant on vim. There is zellij if you want a fast Rust-based alternative to tmux.

I get that this is under development, but at this point is this really more effective or smoother in terms of workflow than just using standalone neovim and tmux?

Can you explain what this does for me that I don’t get now by using [n]vim’s built-in terminal command? I couldn’t tell from your github page.

what will happen if i logged out incidentally from my server?<p>with tmux i can just relogin and attach
