I tried LazyVim a couple of times, but felt that I would rather go back to a simpler nvim setup, and then build it up myself and learn as I go. I have stuck and enjoyed kickstart.nvim: https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickst

I will need to try iTerm's tools to see if I can do all of the same flow. Is it scriptable and does it have the same persistence features?

I will check this out. Thanks for the link!

glaucon, I agree with you. Most of feeling of "gatekeepiness" came from being a novice at using tmux and having to get used to a new workflow. tmux is as gatekeepy as vim, or other complex cli tool is - if you have never used it i

If you only wanted to use that feature, you could install the whick-key plugin that LazyVim uses: https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim

That's an awesome tool you made! For me scriptability of tmux is one of its selling points. You have taken it a step further. Love to see it!

I think the first thing that stood out about tmux to me as a beginner was the unnatural use of prefix. I haven't used something like that before where you had to use prefix and then a particular command. It makes sense why it is the wa

I have thought about that. For this same reason I did not remap a lot of keys in nvim, because I still want to be able to use vim wherever I work if that is the only option. However, I think that creating a simple git repository with rc fil

Hey, akkartik! The initial experience where I saw a lot of elements on the screen without knowing what's what was a lot. And sure enough - a lot of it had to do with just learning how it works and what's what. But in addition to t

Appreciate the detailed answer! I will need to take a look at different terminals to see if there is any other one that can better fit my needs. I prefer the idea of having one tool to manage everything: from local flow to remote sessions.

Keybindings and uniform experience across machines is what does it for me.

I have noticed that about an hour ago, so I don't think it was automatic. I guess I'm just curious why it was found to be against the guidelines or not representative of the topic in the post.

> Tmux is more customisable, but a lot messier out the box. I have definitely felt that. Customization wasn't necessarily straightforward - just required some time spent reading the docs. I appreciate the heads up about the "no

@HNModerators, I don't know why it was necessary to change the title of my post from "Customizing tmux and making it less dreadful" to "Customizing tmux". The point of the title was not the overview of all of the cu

lol, that's likely part of the problem :D I have started using nvim about a year ago, and that one also took three separate tries before it finally stuck with me :) After that, about 8 months ago I found tmux and had a harsh "firs

It is interesting to see that you use tmux and Kitty together. Is it faster or more convenient than using just one tool?

by EPendragon 1y ago
For me the value in using a tool like tmux is that it remains scriptable - startup scripts - and could be used in conjunction with other cli tools. The same applies to Vim/Neovim. Both of these tools remain unrivaled in regards to comb

For me, I use Spacebar as a leader key in Neovim, so I think they would conflict. Does it ever create issues for you if you need to type the backtick in the terminal? I found that Ctrl-A does a great job: it is conveniently located in relat

For me tmux ended up being the solution for my dev needs. With a little bit of time, I learnt the ropes and became more or less productive with the default setup. Afterwards, I made it my own. Like you mention, tmux sessions was one of the

I gotta admit that the initial experience in copy mode in tmux made me cringe a lot. The fact that scrolling up scrolled through the history of the terminal's commands was the most unexpected thing. After I enabled mouse use, it became

I feel that “make your own” has been the major driver behind looking into the configs myself. Learning other configs feels like a chore. I would rather learn and make it as I go. In the end I will have a sense of complete ownership. I will

I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the suggestion! What would you say is different between tmux and Zellij, and why did you start using the latter?

by EPendragon 1y ago
I have checked it out initially. It hd a good set of defaults. I didn’t like everything that came with it, but I did read through its config file and borrowed a couple of lines from there into my own setup. IMO the problem with using a preb
