tmuxjump.vim

A plugin to open file from file paths printed in sibling tmux pane.

Usecase

In my code flow, I open nvim in one tmux pand and in another I run compiler on watch. And as I code, it outputs any error/warning in the pane which contains exact location of error ex. src/Main.purs:29:1. Unlike Vscode I can't directly click on the path and open it in vim. So I created this plugin, which basically greps all the file path printed on sibling panes and populates them in fzf window. And then I can decide and jump to that location easily without moving out of nvim.

With Fzf.vim

With Telescope.nvim

Configuration

Plugin exposes two commands TmuxJumpFile & TmuxJumpFirst

• TmuxJumpFile will list files paths in fzf window
• TmuxJumpFirst will jump to the first instance of the file (from bottom)
• These command also take string as a param, which will be used to filter only the required files and then populate/jump location

Map a keybinding to trigger plugin

nnoremap <leader>ft :TmuxJumpFile<CR>
nnoremap <leader>; :TmuxJumpFirst<CR>

for Specific FileType, you can update keybinding using below command. So, when you're in purescript buffer, it'll only look for paths which contain purs string

autocmd FileType purescript nnoremap <leader>ft :TmuxJumpFile purs<CR>
autocmd FileType purescript nnoremap <leader>; :TmuxJumpFirst purs<CR>

Plugin by default uses fzf for listing files in window. However it supports Telescope.nvim too, which can be enabled by setting below variable in vimrc

let g:tmuxjump_telescope = v:true

Plugin by default capture sibling panes with capture.sh. However it supports custom script too, which can configured by setting below variable in vimrc

let g:tmuxjump_custom_capture = "/path/my_custom_script"
