On: Tmux and Vim – better together

[skrebbel]

I used it for a while but then I realized that ConEmu also supports split panes, and then i can just scroll/select the buffers by mouse instead of ctrl+b, [.

ConEmu really is an amazing piece of work. Quirky to configure (but hey, so it tmux), but truly amazing still :-)

If you like ConEmu try out cmdr http://cmder.net

> Cmder is a software package created out of pure frustration over the absence of nice console emulators on Windows. It is based on amazing software, and spiced up with the Monokai color scheme and a custom prompt layout, looking sexy from the start.

If you've already extensively customized ConEmu, Cmder is probably just going to annoy you. It's ConEmu in portable app mode with different defaults and some bundled tools.

[baldfat → jamesgeck0]

You certainly can configure ConEmu but you can't make it into Cmdr.

[jamesgeck0 → baldfat]

Cmder is a bundle of ConEmu, configuration files, a tiny launcher that makes ConEmu's portable app mode easier to manage, and some provisioning stuff for the unix tools and cmd enhancements.

I'd use Cmder if I needed to carry a complete environment around on a USB stick, but it's not difficult to set up something similar for a single system manually with ConEmu.

You can scroll using mouse in tmux too. :set mouse

Not sure about selecting panes with mouse though

[a3n → pdexter]

Yes, you can select panes and windows with the mouse.

  $ cat ~/.tmux.conf 
  set -g default-terminal "tmux"
  bind-key -t vi-copy 'v' begin-selection
  bind-key -t vi-copy 'y' copy-selection
  set -g mouse on
  setw -g mode-keys vi
  
  set display-panes-time 3000 #3s

My two wishes:

- I wish mouse selecting text didn't select across multiple panes, or all of the blank space in a (zoomed) single pane. ("Anyone? Anyone?")

- I wish the tmux copy buffer ( ctl-b [ select yank ctl-b ] ) would copy into the system copy buffer ( ctl-v ).

[pdexter → a3n]

I have wished those two wishes before. Haven't seen a solution.

Selecting, resizing and scrolling panes as well as text selection works for me on Linux (urxvt) and macOS (iTerm), don't know about windows but I don't see why not. Using mouse on, works very seamless with the "new" mouse on setting these days.
