libtmux.nvim

libtmux.nvim provides a clean interface for Neovim to interact with tmux, allowing developers to build custom workflows that bridge terminal multiplexing and editor functionality. It wraps core tmux commands as Lua functions, enabling programmatic control over sessions, windows, and panes directly from Neovim.

Key Features

• Session Management — Create, rename, switch between, and check existence of tmux sessions.
• Window Operations — Create, select, kill, list windows, and send keys or run shell commands within them.
• Pane Control — Capture, join, kill, resize, swap, select, and break panes with full API coverage.
• Thin Wrapper Design — Minimal abstraction layer that closely mirrors the native tmux command structure.
• Workflow Integration — Enables custom automation scripts and plugins that combine Neovim and tmux capabilities.

Philosophy

The project focuses on being the thinnest possible layer between Neovim and tmux, avoiding reinvention while providing reliable, version-compatible bindings to the tmux API.
