Question 1

How to install tmux.nvim with lazy.nvim instead of packer?

Accepted Answer

Add it to your lazy.nvim spec with a config function, e.g., `{ 'aserowy/tmux.nvim', config = function() require('tmux').setup() end }`. Ensure you follow the same setup steps as with packer, adjusting for lazy.nvim's loading.

Question 2

Does tmux.nvim work with tmux 3.3 or higher?

Accepted Answer

The README only tests with tmux 3.2a, so compatibility isn't guaranteed. Check GitHub issues for community reports, but due to reduced maintenance, you may need to test or fork for newer versions.

Question 3

How to disable clipboard synchronization in tmux.nvim?

Accepted Answer

In the configuration, set `copy_sync.enable = false` or tweak specific options like `sync_registers` to control which registers are synced, as detailed in the config defaults under copy_sync.

Question 4

Tmux.nvim vs vim-tmux-navigator: which is better?

Accepted Answer

tmux.nvim offers more features like clipboard sync and pane swapping, and uses Lua for Neovim integration. vim-tmux-navigator is simpler, Vim-compatible, and focuses on basic navigation. Choose based on depth of integration needed.

Question 5

Why is window switching not working in a python virtual environment?

Accepted Answer

This is a known issue; modify the 'is_vim' script in your tmux.conf to detect nvim in subshells, as described in the troubleshoot section under 'Window switching stops working in python virtual environment'.

Question 6

Can I use custom keybindings with tmux.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Yes, set `enable_default_keybindings` to false in the config and bind the provided Lua functions (e.g., `require('tmux').move_left()`) to your keys. Ensure tmux.conf matches these bindings exactly for seamless passthrough.

Question 7

How to integrate tmux.nvim with other yank plugins like yanky.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Refer to GitHub issue #88 for configuration examples that integrate tmux.nvim with yanky.nvim and which-key.nvim, as mentioned in the troubleshoot section, to avoid conflicts and leverage multiple yank tools.
