Tmux Integration

There are 2 ways to integrate Navigator.nvim with tmux for a smooth navigation experience

Using script

Add the following to your ~/.tmux.conf file. Credit goes to vim-tmux-navigator

version_pat='s/^tmux[^0-9]*([.0-9]+).*/\1/p'

is_vim="ps -o state= -o comm= -t '#{pane_tty}' \
    | grep -iqE '^[^TXZ ]+ +(\\S+\\/)?g?(view|n?vim?x?)(diff)?$'"
tmux bind-key -n C-h if-shell "$is_vim" "send-keys C-h" "select-pane -L"
tmux bind-key -n C-j if-shell "$is_vim" "send-keys C-j" "select-pane -D"
tmux bind-key -n C-k if-shell "$is_vim" "send-keys C-k" "select-pane -U"
tmux bind-key -n C-l if-shell "$is_vim" "send-keys C-l" "select-pane -R"
tmux_version="$(tmux -V | sed -En "$version_pat")"
tmux setenv -g tmux_version "$tmux_version"

tmux if-shell -b '[ "$(echo "$tmux_version < 3.0" | bc)" = 1 ]' \
  "bind-key -n 'C-\\' if-shell \"$is_vim\" 'send-keys C-\\'  'select-pane -l'"
tmux if-shell -b '[ "$(echo "$tmux_version >= 3.0" | bc)" = 1 ]' \
  "bind-key -n 'C-\\' if-shell \"$is_vim\" 'send-keys C-\\\\'  'select-pane -l'"

tmux bind-key -T copy-mode-vi C-h select-pane -L
tmux bind-key -T copy-mode-vi C-j select-pane -D
tmux bind-key -T copy-mode-vi C-k select-pane -U
tmux bind-key -T copy-mode-vi C-l select-pane -R
