A Neovim plugin providing directional (up/down/left/right) navigation and resizing of split panes, with seamless integration across Neovim and terminal multiplexers like Tmux, Zellij, Wezterm, and Kitty. It replaces resize-based mental models with direction-based movement across all splits.

Use cases

• navigate between neovim splits and tmux panes seamlessly
• resize vim windows using left/right/up/down instead of wider/narrower
• move cursor across terminal multiplexer panes from inside neovim
• ignore sidebar buffers like nvim-tree when resizing splits
• consistent split keybindings across tmux zellij wezterm and kitty

When to choose

• you use Neovim together with a terminal multiplexer and want unified pane navigation
• you find vim's wider/narrower/taller/shorter resizing unintuitive
• you want one set of directional keybindings for both vim splits and terminal panes

When to avoid

• you don't use Neovim
• you don't use splits or a terminal multiplexer
• you need a general-purpose terminal window manager rather than an editor plugin
