Vimux is a Vim plugin that lets you easily interact with tmux from within Vim, such as spawning a small tmux pane to run commands without losing focus. It supports rerunning the last command, making it convenient for running tests or REPLs repeatedly.
Use cases
- run tests in a tmux pane without leaving vim
- rerun the last shell command from vim
- send commands to a REPL from vim
- create a scratch tmux pane for ad-hoc commands
- integrate test runners like rspec or pytest with vim
When to choose
- you use vim inside tmux and want to run tests or commands in a side pane
- you want to rerun commands repeatedly without retyping them
- you want to keep focus in vim while commands execute
When to avoid
- you don't use tmux
- you use Neovim and prefer native terminal buffers or async job APIs
- you need full terminal emulation inside vim
