A couple of questions just to confirm:
- You do have the vim plugin installed in addition to the tmux plugin, right?
- Have you checked for conflicting keymaps in vim as per these instructions?
Presuming neither of those resolve it, can you test out the following:
- With vim open in the first pane (pane 0 in tmux)
- In a split terminal pane, run
ps -o state= -o comm= -t $(tmux display -p -t 0 '#{pane_tty}') - Share what the output is?
I'm seeing the following output, for context.
Ss zsh
S+ vim
it's not working with me too. am using nvchad
-- No longer needed, using tmux navigation integration
-- navigate = {
-- { mode = "n", keymap = "<C-l>", action = "<C-w>l", desc = "pane left" },
-- { mode = "n", keymap = "<C-h>", action = "<C-w>h", desc = "pane right" },
-- { mode = "n", keymap = "<C-j>", action = "<C-w>j", desc = "pane up" },
-- { mode = "n", keymap = "<C-k>", action = "<C-w>k", desc = "pane down" },
-- },hey @alex-belost
I had my keymaps to navigate between neovim panes, I think this made a conflict with vim-tmux-navigator
if you have a similar keymaps, try removing them and check if it solves your problem
I want to mention the the above mappings didn't cause me any trouble at a certain point, this happened recently
I am using:
- tmux : 3.2a
- neovim : 0.9.5
it's not working with me too. am using nvchad
I am also using Nvchad and it doesnt work, the command works fine but the keybinds don't.
- Neovim: 0.10.0
- tmux: 3.4
I'm having some similar struggles. Navigation between Vim panes works fine, as does navigation between non-Vim tmux panes; non-Vim to vim does work but Vim to non-Vim does not. I am still able to navigate out of a Vim pane into a tmux pane using <prefix>-<arrows>.
Additionally, I don't get any output from :TmuxNavigatorProcessList, but running ps -o state= -o comm= -t $(tmux display -p -t 0 '#{pane_tty}') with a Vim instance in pane 0 gives:
S zsh
S nvim

I've been tinkering with nvchad and ran into a similar issue. Doing the following worked:
--- for nvchad users, this is in the ~/.config/nvim/lua/mappings.lua file
local unmap = vim.keymap.del
--- This fixes an issue with the vim-tmux-navigator + nvchad in which the base nvchad
--- mapping were conflicting with vim-tmux-navigator ones.
unmap("n", "<c-h>")
unmap("n", "<c-j>")
unmap("n", "<c-k>")
unmap("n", "<c-l>")
map("n", "<c-h>", "<cmd>:TmuxNavigateLeft<cr>")
map("n", "<c-j>", "<cmd>:TmuxNavigateDown<cr>")
map("n", "<c-k>", "<cmd>:TmuxNavigateUp<cr>")
map("n", "<c-l>", "<cmd>:TmuxNavigateRight<cr>")
map("n", "<c-\\>", "<cmd>:TmuxNavigatePrevious<cr>")So, for me, it simply appears it was a conflicting mapping issue.
N.B. My tmux-navigator plugin is set as lazy = false. Might this cause it to be loaded before the nvchad mapping, causing the override?
@TheCoconutChef, I just tried your method, unfortunately I don't think the root cause is the same as I get an error trying to unmap a mapping that does not exist. I did try re-doing the maps without the unmapping and with tmux_navigator_no_mappings set but the issue persists unfortunately.

This worked for me. Thanks a lot!
The reason it was breaking for me was that Ctrl + {h,j,k,l} is already mapped in lazyvim.
I have no idea if this is a good idea or not (EDIT I figured out a better way to do this below so check that out before you do this one), but this is what I ended up getting to work in LazyVim.
It just deletes the old keymaps when they first load I believe:
{
"christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator",
keys = {
{
"<c-h>",
function ()
vim.keymap.del("n", "<c-h>");
return "<cmd><C-U>TmuxNavigateLeft<cr>"
end,
desc="Tmux Navigate Left"
},
{
"<c-j>",
function ()
vim.keymap.del("n", "<c-j>");
return "<cmd><C-U>TmuxNavigateDown<cr>"
end,
desc="Tmux Navigate Down"
},
{
"<c-k>",
function ()
vim.keymap.del("n", "<c-k>");
return "<cmd><C-U>TmuxNavigateUp<cr>"
end,
desc="Tmux Navigate Up"
},
{
"<c-l>",
function ()
vim.keymap.del("n", "<c-l>");
return "<cmd><C-U>TmuxNavigateRight<cr>"
end,
desc="Tmux Navigate Right"
},
},
},Ooops that last one was a little odd. I think I just need to provide the remap option to neovim instead of deleting the keymap which is much cleaner and probably the normal way people would do it in lazyvim:
{
"christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator",
remap = true,
keys = {
{
"<c-h>",
"<cmd><C-U>TmuxNavigateLeft<cr>",
desc="Tmux Navigate Left"
},
{
"<c-j>",
"<cmd><C-U>TmuxNavigateDown<cr>",
desc="Tmux Navigate Down"
},
{
"<c-k>",
"<cmd><C-U>TmuxNavigateUp<cr>",
desc="Tmux Navigate Up"
},
{
"<c-l>",
"<cmd><C-U>TmuxNavigateRight<cr>",
desc="Tmux Navigate Right"
},
},
},Final Edit actually it appears remap isn't even an available option so I don't know why it wasn't working before, but this is my minimal config. Maybe I had an uninstalled dependency.
