Easily send commands to a pane in the same tmux window.
There's a lot of vim plugins out there that interact with tmux but all of them
seem to do a lot more than what I wanted to do. All tbro does is send your
command to the pane specified by g:tbro_pane. That's it.
In vim you can call Tbro command to send "command" to the pane specified by
g:tbro_pane. Use ctrl+a q (or whatever your tmux prefix is) to display your
panes id's. The default pane is pane 1. If you want to target a different pane,
just set let g:tbro_pane = 2 or call :TbroPane (be sure to use tab complete
with :TbroPane!).
You can also run the last command with TbroRedo.
tbro was designed to be very minimal. Its original purpose was to be
used with vim-rspec and to have custom maps calling Tbro with
predefined commands or to be used with other plugins. To use Tbro with
vim-rspec, you can call let g:rspec_command="Tbro rspec {spec}" and
vim-rspec will use Tbro to call run spec.
This plugin is designed to call common shell commands from vim via custom maps.
Tbro has the tbro#send function which takes a command and an optional pane
string.
The pane string can be an index in the current window, or even a full
string matching the tmux send-keys format of session:1.2. session is the
target session, 1 is the target window, and 2 is the target pane. You can also
omit session and specify just the pane and window, or omit session and window and
specify only the pane.
Tbro comes with 1 default map, <Leader>t which sends the current line, or
currently selected lines to the target pane. You can opt out of these by setting
let g:tbro_skip_maps = 1.
You really should be using Vundle. Add
the following to your ~/.vimrc file, or wherever you keep your bundles.
