vimux - Simple, extensible vim integration with tmux

You may recall Josh gushing about tslime on Episode 0.7.3. While tslime makes it easy to send input from Vim to a tmux session, Ben Mills wanted a bit more, so he created Vimux. Vimux gives you a tmux pane in which to execute commands, all without losing focus in vim.

Commands can easily be set up in your .vimrc to do common tasks:

" Prompt for a command to run
map rp :PromptVimTmuxCommand

" Run last command executed by RunVimTmuxCommand
map rl :RunLastVimTmuxCommand

" Inspect runner pane
map ri :InspectVimTmuxRunner

" Close all other tmux panes in current window
map rx :CloseVimTmuxPanes

" Interrupt any command running in the runner pane
map rs :InterruptVimTmuxRunner
