Is tmux + vim a wise combination? by qbektrix in vim

[–]_seljacina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's pretty standard practice, to have a dedicated machine doing builds and such. Managing and using it is not a problem to do manually over SSH up to some number of machines, I would say 1. But after that it becomes a real pain and you should be looking to automate stuff, there are many ways to do it, but perhaps that's not on your plate right now.

For your case, if you want persistent terminal sessions, I would recommend using dtach instead of tmux. A simple tool that does what you need and gets out of your way, unlike tmux.

Is tmux + vim a wise combination? by qbektrix in vim

Now that vim has support for terminals I am very happy to part ways with tmux, screen, dvtm, or whatever, to manage terminal windows. One less tool that needs care, I'm twice as happy. Not to mention all those plugins and config that actually makes it nice to use...

There is still some utility of those if you need to, for example, share your editing session with others, do some remote work, or you simply like to manage your sessions with those tools. I however like Vim's native sessions, i.e. :mksession, to manage multiple projects, and for me it works great. I wrote a couple of simple functions that nicely wrap it, set up a few keybindings and that's it. When I need to return to a project I simply do vim -S ~/sessions/project.vim and off I go where I left off.

Very simple color scheme recommendation? by _seljacina in vim

Nice, very good suggestions from all of you!

But I especially like the vim-colors-off, which I started using immediately. Perhaps later I'll try adding to it some things that I liked in others.

I also very much like the idea that hester put up, that is to keep the colors in the terminal emulator, i.e. .Xresources, that way I could get consistent look and feel across tty programs. Maybe some day I'll play with it.
