Currently, my setup includes tmux with various tabs and windows/panes for the terminal, editor, logs, etc. It really works well for me.

That being said, I love neovim and would love to try to bring it all under a single program. My issue is that I can’t get used to the terminal in Neovim. One thing I like about the tmux panes is that they are distinctly different in color schemes - the terminal being darker and with much more contrast. But from what I can tell, even if I use folke’s styler, I don’t think the terminal counts for a filetype, so it will revert to my default.

Some other items I wish I could improve with neovim’s terminal are the line numbers, I would rather they be removed.

I’ve tried a few plugins, but nothing really tickled my fancy. Would be curious if anyone else feels the same way or has found a solution?

    I feel somehow similar, also using tmux (in my case inside st terminal) and neovim. I tried various times combining the features of the terminal and tmux but I am so used to the very specific workflows I developed over the years that I’ve thus far always come back to that setup.

    And here is the part that might relate to you: is there any explicit pain you experience with your current setup or would it be just nice/cool/nerdy to be able to combine things? In the latter case my experience is: leave it as it is and save this time for some more productive improvements. :-)

      Hit the nail on the head - it’s more the “playing with the config” and “see what’s possible” type of interest. My current setup is perfect for my workflow and use case and relying on a new tmux pane/window for the terminal works as I’d like. Complete navigation between tmux and neovim with the keyboard; I have no need at all to combine things. Thanks for cutting right through me! 😆
