WARNING: This plugin is still in development, and may stuck in this state for ever. If you need something stable and robust you can check out these projects that inspired msg2tmux in the first place.

Transform markdown documents into interactive notebooks with vim and tmux.

msg2tmux is supposed to be a simple and stupid lightweight alternative to nvim-R with some extra features, like supporting code blocks in non-r-markdown files, and multiple other languages, like javascript, bash, python (but it doesn't support .ipynb files, and doesn't plan to due to technical limitations).

This plugin requires tmux, so if you'r not a tmux user that could be a deal breaker.

This plugin is not as robust and stable as other more matured and specialised tools. Here are some good alternatives, that were the inspirations of this project:

• Nvim-R: for working with R (and R markdown documents)
• Vimux: Interact with tmux panes from vim
• tslime.vim: "a simple vim script to send portion of text from a vim buffer to a running tmux session" (from their GitHub page)

This plugin can interact reliably with the following shells:

• R
• radian - with the following caveat:
  • Bracket completion must be disabled (options.radian.auto_match = FALSE). Check out the docs of radian on modyfing the settings here.
• bash
• ipython

General caveats:

• As a workaround for some technical problems with the how the shells handle new lines, this plugin sends unnecessary Enter keystrokes to the targeted pane in some cases.

• python
• R
• javascript
• bash

The python shell is not supported, and I'm not planning to work on it in the future.

Compatible with both vim (from version 8.0 and above) and nvim.

Use your preferred plugin manager, I use vim-plug:

Plug 'fulopkovacs/msg2tmux'
Plug 'fulopkovacs/msg2tmux'

You must run vim in a tmux session

===========================================================
GENERAL

<LocalLeader>we   Send the visual selection to the next
                  tmux pane

===========================================================
MARKDOWN, R-MARKDOWN

<LocalLeader>jj   Jump to next code block

<LocalLeader>kk   Jump to previous code block

<LocalLeader>cc   Execute the current code block in
                  the next tmux pane

<LocalLeader>pp   Execute the current and all previous
                  code blocks in the next tmux pane

<LocalLeader>aa   Execute every code block of the document
                  from the first to the last one in the
                  next tmux pane

<LocalLeader>cl   Sends the `C-l` keystroke to the next tmux
                  pane (usually it clears it)
