vim-tmux-navigator stops working when pick runs inside vim about pick HOT 18 CLOSED

I believe you are correct. You can check by running display-message -p "#{pane_current_command}" at the tmux command prompt <prefix>:. Assuming this is the case, I don't think there is anything I can do to work around it.

Actually, looks like I was wrong — display-message -p "#{pane_current_command}" outputs vim when I have pick up.

I think this is an effect of #4.

@ggilder Could you test this and see if this issue persists after merging #26?

from pick.

It looks like this isn't a problem anymore but it would still be good if @ggilder could verify.

Actually, I am still seeing the problem running 94180de...

@ggilder are you running with the -X flag?

from pick.

Since merging #35 (just now) you should not have to pass the -X flag anymore.

from pick.

@ggilder Does this issue persist?

from pick.

Tested with 1.1.0, and unfortunately I still see the issue. I tried both with -X and without.

from pick.

@ggilder Interesting. What version of Mac OS are you running? I wonder what the difference between your system and @Keithbsmiley's is.

Am I understanding this correctly? This is not really an issue with vim-tmux-navigator (the Vim plugin) since Vim is no longer receiving input. Instead it is a problem with pick and tmux key bindings. When run from the shell in tmux pick does not affect tmux key bindings but when run from vim inside a shell in tmux, tmux key bindings do not work.

@calleerlandsson I'm running 10.9.5; I wonder if it might work on 10.10. I don't have a 10.10 system handy to test on unfortunately.

But yes, I think the problem is as you describe: while pick is up in Vim, Vim does not receive input so vim-tmux-navigator hotkeys don't work.

from pick.

Ah yes I misunderstood what was happening. Pressing CTRL-J while pick is open definitely doesn't do what it should in tmux.

from pick.

Me and @teoljungberg tested and can confirm what I stated in my previous comment. I think the problem lies in how running pick from within Vim's system() changes how keys behave. selecta, another fuzzy search tool had the same problem when we tested it. Do you guys know a tool that does work?

from pick.

This does not work in selecta either.

Digging through old issues, is this still an issue? /cc @keith @ggilder @calleerlandsson

from pick.

I think the snippet that is now in the README of that repo solves this problem https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator/#add-a-snippet

from pick.

Thanks @keith. I will go ahead and close this issue for now. Feel free
to re-open if any errors still is caused by pick.
