AI Analysis

●●SolidNiche GemBig Brain

Pure tmux-side navigation using --remote-expr beats vim-tmux-navigator's dual-config approach.

Strengths
  • •Zero Neovim config works with --clean mode and multiple NVIM_APPNAME instances.
  • •Cursor repositioning jumps to nearest split when entering Neovim pane.
Weaknesses
  • •Tiny audience — only matters if you already use both tmux and Neovim daily.
  • •Requires tmux 3.0+ and Neovim 0.8+, excluding older LTS environments.
Target Audience
