README
## What is this
tmux-tilit brings tiling window manager features and smooth keybindings to your tmux sessions, boosting your productivity like never before.
## Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
- You have installed the latest version of `tmux (>= 3.0)` and [`tpm`](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm).
## Installing tmux-tilit
To get tmux-tilit, add the following to your `tmux.conf`:
```bash
set -g @plugin '2kabhishek/tmux-tilit'
```
## Using tmux-tilit
### Keybindings
All the configured keybindings can be found in the [keybinding manual here](./docs/keybindings.md).
### Customizing tmux-tilit
#### `easymode` for arrow key navigation
To navigate using arrow keys, you can enable easy mode with: `set -g @tilit-easymode 'on'`
The revised keybindings for the pane focus and movement then become:
| Keybinding | Description |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Alt + ←/↓/↑/→ | Focus pane in direction |
| Alt + Shift + ←/↓/↑/→ | Move pane in direction |
| Alt + h/j/k/l | Resize pane in direction |
#### `layout` for customizing default layout
You can set the default layout with `set -g @tilit-default 'layout'`, this will be used when creating new windows or panes.
Available layouts are:
- `main-vertical`
- `main-horizontal`
- `tiled`
- `even-vertical`
- `even-horizontal`
#### `navigator` for integrating with vim/neovim
To setup navigation with neovim install [Navigator.nvim][4] and for vim use [vim-tmux-navigator][5]
Then, in your `~/.tmux.conf` add:
```bash
set -g @tilit-navigator 'on'
```
This will let you seamlessly navigate between vim/neovim splits and tmux panes with Ctrl + hjkl.

#### `prefix` for integrating with window managers
If your window manager uses Alt as default modifier, it's recommended to switch to Super or Meta for a smoother experience.
If you do not want to do that you can enable prefix mode and faster repeat-time in tmux:
```bash
set -g @tilit-prefix 'M-space'
set -g repeat-time 1000
```
This will let you hit Alt + Space and then a key to perform an action, repeat time lets you run more actions with a single prefix.
#### `shiftnum` for working with international keyboards
You can set the `@tilit-shiftnum` option to match your keyboard layout:
```bash
# US Keyboard
set -g @tilit-shiftnum '!@#$%^&*()'
# UK Keyboard
set -g @tilit-shiftnum '!"£$%^&*()'
```
## How I built this
Major credits to [tmux-tilish](https://github.com/jabirali/tmux-tilish) for the inspiration
I wanted to add some new commands and integrations, make the keybindings match better with tmux defaults.
## Challenges faced
Making sure the keybindings work across different command line programs and environments was challenging.
## What I learned
- Learned more about the tmux api.
## What's next
