I returned to vi and tmux after a long break from the terminal-heavy workflow. It felt like rediscovering muscle memory.
My setup:
-
vim for editing, with vim-plug and solarized theme
- tmux for session persistence and multitasking
- iTerm2 for keyboard-friendly tabsCombining them gave me a robust setup — no lag, no mouse needed, and quick navigation across sessions.
Productivity hack: prefix commands with
:TmuxCommand to jump between split panes programmatically.
