I’ve recently been getting into really picking and choosing how my computer is set up and what software I use to do certain tasks. Specifically, replacing GUIs (dolphin, [insert gui text editor here ig]) with CLIs (lf, nvim). That and learning how to leverage bash scripting to really have control over my computer.

The thing is, using tmux, nvim, and lf together has proved cumbersome because I have no idea how to integrate them. I can technically do whatever I need to do, but it certainly isn’t the fast CLI-ninja experience I was hoping for.

I’ve gone through each of their manuals and understand them on their own well enough, but with integrating them I’m drawing a blank.

So, Linux enthusiasts in this corner of the internet, do you have any guidance on setting up proper integration between CLI-based file managers, neovim, and tmux? I’m also open to suggestions for new software or a different file manager.

Edit: after making this post I got to searching again and damn cfiles looking pretty good… Edit2: nvm it’s not in nixpkgs… damn…
