tmutils.nvim is a Neovim plugin designed to streamline common development tasks that involve both tmux and Neovim. Key features include:

Sending a range of lines from Neovim to a tmux pane.
Collecting output from a tmux pane into Neovim.
Creating a configurable tmux pane to serve as a terminal.
Setting up and managing REPLs within tmux panes directly from Neovim.
Creating a scratch window that uses the syntax of the configured REPL and helps editing the commands to send.

For a more detailed guide and documentation, review the help page: :help tmutils.txt

Installation

lazy: to install this plugin using lazy:

{
    "juselara1/tmutils.nvim",
    dependencies = {
        --NOTE: you can optionally add one of these dependencies if you
        --want to use a custom selector different from the default vim.ui
        --selector.

        --"MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
        --"nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim"
        --"vijaymarupudi/nvim-fzf"
    },
    config = function()
        require("tmutils").setup({})
    end,
}

4. Delete the terminal or REPL: :help :TmutilsWindow

Literate programming:

literate.mp4

Let's see a more advanced example for literate programming using markdown as the base file format and an IPython repl:

We'll use the mini.ai plugin to define a custom text object x (vix will select all the code inside of a cell that's usually delimited using a triple backquote). Let's see the configuration using lazy.nvim:

{
    "echasnovski/mini.nvim",
    config = function()
        require("mini.ai").setup({
            custom_textobjects = {
                ---Code cell
                x = { "```%S+%s()[^`]+()```" },
            },
            mappings = {
                -- Main textobject prefixes
                around = "a",
                inside = "i",
            },
            search_method = "cover_or_next",
            silent = true,
        })
    end,
}

Let's configure the repl in tmutils:

local selectors = require("tmutils.selectors")
require("tmutils").setup({
    window = {
        repls = {
            --We configure here an IPython repl
            ipython = {
                syntax = "python",
                commands = function()
                    return {
                        ("cd %s"):format(vim.fn.getcwd()),
                        "ipython",
                        "clear",
                    }
                end,
            },
        },
    },
})

Now, we'll define some useful keybindings:

--<leader>r creates a repl
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>r", ":TmutilsWindow repl<CR>", {
    noremap = true,
    silent = true,
    desc = "Shows a menu to select and launch a repl",
})
--<leader>x sends a code cell to the repl
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>x", function()
    vim.cmd("norm vix")
    local pos_l = vim.fn.getpos(".")
    local pos_r = vim.fn.getpos("v")
    vim.cmd(("%d,%dTmutilsSend"):format(pos_l[2], pos_r[2]))
    vim.api.nvim_input("<Esc>")
end, {
    noremap = true,
    silent = false,
    desc = "Sends a code cell to a tmux pane",
})

Open or create a markdown file, you can define Python cells using the following format:
```python import os import sys ```
We can populate the quickfix list using :vimgrep to find the start of all the code cells. This allows an easy navigation between cells using :cnext and :cprev:
```
:vim /\v```python/ %
```
Open a new repl using <leader>r, navigate between cells using :cnext and :cprev, and execute them using <leader>x.

Configuration

The configuration table has the following schema (review LuaLS type specification for the type annotations):

{
    --Configuration for UI-based selection.
    selector = {
        --The backend used to select options.
        selector = [[
        fun(
            opts: string[],
            message: string,
            callback: fun(selected_opt: string): nil
            ): nil
        ]],
    },
    --Configuration for the scratch window.
    scratch = {
        --Scratch window width.
        width = "integer",
        --Scratch window height.
        height = "integer",
        --Scratch window center col.
        col = "integer",
        --Scratch window center row.
        row = "integer",
        --Scratch window border.
        border = "none" | "single" | "double" | "rounded" | "solid" | "shadow",
        --Scratch window title position.
        title_pos = "center" | "left" | "right",
    },
    --Configuration for window management commands.
    window = {
        --Configuration for the terminal pane.
        terminal = {
            --Direction in which to split the terminal pane.
            direction = '"vertical" | "horizontal"',
            --Relative size (in percentage) for the terminal pane.
            size = "number",
            --Function that returns a list of commands to be executed
            --when launching a new terminal pane.
            commands = "fun(): string[]",
        },
        repls = {
            --Assign a key to the repl
            ["string"] = {
                --Direction in which to split the repl pane.
                direction = '"vertical" | "horizontal"',
                --Syntax for this REPL.
                syntax = "string",
                --Relative size (in percentage) for the repl pane.
                size = "number",
                --Function that returns a list of commands to be executed
                --when launching a new repl pane.
                commands = "fun(): string[]",
            },
        },
    },
}

Let's see a full example configuration using lazy.nvim with the following features:

Uses nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim as the selector.
Setups three REPLs: python, ipython, and compose.
Creates keybindings for different user commands.

        "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",

        require("tmutils").setup({
            selector = {
                selector = selectors.telescope_selector,
            },
            window = {
                repls = {

                                "clear",
                                "python",
                            }
                        end,
                    },
