Updates {#updates}

smart-splits.nvim

🧠 Smart, directional Neovim and tmux/wezterm split resizing and navigation. Think about splits in terms of "up/down/left/right".

smart-splits.nvim

smart-splits.nvim now supports the Wezterm multiplexer in addition to tmux! Seamlessly navigate across and resize Neovim and Wezterm split panes.

Since multiple multiplexer backends are now supported, if you've explicitly set config.tmux_integration = true, you will receive a deprecation warning, as the option has changed to a more generic config.multiplexer_integration = 'tmux' or config.multiplexer_integration = 'wezterm'. You can also set this config value to false to explicitly disable it.

smart-splits.nvim will try to intelligently select the multiplexer backend automatically based on the presence of $TMUX and $WEZTERM_PANE environment variables, unless you've disabled it explicitly.

require('smart-spits').setup({
  multiplexer_integration = 'wezterm',
  -- or
  -- multiplexer_integration = 'tmux',
  -- or
  -- multiplexer_integration = false,
})

See Multiplexer Integrations for more information.
