tvp-repl

This repository configures [t]mux in junction with [v]im and [p]ython for a comfy REPL experience. Fixed plugins on the one hand and convoluted blog posts on the other, I decided to upload my gist.

Debian-based distributions can be configured using the setup.sh.

The magic consists of four inputs:

1. xclip
2. vim with +clipboard .vimrc:

   set clipboard=unnamedplus
   vnoremap <C-c> "+y
   

3. tmux bindings to dump the clipboard .tmux.conf:

bind-key Enter run "tmux send-keys -t 0 C-c" \; 
    run "tmux select-pane -t 1" \; 
    run "tmux set-buffer \"$(xclip -o -sel clipboard)\"; tmux paste-buffer" \; 
    run "tmux send-keys -t 1 Enter" \; 
    run "tmux select-pane -t 0"

4. Load tmux with vim and ipython in a pre-set comfy REPL setup. ~/bin/tvp-repl:

#!/bin/sh
FILE=$1
tmux new-session \; \
  send-keys 'vim '${FILE} C-m \; \
  split-window -h \; \
  send-keys 'ipython '${FILE} C-m \; \
  select-pane -t 0 \; 

Suggestions:

1. .vimrc: Set a custom short cut. CTRL+C is a personal default.
2. Choose different window setup, i.e. put the ipython pane to the bottom with

split-window -v -l 5

3. Add an input for a conda environment for ipython.

ENV=$2
[...]
  send-keys 'conda activate '${ENV}'; clear; ipython '${FILE} C-m \; \
 [...]
