Zellij tab switch

[rafaelpirolla]

How can I navigate between two zellij tabs that have neovim in it? With the default config it doesn't seem to work.

It seems to work fine for me. Can you put together a reproducible example config?

[rafaelpirolla]

Thanks for the reply. :)
The issue is when neovim is at a border and there's a new tab on zellij.
To reproduce you can open zellij and create a new tab (ctrl+t n) – not a new split pane. Then try to move between tabs from a neovim session.

Ah, gotcha.

I think what you're looking for is the move_focus_or_tab action from vim-zellij-navigator. i.e. you can just change your zellij configs from using move_focus to move_focus_or_tab.

It is so already:

    shared_among "normal" "locked" {
        bind "Ctrl left" {
            MessagePlugin "https://github.com/hiasr/vim-zellij-navigator/releases/download/0.2.1/vim-zellij-navigator.wasm" {
                name "move_focus_or_tab"
                payload "left"
                floating false
                move_mod "ctrl"
            }
        }
        bind "Ctrl h" {
            MessagePlugin "https://github.com/hiasr/vim-zellij-navigator/releases/download/0.2.1/vim-zellij-navigator.wasm" {
                name "move_focus_or_tab"
                payload "left"
                floating false
                move_mod "ctrl"
            }
        }

Ah, I think I get the issue now.

The plugin checks if the pane is at the edge of the screen. Other multiplexers (as far as I know) don't have the equivalent of move_focus_or_tab, so we'll need to account for that specially with Zellij.
