can I use this plugin in git bash on Windows system? #322

Closed CengsBlanky closed 1 year ago

CengsBlanky commented 1 year ago

I typed vim command :TmuxNavigatorProcessList. The output of that command is ps -o state= -o comm= -t /dev/pty3' returned 1, I think git bash is different from other unix-like system environment, so the command is not working as it should be. Is there any work around method to detect vim?

Unfortunately my guess is that this will not work in git bash. You could try Mislav’s script or wrapper versions of the vim detection tmux commands (https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator/tree/c33a8a97028cac38040f1b8d9292337104026ad6#tmux), but I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t work as intended unfortunately due to the differences between git bash.

For whatever it’s worth, back when I was on windows I used Cygwin for unixy things (after trying git bash and finding it lacking), and I hear great things about Windows Subsystem for Linux these days.

I’m going to close this now, but hopefully those notes help!
