gvim support #58

Closed mgraham closed 8 years ago

I use gvim in one window and tmux in another. In this configuration, tmuxcomplete silently fails.

After some digging, I discovered that the tmuxcomplete shell script is complaining that it is not being run from within tmux. 

if [ -z "$TMUX_PANE" ]; then
    echo "Not running inside tmux!" 1>&2
    exit 1
fi

However, it turns out that it is not necessary to run within tmux in order to interact with a running tmux. If I remove that check from the tmuxcomplete shell script, then the script works fine.

Oh that's awesome!

Did you check what happens without that check if no tmux is running at all?

We might want to use a different (less restrictive) check to see if any tmux is running anywhere.

Thanks for the heads up :+1:
