tmux-compile.nvim

Neovim plugin designed to simplify the process of compiling and running projects within tmux panes or windows. Supports multiple programming languages by allowing customisation of build and run commands.

Also supports running lazygit from within current Neovim session on an overlay terminal.

editor theme above

Install & Setup

Install using your favorite plugin manager. For example, using lazy.nvim:

{ 'karshPrime/tmux-compile.nvim', event = 'VeryLazy' },

And setup it with:

require('tmux-compile').setup({
    -- Overriding Default Configurations. [OPTIONAL]
    save_session = false,             -- Save file before action (:wall)
    build_run_window_title = "build", -- Tmux window name for Build/Run
    ---- same window pane
    new_pane_everytime = false,       -- Use existing side panes for action, when false
    side_width_percent = 50,          -- Side pane width percentage
    bottom_height_percent = 30,       -- Bottom pane height percentage
    ---- overlay window
    overlay_width_percent = 80,       -- Overlay width percentage
    overlay_height_percent = 80,      -- Overlay height percentage
    overlay_sleep = 1,                -- Pause before overlay autoclose; seconds
                                      -- By default it sets value to -1,
                                      -- indicating not to autoclose overlay

    -- Languages' Run and Build actions.  [REQUIRED]
    build_run_config = {
        {
            extension = {'c', 'cpp', 'h'},
            build = 'make',
            run   = 'make run',
            debug = 'lldb',
        },
        {
            extension = {'rs'},
            build = 'cargo build',
            run   = 'cargo run',
            -- not all properties are required for all extensions
        },
        {
            extension = {'go'},
            run = 'go run .',
            -- Run would work for golang
            -- but Build and Debug will return errors informing configs are
            -- missing
        }
    },

    -- Directory override config. [OPTIONAL]
    -- Set actions for a specific directory (per project basis)
    project_override_config = {
        {
            project_base_dir = '/absolute/path/to/project',
            build = 'make',
            run   = 'make run',
            debug = 'lldb',
        },
        {
            project_base_dir = '~/Projects/ESP32/',
            build = 'idf.py build',
            run   = 'idf.py flash /dev/cu.usbmodem1101'
            -- Only build will work for this path
        }
    }
})

Defining project overrides locally.

Along with the previously defined 'project_override_config' it is also possible to define build/run/debug actions locally inside the project working directory. The plugin will look for a configuratino file called 'tmux-compile.lua' inside the following directories RELATIVE to the vim current owrking directory:

./.nvim/
./nvim/
./

Example tmux-compile.lua file

return {
    build = "make",
    run = "make run"
}

IMPORTANT: configuration precedence

When starting, this plugin will load and apply the build/run/debug commands in the following order:

1. tmux-compile.lua
2. project_override_config
3. build_run_config

If there is no tmux-compile.lua file defined in the current working directory, the plugin will load the commands from the 'project_override_config' table inside the main config. If that is also not defined for the current working directory, then the plugin will default to the commands defined by the file extension of the current buffer

Keybinds

Create keybindings for any command by adding the following to Neovim config:

vim.keymap.set('n', 'KEYBIND', 'COMMAND<CR>', {silent=true})

Example: to set F5 to compile and run current project in an overlay terminal window-

vim.keymap.set('n','<F5>', ':TMUXcompile Run<CR>', {silent=true})

List of all supported commands

* Run here includes both compiling and running the program, depending on the run command specified for the file extension.
