tmux-edgelord

Vim motion inspired bindings (alt + HJKL) to spatially navigate all panes, crossing session and window boundaries when edges are hit.

The four keybindings work similarly to typical select-pane bindings. When used at the edge of a window, however, they shift to a pane in an adjacent window (or session). This differs from typical select-pane bindings which would wrap around - shifting to an opposite pane in the same window.

Edge behaviour

In the horizontal plane:

• leftward = previous window
• rightward = next window

Vertically:

• upward = previous session
• downward = next session

Imagine all your sessions stacked on top of each other and it makes more sense.

Bindings

These are UPPERCASE.

Alt+J  Upward pane, previous session if necessary 
Alt+K  Downward pane, next session if necessary 
Alt+H  Rightward pane, next window if necessary
Alt+L  Leftward pane, previous window if necessary
