with the release of nvim 0.5 I started using a terminal based setup, which is just a full screen terminal with tmux split in usually vertically, one big terminal on the left and 1|2 on the right. On the past I've tried similar setups to no avail, but what changed this time was that I completely threw out the "religious" ideal of "evil-mouse" and turned on mouse support on both tmux and nvim and it's awesome! Everythi…

This is basically what I do too:

Tmux, vim, and some tmux-fu to enable copy-on-select with the mouse.

Terminal, TMUX, neovim when i'm writing bash/python or any of the markup/config "languages". Intellij for Java, because of all the extra crap associated with Java.

I've only recently started to deal with Java and I was wondering about this. Even building a Gradle project didn't seem to work without Intellij! What's up with that? I use neovim, tmux, fish and Python all the time. Rust works fine. It's just Java!

I am a huge tmux and vim user. I also like the fact that tmux is scriptable and have hacked a few more tools like clojure to "program" and automate my typing in terminal windows. This has made it possible for me to type less and become very productive in command line environments. http://www.kodeship.com/srimux.html
