I really like the integration with Tmux, but I already use tmux
extensively, and I really don't like the nested tmux sessions, it
screws up my settings and my navigation instincts.  Is there any way
to get vim-r-plugin to use an existing tmux/R session?  That would
give me vastly more control.

Yes. Are you using the current version on github? You should:

• Start Tmux.
• Start Vim.
• Start R with the \rf shortcut.

Please, let me know if this works ok. I still have to improve the
identification of R pane by Vim. Currently it's hardcoded on %1 and
the Object Browser will send code to the wrong Tmux pane if R is not
on pane %1.

Thanks for the response,

I just installed the current github version and tried the steps you suggest but I have the same nested tmux issue.

Note: I am using pathogen to manage all my vim plugins, not sure if that could screw anything up.

Thanks!

There are two Tmux status bars. Is this the problem? It doesn't happen
here (Ubuntu Linux, Tmux 1.5, screen plugin 1.5).

What happens when you use the plugin's key bindings to send code from
Vim to R?

This should not be a problem. The plugin was adapted to pathogen on
May, 2010.

I think the issue might be that I was overriding the default tmux settings and using my own tmux conf file, which uses the status bar. Now that I have changed that the status bar isn't there anymore, but my mouse aware setup is no longer working.

I can live with the nested tmux sessions, but my original question was if it would be possible to use an existing tmux session totally. For example, I could open tmux, open R, then open a new tmux pane and open vim in that, then activate the R-plugin and have it work with the existing tmux and R sessions, without creating a new tmux session and a new R session, which is what happens now.

I think this might actually be an issue with the screen plugin rather than the R-plugin, but it would be nice to have, it would make the plugin feel much more integrated - for example I could quit vim without killing the R session.

Please look at the example of tmux.conf in the plugin documentation.
The plugin also creates a tmux.conf at /tmp/r-plugin-yourlogin/tmux.conf

And, please, post suggestions of improvements here if you think they
will work well for most people.

You could try to split an existing Tmux session instead of using many
nested ones. Example: You can start tmux, do

^A:split-window -h

to split the window by a vertical line, start Vim in one of the panes
and start another application in the other...

Please, read this:
