I have a tmux + vim setup in which I use split panes. Every time I press ctrl+w
to move between the vim panes, my vim instance becomes completely unresponsive. At first I thought this was a tmux issue so I disabled all my tmux plugins and shortcuts.
After disabling, I still run into this issue.
Every time I press ctrl+w
, the whole terminal window becomes unresponsive (in my case it's iTerm2 on mac). I can switch over to other apps like my browser and everything is a bit slowed down on my computer (a simple google search hangs). And then about a minute later, things are back to normal. I can continue using vim and other apps on my computer no problem until I accidentally or intentionally tap ctrl+w
again.
I should note that I am using neovim instead of vim.
vim --clean
? Is your$TERM
configured correctly inside tmux? Outside? It sounds like something is hogging your cpu when vim freezes, but I’m guessing.ctrl-j
as my prefix. I looked at the activity log and it doesn't seem to spike my CPU, iTerm2 just becomes unresponsive which baffles me even more.
