Vimux: simple vim and tmux integration

At Braintree we take our tools seriously. We are always looking for ways to improve our toolchain to make us more productive. Because we pair-program full-time, we have a standard set of dotfiles so that any two developers can work together without having to fumble with different keyboard shortcuts or aliases. For the past year we have been using vim as our text editor, running inside tmux. Today I’m going to talk about some of the ways we use vim and tmux together to make development easier as well as introduce a new vim plugin called vimux that we have been using successfully at Braintree.
