## Using Vifm as Helix's file-manager
### Setup
1. Copy this plugin to your Vifm's plugin directory
2. Add these three scripts to your PATH:
<details>
<summary>tmux-ide</summary>
```bash
#!/bin/bash
file="$1"
if [ -d "$file" ]; then
cd "$file"
fi
session_id="$(tmux new-session -dP)"
tmux rename-window -t "$session_id" "editor"
tmux send-keys -t "$session_id" "exec $EDITOR '$file'" Enter
exec tmux attach -t "$session_id"
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>tmux-toggle</summary>
```bash
#!/bin/bash
main() {
local tag mode cmd
if [ $# -gt 1 ]; then
mode="$1"
tag="$2"
cmd="$3"
shift 3
case "$mode" in
pane) toggle_pane "$tag" "$cmd" "$@";;
window) toggle_window "$tag" "$cmd" "$@";;
esac
fi
}
toggle_window() {
local tag cmd target current_window
tag="$1"
cmd="$2"
target="$(tmux show -qv "@$tag")"
current_window="$(tmux display -p '#S:#I')"
if [ "$current_window" = "$target" ]; then
tmux last-window
else
if [ -n "$target" ] && tmux lsw -F'#S:#I' | grep -q "$target"; then
tmux select-window -t "$target"
else
if [ -z "$cmd" ]; then
target="$(tmux new-window -PF'#S:#I')"
else
target="$(tmux new-window -PF'#S:#I' -- sh -c "$cmd")"
fi
tmux set "@$tag" "$target"
fi
fi
}
toggle_pane() {
local tag cmd size target current_window
tag="$1"
cmd="$2"
size="$3"
target="$(tmux show -qv "@$tag")"
current_window="$(tmux display -p '#S:#I')"
if [ "$current_window" = "${target%.*}" ]; then
target="$(tmux break-pane -dPs "$target")"
else
if [ -n "$target" ]; then
tmux join-pane -bhl "$size" -s "$target" -t "$current_window.0"
target="$current_window.0"
else
if [ -z "$cmd" ]; then
target="$(tmux split -bhl "$size" -PF'#S:#I.#P')"
else
target="$(tmux split -bhl "$size" -PF'#S:#I.#P' -- sh -c "$cmd")"
fi
tmux select-pane -t "$target" -P 'bg=#090B10'
fi
fi
tmux set "@$tag" "$target"
}
main "$@"
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>tmux-toggle-pane-vifm</summary>
```bash
#!/bin/bash
tmux-toggle pane fm 'vifm -c "set vicmd='\''#editor#run helix-tmux'\''" "$(pwd)"' 25%
```
</details>
3. Configure Tmux
<details>
<summary>tmux.conf</summary>
```shell
bind -n 'c-b' run-shell 'tmux-toggle-pane-vifm'
bind -n 'c-t' run-shell 'tmux-toggle window term'
# Keybinding to open an editor window in a new tmux session
bind -n 'c-e' new-window \; rename-window editor \; send-keys -t :editor.0 'exec $EDITOR' Enter
# Theming
set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"
set -as terminal-overrides ",alacritty*:Tc"
set -g status off
set -g pane-border-status off
set -g pane-border-indicators off
set -g pane-active-border-style "fg=#0F111A"
set -g pane-border-lines heavy
```
</details>
4. Configure Vifm:
<details>
<summary>vifmrc</summary>
```vim
" Hides information when there is not enough space. Customize it however you want
if &columns > 160
vsplit | view!
set viewcolumns=-{name}..,7{size},12{perms},7{uname}..,-7{gname}..
set statusline="%1* %t %2* %3*%{filetype('.')} %T %= %a / %c | %d %2*%1* %E "
elseif &columns > 81
only
set viewcolumns=-{name}..,7{size},12{perms},7{uname}..,-7{gname}..
set statusline="%1* %t %2* %3*%{filetype('.')} %T %N%= %a / %c | %d %2*%1* %E "
else
only
set viewcolumns=-{name}..,
set statusline=" "
set rulerformat=" "
endif
" Toggles the preview window
command toggle :
\| if layoutis('only')
\| restart
\| else
\| view
\| only
\| endif
" Changes the current directory to the fuzzy finded file's directory and then opens it
command! FZFFindFilesOnly : set noquickview
\| let $FZF_PICK = term('find -type f | fzf 2>/dev/tty')
\| if $FZF_PICK != ''
\| execute 'goto' fnameescape($FZF_PICK)
\| execute 'edit' fnameescape(system('basename "$FZF_PICK"'))
\| endif
" In case you want to fuzzy find both directories and regular files
command! FZFFind : set noquickview
\| let $FZF_PICK = term('find | fzf 2>/dev/tty')
\| if $FZF_PICK != ''
\| let $IS_DIR = system('[ -d "$FZF_PICK" ] && echo true || echo false')
\| if $IS_DIR == 'true'
\| execute 'cd' fnameescape($FZF_PICK)
\| else
\| execute 'goto' fnameescape($FZF_PICK)
\| execute 'edit' fnameescape(system('basename "$FZF_PICK"'))
\| endif
\| endif
" Good to have keybindings
nnoremap <c-f> :FZFFindFilesOnly<cr>
nnoremap T :tree depth=2<cr>
nnoremap B :toggle<cr>
nnoremap E :!nohup $TERMINAL -e tmux-ide %f &>/dev/null & disown<cr>
```
</details>
### Usage
Depending on your preference:
- Run `tmux` inside a terminal, then press `Ctrl-e` to create an editor window.
- Run `tmux-ide [optional file or directory path]` inside a terminal. It automatically creates an editor window.
- Inside Vifm, select a file or project directory, then press `Shift-e` to open a terminal that will execute `tmux-ide <the selected file or directory path>`
After that, you can press `Ctrl-b` to toggle the file manager or press `Ctrl-t` to toggle a terminal window.
