I'm trying to figure out how to get vim
and tmux
play together.
My problem is:
When I use xterm-256color
I get vim
to work nicely, but the background doesn't render properly.
I fixed this by using screen-256color
. This looks nice but breaks the Ctrl + arrow keys
(they go in insert mode and delete 4 lines). I want to use these mappings instead to switch tabs in vim
.
How do I get this to work?

Run
cat
withintmux
and press the keys in question to find out the escape codes they generate. For me this gives^[[D
and^[[C
. Then just map those escape codes directly.where the
^[
is an escape character, that you can insert by pressing<CTRL-v><ESC>
in vim.
