i3-vim-focus's Issues

i3-vim-focus: command not found

Followed the instructions by adding the settings in .vimrc, .bashrc and compiled the rust package.

$ cd ~/.vim/bundle/i3-vim-focus/i3-vim-focus/src
$ i3-vim-focus left
-bash: i3-vim-focus: command not found

Not an issue :) rather potential improvement

First of I want to thank you for this wonderful plugin! It does the job perfectly and I am super happy with it.

I ran into an interesting situation today.
I had to run VIM on remote server, which I was connected to via SSH with X forwarding.
When I tried to move away from my remote VIM instance I got stuck.

The reason for that is that i3-msg was executing on remote host and could not do IPC communication via socket that was opened on my local machine.
This happens because VIM part of the plugin executes on whatever host VIM is running, in my case remote host.

And so I was thinking and realized that you don't really need VIM plugin portion at all, rather you can replace it with something like this in your rust program:

        let remoteexpr = format!(
            "execute('exe \"let oldw = winnr() | wincmd {} | let neww = winnr() | echo oldw - neww \"')",
            direction.to_vim_direction()
            );

        let vim_result = 
            Command::new(&vim) // XXX hard-coded path
            .args(&["--servername", &servername[..], "--remote-expr", &remoteexpr[..]])
            .stdout(Stdio::piped())
            .output()
            .expect("ran vim command")
            .stdout;

        let vim_window_diff : i32 =
            String::from_utf8(vim_result)
            .unwrap()
            .trim()
            .parse()
            .unwrap();
            
        if vim_window_diff != 0 {
            return;
        }

And now based on the vim_window_diff you either done or you falling through to call i3 from rust program.
This way i3 part always executes on the hosts where i3 is running.

Not working, what to try?

Hi!

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on my configuration.

I made sure to have the vim bindings configured (`gw+direction) as well as setting the window name to VIM (set titlestring=VIM). I also have the bindings on i3 config, and my vim is compiled with python support.

Anything else I could check/try?

Thanks!
Antonio

Stops working if vim is focused

As soon as vim/gvim gets focus, the function stops working. Any idea what else I could try?
