- Add modernized tmux.conf: C-a prefix, Fish shell, Catppuccin Frappe theme, TPM plugin manager, true color support for Ghostty, and vim-tmux-navigator for seamless pane switching - Add vim-tmux-navigator nvim plugin for C-h/j/k/l navigation across both nvim splits and tmux panes - Update toggleterm terminal keymaps to use TmuxNavigate commands instead of raw wincmd, so navigation works from terminal buffers too - Add tmux.conf symlink to Ansible playbook https://claude.ai/code/session_01XGAkWd2qoS56cLPZ6rf4Xy
Fish config now auto-creates or reattaches to a tmux session named "main" when launched inside Ghostty. Skipped when already inside tmux, inside nvim terminal buffers, or in non-interactive contexts. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XGAkWd2qoS56cLPZ6rf4Xy
Quick reference for navigating between Ghostty tabs and tmux windows/panes, including the custom keybinds from tmux.conf. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XGAkWd2qoS56cLPZ6rf4Xy
Clones TPM (tmux plugin manager) and runs plugin installation so vim-tmux-navigator and catppuccin theme are deployed automatically. Wired into the main playbook with a `tmux` tag. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XGAkWd2qoS56cLPZ6rf4Xy
- Set allow-rename off in tmux so manual window names stick instead of being overridden by shell escape sequences - Unbind super+t and super+n in Ghostty since tmux handles all tab/window management https://claude.ai/code/session_01XGAkWd2qoS56cLPZ6rf4Xy
Remove Ghostty tabs/windows section and the "when to use what" table since Cmd-T and Cmd-N are now unbound. All window management goes through tmux. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XGAkWd2qoS56cLPZ6rf4Xy

Summary
This PR adds tmux configuration and integrates vim-tmux-navigator for seamless navigation between tmux panes and Neovim windows using consistent keybindings.
Key Changes
New tmux configuration (
tmux/tmux.conf):C-awith custom keybindingsu(vertical) andi(horizontal)New Neovim plugin configuration (
nvim/lua/plugins/tmux-navigator.lua):C-h/j/k/lkeybindings for cross-pane/window navigationUpdated toggleterm keybindings (
