with the release of nvim 0.5 I started using a terminal based setup, which is just a full screen terminal with tmux split in usually vertically, one big terminal on the left and 1|2 on the right.

On the past I've tried similar setups to no avail, but what changed this time was that I completely threw out the "religious" ideal of "evil-mouse" and turned on mouse support on both tmux and nvim and it's awesome!

Everything that I use often enough I made a keybinding for it but I'm perfectly happy selecting text or scrolling with the mouse on vim/tmux.

I've been using this for a while on personal Zig projects thought, for professional stuff that I just need to finish it, Jetbrains rules!

This is basically what I do too:

Tmux, vim, and some tmux-fu to enable copy-on-select with the mouse.
