Move commits up and down within TMUX

[baggiponte]

Hi! I use a lot lazygit to rearrange commits (dope feature) with ctrl-j/k. I recently switched to tmux and I use ctrl-h/j/k/l to move around panes (through vim-tmux-navigator). The result is I cannot currently rearrange commits. What shortcuts would you replace them with? Thanks!

I have the same "problem", but instead of remapping I just run <tmux-prefix>:send-keys c-j and it works. It's easier than opening up the menu with ? and selecting Move commit down/up one.

How does it not create a conflict with c-j being a way to swap within panes in tmux?

[mark2185]

Depends on how the keys are mapped in the first place, e.g. I have this in my .tmux.conf:

bind -n C-j if "$is_vim" "send-keys C-j"  "select-pane -D"
bind -n C-k if "$is_vim" "send-keys C-k"  "select-pane -U"

The bind isn't recursive so explicitly sending C-j doesn't go through the same process.

Oh I did not know about if! How can I define a $is_lazygit?

This seems to work

# use c-k/c-j to move commits up/down within lazygit
is_lg="ps -o state= -o comm= -t '#{pane_tty}' | grep -iqE '^[^TXZ ]+ +(\\S+\\/)?lazygit$'"

bind -n C-j if "$is_lg" "send-keys C-j"  "select-pane -D"
bind -n C-k if "$is_lg" "send-keys C-k"  "select-pane -U"

Thank you!

This a bit simpler variation should work too (works for me):

bind -n C-j if-shell "[ #{pane_current_command} = lazygit ]" "send-keys C-j"  "select-pane -D"
bind -n C-k if-shell "[ #{pane_current_command} = lazygit ]" "send-keys C-k"  "select-pane -U"
