I like mixing the keyboard and mouse. Yes I know

set mouse=a

exists, but it provides only some basic actions. I was wondering if you could map the mouse to allow moving split window panes around - something which is painful to do by keyboard. Do you know of something like this?

@scy @ashwinvis @vim @neovim in my experience this works for *resizing* but not moving windows/panels around.

My solution to that is keyboard driven, but it's a plugin i wrote which allows swapping the currently focused window with a different one, by typing its letter.

I only tested it on vim, not neovim, but if it's possible to make it neovim compatible, i do welcome patches.

@tshirtman
Ooh... like a tiling window manager. I will check it out. I like the labelled popups in front of panes.

I see something similar written in Lua.

@ashwinvis @scy @vim @neovim oh the one you found seem more powerful than mine, behaving a lot more like i3wm, nice, sadly only neovim compatible, but it's nice to know it exists, panes management is really a pain point in vim when you open more than a couple of them.
