You might want to use a consistent set of keys to move between panes of Vifm and tmux windows. Let's say you want to use <code>C-hjkl</code>. This requires configuring both tmux and Vifm.

== tmux part (Vim, fzf, Vifm) ==

The settings are from the README of the [https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator vim-tmux-navigator plugin] that in turn is "a repackaging of Mislav Marohnić's tmux-navigator configuration described in [https://gist.github.com/mislav/5189704 this gist]."

[https://www.bugsnag.com/blog/tmux-and-vim Keegan Lowenstein] expanded these to account for fzf.

Here's a version that accounts for Vifm as well (put into <code>~/.tmux.conf</code>):

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
is_vim="ps -o state= -o comm= -t '#{pane_tty}' \
| grep -iqE '^[^TXZ ]+ +(\\S+\\/)?g?(view|n?vim?x?)(diff)?$'"

is_fzf="ps -o state= -o comm= -t '#{pane_tty}' \
| grep -iqE '^[^TXZ ]+ +(\\S+\\/)?fzf$'"

is_vifm="ps -o state= -o comm= -t '#{pane_tty}' \
| grep -iqE '^[^TXZ ]+ +(\\S+\\/)?vifm$'"

bind -n C-h run "($is_vim && tmux send-keys C-h) || \
($is_vifm && tmux send-keys C-h) || \
tmux select-pane -L"

bind -n C-j run "($is_vim && tmux send-keys C-j) || \
($is_vifm && tmux send-keys C-j) || \
($is_fzf && tmux send-keys C-j) || \
tmux select-pane -D"

bind -n C-k run "($is_vim && tmux send-keys C-k) || \
($is_vifm && tmux send-keys C-k) || \
($is_fzf && tmux send-keys C-k) || \
tmux select-pane -U"

bind -n C-l run "($is_vim && tmux send-keys C-l) || \
($is_vifm && tmux send-keys C-l) || \
tmux select-pane -R"

bind-key -n C-\if-shell "$is_vim" "send-keys C-\\" "select-pane -l"
</syntaxhighlight>

== Vifm part ==

These mappings will switch tmux window when appropriately (put into <code>$MYVIFMRC</code>):

<syntaxhighlight lang="vim">
nnoremap <silent> <c-h> :if paneisat('left') | execute '!tmux select-pane -L %i' | else | execute 'wincmd h' | endif<cr>
nnoremap <silent> <c-j> :if paneisat('bottom') | execute '!tmux select-pane -D %i' | else | execute 'wincmd j' | endif<cr>
nnoremap <silent> <c-k> :if paneisat('top') | execute '!tmux select-pane -U %i' | else | execute 'wincmd k' | endif<cr>
nnoremap <silent> <c-l> :if paneisat('right') | execute '!tmux select-pane -R %i' | else | execute 'wincmd l' | endif<cr>
</syntaxhighlight>
