Richardgill Nix Nvim

Open Files in Nvim

Open files in the running nvim instance connected to this tmux session.

Command

nvim --server "$NVIM_SOCKET" --remote <files...>

Environment

• $NVIM_SOCKET - Path to the nvim socket (set automatically in worktree sessions)

Examples

# Open a single file
nvim --server "$NVIM_SOCKET" --remote src/index.ts

# Open multiple files
nvim --server "$NVIM_SOCKET" --remote src/index.ts src/utils.ts

# Open file at specific line (use +line before filename)
nvim --server "$NVIM_SOCKET" --remote +42 src/index.ts

Troubleshooting

• Socket not set: Ensure you're in a worktree session, or manually set NVIM_SOCKET
• Connection refused: The nvim instance may have closed; restart nvim with v . --listen $NVIM_SOCKET
• File not opening: Verify the file path is correct and accessible

Notes

• The socket is set via tmux set-environment at session creation
• New panes/windows in the session inherit NVIM_SOCKET
