comment Vim hangs on escape
For my vim configuration (I compiled my Vim from source) the ttimeoutlen was set to -1 which means it will use the 1000ms timeoutlen for everything. I set it to (a pretty aggressive) 5ms and now it is finally free from "sticky escape".

That said I'll still mostly be using Sublime Text when on my macbook. There are actually more powerful plugins available for Vim, though Sublime also has a great plugin ecosystem as well. The run-of-the-mill IDE's i've used simply aren't configurable enough.

Well i already have 3 computers that I regularly switch between. They run different OS's. It's a challenge to synchronize settings effectively across the systems. I'll also mention that my question is about efficient keyboard based shortcuts for changing focus. GUI based IDEs don't even provide these features because they just don't care. I can already use my mouse to focus vim windows and tmux panes out of the box anyway. Browser-based IDEs are a great concept but in practice they are slow and very fragile, and therefore not reliable. A TTY, however, is pretty damn solid.

@romainl can you SSH into your IDE? that's really all there is to it. it's about the power and flexibility of it all. Once I get done with this (this endless configuring of vim and tmux into an all encompassing environment) I can toss my client machine in the lake and DGAF. All of a sudden my environment is not whatever I can fit on my desk or on my lap, but can be served directly out of beefy servers somewhere. It's probably a similar in motivation to those web browser IDE projects out there.

@romainl why should it stop? I think it should keep going. :)

comment Check if Vim has more than one window open
Awesome, so the way they got this working was to have vim call tmux back when there are no more vim windows in the specified direction. This is crazy because the command to switch windows originally comes from tmux to begin with! I didnt know vim could do that. It obsoletes my "does vim have more than 1 window open" question.
