Navigate vim splits in kitty terminal and other windows with the same skhd keybinds. Window manager yabai.

init.vim

" The (neo)vim function that takes care of navigation within vim.
" Same concept as vim-tmux-navigator. If we navigate in the wanted
" direction and the winnr() hasn't changed, then we are at the edge
" and should forward the navigation to the window manager.

function! NvimYabaiNavigate(yabai_direction, vim_direction)
    let win_nr_before = winnr()
    execute("wincmd " . a:vim_direction)
    if win_nr_before ==# winnr()
        call system("yabai -m window --focus " . a:yabai_direction)
    endif
endfunction

skhdrc

# Focus window/vim split to the left/west using keybind alt - h.
# Same concept for other directions, just change west to south/north/east and h to e.g. j/k/l.
# This assumes that kitty is listening on the address `unix:/tmp/mykitty`.

alt - h [
    "kitty" : if [ "$(kitty @ --to unix:/tmp/mykitty ls | jq '.[] | select(.is_focused) | .tabs[].windows[].foreground_processes[].cmdline[] | select(. == "nvim")' | wc -l)" -eq 1 ];\
              then kitty @ --to unix:/tmp/mykitty send-text :call NvimYabaiNavigate\(\'west\',\'h\'\)\\x0d;\
              else yabai -m window --focus west; fi
    *       : yabai -m window --focus west
]

This solution is slow! It seems that kitty @ ls and kitty @ send-text takes the most time. Would be nice to speed it up.
