I tried these, and they seem to mainly be opening Claude Code in a pane in Vim, along with commands to open the pane. It’s missing the features added to the Emacs version like open file awareness, access to text selection, and integrated diff for changes.

It would be really interesting to see a version which exposes Vim as an MCP. I would love to see Claude Code work on the active file, reading from open buffers, typing Vim motions, and taking advantage of Vim features like find/replace and macros. It would be closer to the real pair programming experience, whereas the read and write experience is slow and disjointed from editing.

I have tried the CodeCompanion plugin and had good results. I don't use it super extensively but it's nice when I decide to try it.

Avante - https://github.com/yetone/avante.nvim. Admittedly I haven't had time to keep up with it's changes and as a result have gone back to VS Code + Copilot, but it's very well integrated last I did use it.

I gave Avante a fair try for about a week and my opinion is that it's not really ready for big time yet. Lots of bugs, slow, and cumbersome. Now I just use Claude Code in a separate tmux pane and its great.

I just like having a neovim terminal open with claude code open

I think that’s a decent approach, but doesn’t the performance of a Neovim terminal bother you? It simply does not feel as good as a native terminal pane. It’s not as bad as VSCode’s terminal pane, but it still leaves something to be desired.

Out of curiosity, do you have a good flow for having a file buffer automatically update in response to claude's changes? I'm perpetually needing to remember to `:e!<CR>` to read the updated file.

they how do you say. look at these lines of code to claude?
