How to Integrate Claude Code with Neovim Using Ghostty Terminal Panes

If you’re a Neovim user feeling left out watching everyone use Claude Code with VS Code, here’s my dead simple solution: three terminal panes.

The Setup

One Ghostty window, three panes:

• Left: Claude Code
• Right: Neovim
• Bottom: Terminal

The Configuration

Add these to your Ghostty config:

keybind = ctrl+h=goto_split:left
keybind = ctrl+j=goto_split:bottom
keybind = ctrl+k=goto_split:top
keybind = ctrl+l=goto_split:right

Now use Control + vim keys to jump between panes instantly. No mouse, no window switching.

Why It Works

This setup eliminates the need for VS Code or Cursor. You keep your Neovim config, your muscle memory, and gain AI assistance exactly when you need it.

Getting Started

1. Install Ghostty (or any terminal with panes)
2. Add the keybindings
3. Open three panes
4. Start Claude Code, Neovim, and a terminal

That’s it. We get all the CC goodness without losing vim!
