DESCRIPTION:
nvux opens files in an existing Neovim instance running
within a tmux session. It searches for active Neovim processes in the
current tmux session and opens the specified file in that instance.
If no existing Neovim instance is found, nvux will create one in a new pane.
When not running within a tmux session, nvux falls back to launching
regular Neovim.
EXAMPLES:
nvux # Open nvim in existing tmux instance
nvux file.txt # Open file.txt
nvux file.txt +25 # Open file.txt and jump to line 25
nvux /path/to/script.sh +1 # Open script.sh and jump to first line
