Display is not working in TMUX about vifm.vim

[xaizek]

Compare output of echo $TERM and locale inside and outside of tmux. $TERM should be tmux* (or if not available: screen*) and locale shouldn't differ and use UTF-8.

It seems I had to set the vifm_term to tmux if it's inside the tmux shell.

Also, it seems after I open SQL files the locale vars get changed to "C".

You're already in tmux, running it second time isn't really a good idea and tmux vifm won't actually work.

That might be the cause (similar issue was #48).

I learned more about this, it seems the issue is caused by this plugin, https://github.com/voldikss/vim-floaterm. I just don't know how it's changing the LANG vars. But I'm not 100% because what I've noticed is, when I open vifm for the first time inside VIM, it's okay. But once I open a file, that's when things go wonky.

Looks like it sets up environment variables here and something goes wrong (accidentally resets LC_* variables for example). If that's the issue, you should create an issue in that repository as it's only indirectly related to Vifm.

[neumachen]

So what exactly is the fix here? Remove the plugin? Because I think I did that already.

If the plugin causes this, it can probably be fixed. If it's not the plugin, need to find an actual cause. You can temporarily leave only vifm.vim and comment out contents of vimrc to see if anything changes.
