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!
