+# zterm-navigator
+
+Seamless navigation between Neovim windows and ZTerm terminal panes.
+
+## Features
+
+- Navigate between Neovim splits using `Alt+Arrow` keys
+- When there's no Neovim window in that direction, automatically navigate to the next ZTerm pane
+- Works bidirectionally - you can navigate from shell to Neovim and back
+
+## Requirements
+
+- [ZTerm](https://github.com/yourusername/zterm) terminal emulator
+- Neovim 0.7+
+
+## Installation
+
+### Using lazy.nvim
+
+```lua
+{
+  "yourusername/zterm-navigator",
+  config = function()
+    require("zterm-navigator").setup()
+  end,
+}
+```
+
+### Using packer.nvim
+
+```lua
+use {
+  "yourusername/zterm-navigator",
+  config = function()
+    require("zterm-navigator").setup()
+  end,
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+```lua
+require("zterm-navigator").setup({
+  -- Default keybindings (set to false to disable)
+  left = "<A-Left>",
+  right = "<A-Right>",
+  up = "<A-Up>",
+  down = "<A-Down>",
+})
+```
+
+## ZTerm Configuration
+
+Make sure your ZTerm config (`~/.config/zterm/config.json`) has matching keybindings:
+
+```json
+{
+  "keybindings": {
+    "focus_pane_up": "alt+up",
+    "focus_pane_down": "alt+down",
+    "focus_pane_left": "alt+left",
+    "focus_pane_right": "alt+right"
+  },
+  "pass_keys_to_programs": ["nvim", "vim"]
+}
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. When you press `Alt+Arrow` in Neovim:
+   - The plugin checks if there's a Neovim window in that direction
+   - If yes, it navigates to that window using `wincmd`
+   - If no, it sends an OSC 51 escape sequence to ZTerm
+
+2. ZTerm receives the OSC sequence and navigates to the neighboring pane
+
+3. When you press `Alt+Arrow` in a shell (non-Neovim):
+   - ZTerm checks `pass_keys_to_programs` - since it's not Neovim, ZTerm handles navigation directly
+
+## Protocol
+
+The plugin communicates with ZTerm using OSC (Operating System Command) sequences:
+
+```
+OSC 51 ; navigate ; <direction> BEL
+```
+
+Where `<direction>` is one of: `up`, `down`, `left`, `right`.
