Leave TMUX and Vim Buffers Separated

I thought using the Vim plugin that automatically combines Vim’s primary buffer with the TMUX buffer would be a good idea. It’s just not. The reason is because I’ve come to use both buffers simultaneously. For example, let’s say you grab some test output and went to dump it into your unit test case but need to make some room first. You switch to your test window and use the normal Leader-[ to grab it. Then you switch back to your unit test code and realize you need to make some room and clean stuff up before the paste. So you start deleting and such. But every time you do you fill the main Vim buffer, you know, the one that would have contained your TMUX content if you were using the naive plugin. So then when I go to Leader-] and paste there’s nothing there except for what I just deleted in Vim. So this looks like yet another case where not adding extra shit is what you really want, surprise, surprise.
