Tmux sessionist
Lightweight tmux utilities for manipulating tmux sessions.
Tested and working on Linux, OSX and Cygwin.
Problem(s)
Sessions are a second class citizen in tmux environment:
- there are no default key bindings for creating or deleting sessions
- creating a session is cumbersome, just try
tmux new-session -s name
inside tmux (hint: you first have to detach) - deleting (killing) current session by default detaches tmux (why?)
- no fast way for session switching when there's more than ~5 sessions
This plugin solves the above problems.
Features
-
prefix + g
- prompts for session name and switches to it. Performs 'kind-of' name completion.
Faster than the built-inprefix + s
prompt for long session lists. -
prefix + C
(shift + c) - prompt for creating a new session by name. -
prefix + X
(shift + x) - kill current session without detaching tmux. -
prefix + S
(shift + s) - switches to the last session.
The same as built-inprefix + L
that everyone seems to override with some other binding. -
prefix + @
- promote current pane into a new session.
Analogous to howprefix + !
breaks current pane to a new window. -
prefix + t<secondary-key>
- join currently marked pane (prefix + m
) to current session/window, and switch to it- secondary-keys
