Yesterday I improved my tmux workflow. Chris Toomey offers some fantastic customization options for your tmux configuration:
My favorite is the “fuzzy session switching”. Using this option, you can search your tmux session easily with approximate string matching.
I use fzy:
Here is the modified script (add it to ~/.tmux.conf):
# Fuzzy tmux session switching
bind w split-window -v "tmux list-sessions | sed -E 's/:.*$//' | grep -v \"^$(tmux display-message -p '#S')\$\" | fzy | xargs tmux switch-client -t"
What it does:
- use
<prefix> was the key binding - opens a vertical tmux pane
- list the name of the sessions except the current session
- pipes these names to fzy
- pipes these to the tmux switch-client command (instead of standard output)
I highly encourage you to check out the other examples for your tmux configuration.
