A fuzzy Tmux session manager with preview capabilities, deleting, renaming and more!
Add this to your .tmux.conf
and run Ctrl-I
for TPM to install the plugin.
set -g @plugin 'omerxx/tmux-sessionx'
The default binding for this plugin is <prefix>+O
You can change it by adding this line with your desired key:
# I recommend using `o` if not already in use, for least key strokes when launching
set -g @sessionx-bind '<mykey>'
# `C-x` is a customizeable, by default it indexes directories in `$HOME/.config`,
# but this can be changed by adding the config below.
# e.g. set -g @sessionx-x-path '~/dotfiles'
set -g @sessionx-x-path '<some-path>'
# A comma delimited absolute-paths list of custom paths
# always visible in results and ready to create a session from.
# Tip: if you're using zoxide mode, there's a good chance this is redundant
set -g @sessionx-custom-paths '/Users/me/projects,/Users/me/second-brain'
# By default, the current session will not be shown on first view
# This is to support quick switch of sessions
# Only after other actions (e.g. rename) will the current session appear
# Setting this option to 'false' changes this default behavior
set -g @sessionx-filter-current 'false'
# Window mode can be turned on so that the default layout
# Has all the windows listed rather than sessions only
set -g @sessionx-window-mode 'on'
# Preview location and screenspace can be adjusted with these
# Reminder: it can be toggeled on/off with `?`
set -g @sessionx-preview-location 'right'
set -g @sessionx-preview-ratio '55%'
# Change window dimensions
set -g @sessionx-window-height '90%'
set -g @sessionx-window-width '75%'
# When set to 'on' a non-result will be sent to zoxide for path matching
# Requires zoxide installed
set -g @sessionx-zoxide-mode 'on'
Launching the plugin pops up an fzf-tmux "popup" with fizzy search over existing session (-current session). If you insert a non-existing name and hit enter, a new session with that name will be created.

This was only tested on one, macOs machine. It is also not designed to use outside Tmux and is tailored to fit my needs. That said, please feel free to open issues with bugs / additions you'd like to see.
