Prerequisits 🛠️

Install 💻

Add this to your .tmux.conf and run Ctrl-I for TPM to install the plugin.

set -g @plugin 'omerxx/tmux-sessionx'

Configure ⚙️

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>'

Additional configuration options:

# `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'

Working with SessionX 👷

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.

  • C-x will delete the selected session
  • C-u scroll preview up
  • C-d scroll preview down
  • C-r "read": will launch a read prompt to rename a session within the list
  • C-w "window": will reload the list with all the available windows and their preview
  • C-a will fuzzy read ~/.config or a configureable path of your choice (with @session-x-path)
  • C-e "expand": will expand PWD and search for local directories to create additional session from
  • C-b "back": reloads the first query. Useful when going into window or expand mode, to go back
  • C-t "tree": reloads the preview with the tree of sessions+windows familiar from the native session manager (C-S)
  • ? toggles the preview pane

WARNING ⚠️

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.

Thanks ❤️
