Today I wrote a script to quickly search, delete and add new tmux session with the power of fzf. The --bind flag of fzf took me quite some time to debug because of many escape backslashes I needed to add. Here’s the script #!/bin/bash # ~/.local/bin/tmux-session-manager FIND_DEFAULT_COMMAND="tmux list-sessions | sed -E 's/:.*$//' | grep -v \"^$(tmux display-message -p '#S')\$\"" tmux list-sessions | sed -E 's/:.*$//' | grep -v "^$(tmux display-message -p '#S')$"\ | fzf --reverse --bind "ctrl-x:execute(tmux kill-session -t {})+reload(${FIND_DEFAULT_COMMAND})"\ --bind "ctrl-n:execute(bash -c 'read -p \"Name: \" name; tmux new -d -s \"\$name\"')+reload(${FIND_DEFAULT_COMMAND})" \ --bind "ctrl-r:reload(${FIND_DEFAULT_COMMAND})"\ --header 'Enter: switch session | Ctrl-X: kill session | Ctrl-N: new session | Ctrl-R: refresh list'\ | xargs tmux switch-client -t And I bind it into s key to overwrite the default tmux behavior.
