I built the tmux-sessionizer (tms) tool. Kinda blew my mind to just see it pop up on a youtube video that I was watching. Awesome video!

Using tmux for quite some years now and I'm very happy to see it popping more often in youtube videos, people must know this awesome tool !

[@kylejamesross]

Nice looking tmux. Might apply some of these styles to my own config. 🙂I have been using the tmux sessionizer for over a year. It is a really game changer in terms of productivity.

[@devopstoolbox]

Nice! Which one? The prime's? Or some other sessionizer? How do you use it daily?

[@BLUYES422]

Just found your channel, great stuff! I recently switched from vscode + vim binds to lazyvim and I'm so happy to live in the terminal. Tmux is so useful but I never liked the default binds so this video is really helpful!

[@devopstoolbox]

Thanks buddy! Let me know how it goes and whether you have any questions!

[@kirsanov2008]

still don't understand why people use "clear" if there is the ctrl+L shortcut

[@devopstoolbox]

I have “cl” mapped that’s easier for me, but in videos I found out people don’t always know shortcuts and this saves questions ;)

[@zherka_pill]

If i know how to change i would

[@mjscpr]

It’s maybe better for screen shares to avoid excessive shortcuts.

[@vivekjha8688]

I use vim-tmux-navigator and ctrl+L gets mapped to “move right pane” - more useful imo

[@stroiman.development]

12:22 it appears that it was the intention to link to another video, when you say, "If that's your style, you can check this video out" - but no link appears - and a few seconds later a link to your channel page, not a video. Curious what it was. I think I have a pretty decent and usable tmux config, but always curious to see what other people have setup. E.g., I just added the zoom icon to my title while watching this video. Though I'm currently working on a tool to manage sessions - a bit like tmuxinator - but more focused on rearranging windows and panes to suit the task you're working on. E.g. working on back-end code, the test runner is very much in focus, while making the UI look right, the test runner is hidden away to make room for a browser; until I need to implement the behaviour again.

[@devopstoolbox]

As for the video link - for some reason it didn't show so I also added it to the last segment above the channel's icon, this is the direct link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZquZkp6eg96aq9ksi=ropNpeu2xMnnH0ML As for a session manager - checkout github.com/omerxx/tmux-sessionx I also made a video covering that recently!

how do u get those nice rounded window tabs in tmux? Edit: Ah, it's a catpuccin setting

[@SethMesser]

Question for you, at t=75s, neovim for me has jagged output from line breaks and other oddities, so it doesn't necessarily render all that well for me for pane output. Did you have to do anything special for your nvim config to allow tmux to sanely render nvim? great vid!

[@devopstoolbox]

Thanks! I’m trying to think. I guess my best suggestion is to take a quick look at my dotfiles, under tmux.conf you’ll find a couple of terminal setting that may do the trick. Although I’m not 100% sure what’s the issue you’re facing it sounds like this could help - dotfiles.omerxx.con Under tmux/tmux.conf

[@HarryRybacki]

[@a_maxed_out_handle_of_30_chars]

excellent, i thought of doing something similar but the issue was i could not create new session on the fly meaning if you search for session name and it's not present then it should create new session with the inputted name like you did at 10:55, but I was not able to implement it I'm using `tmux list-sessions | fzf` and it shows the active sessions but for non-matching input it returns blank :( so I tried reading your script and could not understand how you're doing this, is the new session being handled in `input` or `additional_input` in your script? thank you for the excellent work :)

[@devopstoolbox]

Thanks! Two options- 1. Use the plugin :) and open an issue if you need / want additions 2. Do it yourself - to use the query even if not matching a result, fzf offers a feature of printing query anyway which I then grab and based on whether the session exists or not, decide whether to create it or switch

[@wznzgq1354]

why are you using prefix ctrl+a later in the video?

[@devopstoolbox]

I used to have an HHKB (keyboard) and got used to having Ctrl where Capslock is. Ever since I'm remapping every board that way and I use it as Ctrl for everything I do, having 'a' right next to it and server as everything-tmux is amazing and in my muscle memory

[@hypario]

the big issue that I have with tmux, is the keybindings to do most stuff, you have to go through a prefix, which I really don't like, then I can't have the keybinds I want, like ctrl + arrow keys to navigate through my panes or ctrl + a number to go to a window all of that needs to go through that prefix, which is really bothering to me

[@devopstoolbox]

I understand, and for a while I thought the same and hacked around it by sending keyboard combos that were interpreted as a prefix + my target action. With time, I figured this approach quickly gets out of hand with conflicting bindings. I have tmux, nvim, wezterm, raycast and not to mention macOS native bindings. (Not to mention further my keyboard combos and shortcuts burned into the board). So, I now think in “layers”, exactly like the keyboard layers dedicated for different scenarios and uses this is how I like other tools to behave. This doesn’t mean you can’t go and bypass it, it’s just an approach…

[@hypario]

​@@devopstoolbox I usually use tmux whenever I don't even have a desktop environment (for example, my dedicated servers or my home lab) so those don't really apply to me :D, I have no keybindings except those from the terminals

why ctrl + b is called prefix? Please explain sir. I know it is very basic.

[@devopstoolbox]

Ctrl + b is simply a shortcut I don't use, I think it doesn't make sense. If you're a tmux user, at some point you probably have gotten used to not having ctrl b as an option. Over time moved that to 'a', but was already used to clearing with other methods. More over, My Ctrl is mapped to caps lock key where it makes far more sense for the fingers to reach. This is why Ctrl b became very streneous to use. 'cl' is my soltution, yet I don't use it often to prevent questions or to distract viewers.

Nice video!, I'll look into your plugins. I too made my own version of tmuxsessionizer ^^, but I switch sessions from inside nvim (launching a tmux popup with fzf), it's pretty simple so I don't need any dependencies, and I only use project folders as sessions names, so I don't really need more features. ThePrimeagen's script really changed my workflow for the better. The only downside is I can't use tmux in windows (for unreal engine development). I'm trying to get another way to "sessionize" vim without tmux.

[@devopstoolbox]

So that's actually what I do with but instead of a tmux popup - an fzf-tmux box which just looks nicer and does the same job. I had to have management tooling within it like all CRUD ops on my sessions. I was inspired by many tools one of which is the prime's but felt like I need a bit MORE - I'm working on K8s development and need a lot of additional consoles not necessarily running vim...

tmux is better when we are inside a tty or ssh session, or using some graphical windows manager like gnome.... but, for me it's not useful for tailing windows manager like i3 (dwm, ....), it's very hard to manage GUI/panne with tmux, move a Gui/panne to another tag/session... because the i3/dwm tag could have Gui+terminal, but the session has only a view of terminals.

ngl, tmux was kind of my main reason for quitting vscode and switching to vim, [thought vim itself ofc, was a also on the first place] after leaning like, 3-4 new shortcuts, managing projects in tmux is just, super easy.

Hmm I don’t think it’s a reason to hate it. TBH, I’m using multiple remote systems everyday in my line of work and I’ve yet to find myself on a machine that either didn’t have tmux or couldn’t install it in one min. The exception would be blacksite / isolated network deployments and these are rare enough for me to never think about. Also, usually the raw ones that don’t have tmux don’t have vi/vim either 🤷 All that said, this is addressing those who use tmux for their local environment

@@devopstoolbox understand your points. I have ran into this problem on few appliances that I supported in the past. They would have vi and/or just screen. So If I only new nano and tmux. It makes my job a little harder to have to learn on the fly via Google but it can be done. I kind of gave up on what would not be default installed on most builds just because having to learn another thing. While vi and screen would do the job and was defaulted alot more than nano and tmux. That was what I was getting at more than anything.

Beautiful tmux config! I'm on Ubuntu and I have a few questions if I may. How does the calendar work? I have a blank space where you have a palm tree. Also, how do you get the highlighting in your shell command output and in your editor? e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXmWnKOpl8d4iNE

[@devopstoolbox]

Thank you! As for the palm tree - make sure you have the font that has them installed (nerd font) and a terminal that renders them (mine is wezterm), and lastly make sure you have the config setup correctly with the custom plugin. Specifically the palm icon is a calendar plugin I hacked myself (not release-ready in any way) that requires a few other tools installed like iCalBuddy to interact with my local calendar. Since you’re on Linux, if you want the same functionality you’d have to chance the script to a CLI that can interact with yours… Re highlight, I’m assuming you referring to the “ls” output, which I replaced with exa. Bare in mind exa is no longer maintained and IIRC its successor is “eza”

[@phillpeters]

Thanks for the reply! And thanks to you I'm now using wezterm and eza, tmux is in beast mode (awesome session manager by the way) and everything is beautifully themed with catppuccin! I'm just missing one thing. My editor of choice is vscode but I make quick edits in the terminal using nano. Nano has highlighting for some languages but I noticed you have highlighting in vim for conf files as well. Is that something you configured or is vim just that great?

@@iaina3251 of course I did. But when my finger looks for the shift key, that is just the same size as any other, and there’s yet another key below, it’s hard to find without looking and getting used to. Plus, I rarely ever reach this key anyhow.

@@devopstoolbox Took me a while to get to used to my Ergodox as well. I have a key combo for muting MS teams, CTRL+Shift+M that if next to the H key. Great if I'm actually using teams, but 9 times out of 10 I'm in Firefox which switches it to responsive mobile view instead.
