Fuzzy-switching Tmux Sessions with Ease
jdhao.github.io
During my work, I use multiple Tmux sessions to manage different projects. When I create a new session, I usually give it unique name so that I know that the project is about via the session name.

I found this post really helpful to anyone who is using tmux

    If you’re using Neovim as well as tmux, telescope-tmux is pretty awesome for switching sessions, windows and more.

      Very nice, thanks. But I’m not always inside neovim to use this plugin tho

        You don’t have to already be inside of Neovim.

        Tmux 3.2’s new display-popup command is a neat way to access the telescope picker when you are outside of Neovim.

        source: https://github.com/camgraff/telescope-tmux.nvim#use-with-tmux-display-popup

        You can just set up a keybinding, and a new instance of Neovim will start in a popup window inside of Tmux.

        There’s a fractional delay while Neovim starts up, but I find it well within tolerance, personally.

    I’ve only used the builtin choose-session, and haven’t had the need for anything more (I usually only have one session, maybe 3 at most) but this gives me ideas to iterate over all open panes with previews given by fzf --preview 'tmux capture-pane -p -t {}'.

      Yeah, whatever fits you, I usually open each repo in seperated session with tmux-sessionizer so fuzzy find session is useful
