I am doing this question because its latest commit is since 2 years ago, so I donβt have idea about its current status. Therefore I want to know if I can install it and use it in peace.
I have no experience with tmux.
I use session saving in Xfce to restore things after shutdown. It brings back the windows with their histories and their current working directory, and restores the browser with its content, but if I had a vi or a julia window active, it does not restore the active editing session⦠so I presume it would be the same with tmux⦠it would bring a tmux window back, but not its content ?
Your tmux-resurrect plugin is supposed to restore the content?
I need Tmux to be used in Server Environment. Thus there is no xfce
Your tmux-resurrect plugin is supposed to restore the content?
According with a simple research I did do: is restored all the sessions including their Windows with their respective panes
Furthermore theoretically is possible reuse it in other machine. Therefore if exists other Server as mirror and is need it re-use all the sessions with all the respective mentioned layouts, is possible
Iβve used tmux a bit. The default hotkey is ctrl-b and then you would type βaβ to attach to an existing session. I have not created multiple tmux sessions so I canβt speak to that, but it sounds like you should be able to list the sessions and then attach to a particular one.
I can say that it doesnβt seem to allow you to just simply scroll backwards and see previous output. You just see what is on the screen at the time. Iβve seen some mention of ways to do that, but I donβt have a reference for you.
Ctrl b [
then use arrow keys to scroll
then βenterβ to get bsck to normal mode
I am no expert⦠I used tmux once to make vim talk to the julia REPL⦠scrolling was essential⦠it is about the only thing I learnt.
Have abandoned all that complicated nonsense with Julia⦠I just use vi and copypaste into the REPL.
I find I am more productive in coding without all the fancy tools
I use tmux for home and work (to keep remote sessions to servers βaliveβ if I lose my connectionβ¦
Scrolling isnβt idealβ¦ Iβll sometimes have a 2nd session to the same server for scrolling through log files etcβ¦ Ctrl+B+[ is a kludge, or it feels like oneβ¦ It feels like Iβve travelled back in time 25 years and using a Wyse or DEC VT100 connected to a UNIX server over serialβ¦ *
I know about Ctrl+B, and also Ctrl+B+D (to disconnect but leave session running).
But Iβm getting lazy since I started re-using my bash script yoyo.bash :
* funny story - tangent : one company I worked for didnβt supply a laptop or serial cables or anything - and I occasionally had to do stuff on Cisco routers - so - it was all in the same physical βprecinctβ are - Iβd carry a DEC VT100 from one place to another on foot, to hook up to Cisco routersβ¦
Just being curious, if you have tmux with many sessions with their respective windows and them with their panes (even with specific layouts) being complex. Did you create all that structure with a simple script?
My point is it seems you never played with tmux-resurrect
