Waylon WalkerQuickly getting between tmux splits is critical skill for productivity. You
can get by with next or prev session for awhile, but if you have more than
about three session you need something a bit more targeted.
Full Screen selector
I have used this fzf one keybinding for quite awhile, honestly I did not make
it up, and cannot remember where it came from. It will open up a session picker
in a new full screen window.
bash
bind C-j new-window -n "session-switcher" "tmux list-sessions | sed -E 's/:.*$//' | grep -v \"^$(tmux display-message -p '#S')\$\" | fzf --reverse | xargs tmux switch-client -t"
Popup selector
Like with many of my keybindings I have swapped this one out for a popup
version. It just feels so smooth.
bash
bind C-j display-popup -E "tmux list-sessions | sed -E 's/:.*$//' | grep -v \"^$(tmux display-message -p '#S')\$\" | fzf --reverse | xargs tmux switch-client -t"
