tmux-continuum VS tmux-prefix-highlight

tmux has these 2 plugins to add the auto-save/restore functionality:

- https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum

I use https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum and https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect to restore all my tmux sessions if I reboot my machine or kill tmux.

tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum are the utils I use to persist sessions across reboots. They have keybinds and options to make it either automatic or manual, but they save EVERYTHING down to the Neovim session (if you use those) for the session's working directory

And to save and restore tmux sessions automatically, I use tmux-resurrect + tmux-continuum.

You must use all 3 of: tmux-continuum tmux-resurrect vim-obsession

tmux-resurrect is my most important one, and thanks for mentioning tmux-continuum, which is new to me.

I use tmux-continuum for that. Works really well. What are you missing?

I dug around in the source code of a few plugins (tmux-prefix-highlight, tmux_mode_indicator) and found out that the parameter I am looking for is called pane_in_mode. This parameter is not documented in the man page for tmux on RHEL7, but the parameter seems to be present and works for what I am after. So this little snippet turns my status-left blue if the window is zoomed, pink if the prefix is active, and yellow in copy mode:

this worked for me
