And if you have lot of projects open, like I usually do, I would suggest tmux-fzf to switch between them.
How do I navigate between my projects located at different places with fzf in tmux?
2 projects | /r/tmux | 6 Sep 2022

So I have recently moved to tmux and I find it amazing, I would like to be able to navigate across my projects that I am working on assuming that all of my projects are not in home directory. I think that should be fairly easy to do with some sort of an existing plugin. Basically I am looking for something like https://github.com/sainnhe/tmux-fzf but I want to be able to move across my projects. Is there something already available to achieve this?

I have tmux shortcut ctrl+a ctrl+wso I can fuzzy search my projects/tabs. I found about that fuzzy search plugin 8 months ago and it's been awesome addition to my tmux config as it's very quick to jump to different project.

how to create a pop-up menu, where i can apply a keybinding.
1 project | /r/tmux | 17 Apr 2021

This tool has been very handy for the actions that I need to do in tmux every now and again but the ones that I would forget a keybind for if I created one.

what terminal emulator would you recommend?
2 projects | /r/archlinux | 11 Dec 2023

wezterm is pretty good, I've been using it for a long time without any issues. The feature set is honestly huge and I'm probably using 10% of the capabilities, but I like having a lot of options.
wezterm suddenly stopped working.
