tmux-nested: a plugin for nested tmux workflows
2 projects | /r/commandline | 9 Dec 2023

Hi all, I just released tmux-nested, a plugin that lets you easily work with nested tmux sessions (often the case if you run tmux both locally and on a remote machine). It is an alternative to tmux-suspend that allows you to go arbitrarily deep with the nesting (tmux-suspend stops at one). Feedback is welcome and very appreciated!

Use same tmux keybindings on both your local and nested remote tmux sessions painlessly! This lets you suspend your local session, so that you can interact with the nested remote session directly.

It's not like zellij, this is such a plugin to use display-memu command more easily which is a function of tmux. Like this repository , but fully customizable with yaml.
