tmuxp VS Tmuxinator

Using tmux + tmuxp[1] you can load a pre-configured session and execute arbitrary shell commands for the session, window and pane. I use this to set up shells and editors in the correct dirs (and/or hosts), load lang environments, set env vars and source some zsh aliases and functions that I only want per project. The end result is that I can set up my dev environment (shells with different environments, neovim windows, test runner, various linters I don't wannt integrate into nvim) with a single "tmuxp load ".

As for apps: - I also use Zathura for PDFs, which is fine for me because it also has vim bindings, and I like the recolor feature. - I mostly use Alacritty + tmux for terminals, because I also use tmuxp. Although I run some quick commands in vterm. - I'm pretty happy with Firefox + Tridactyl as my main browser (by the way, I think Tridactyl is more powerful than Vimium). - My passwords are also stored in pass, which I access with pass.el and my password-store-ivy. The latter replicates some rofi script I used earlier. - I'm fine with dired for files and archives, but I run dired-do-compress or just enter tar / zip / ... commands in dired-do-async-shell-command. I don't work with that many archives anyway. - Honestly, I very rarely have to search for something across my entire machine (or home directory), and in such cases, I just run find :-) But I often use counsel-rg and deadgrep to fuzzy search across a given project.

Looks very simple I think I can do something based on ThePrimeagen's script that works for me, someone else also commented to tmuxp. It's probably better to look for solutions without having to do everything within neovim. Thanks

https://tmuxp.git-pull.com/ does the same thing, but I think it's smoother to work with. It does support freezing current panes. yaml config

Everything is configured with tmuxp and I can set the whole thing up with a single command.

https://github.com/tmux-python/tmuxp provides essential startup utility and scriptability.

tmuxp v1.12.0, GitHub, Release notes, Docs

Well, I now use tmux and tmuxinator. I have had many failed tmux attempts over the years, but I'm firmly bedded in now.

I once bought a 32 core ThreadRipper and tried to get along with using a cheap £200 Windows 10 laptop to remote into the threadripper while in coffee shops and use the ThreadRipper to do my work.

The £200 Windows 10 laptop wasn't powerful enough, it was too laggy. Even on Wifi.

I love the idea of the X11 protocol. And I still love the idea of a web desktop. Something that is supremely well integrated and allows me to move workloads between client and server seamlessly. This idea I really like. The ability to outsource computation and storage seamlessly. A process can be moved between machines seamlessly.

This could be modelled in Javascript and promises that can be sent around. Microservices in the desktop environment.

I looked at tools that would bring up tmux sessions with everything preloaded. (https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator)

ScrapScript has very good ideas in this area of distributing dependencies and storage. (https://scrapscript.org/) There is also val town.

I never use KDE Plasma widgets or the sidebar widgets that Mac provided.

There is so many exciting ideas that could be tried out but I worry they're all too big ideas to be implemented.

tmuxinator

I use https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator for my workspaces. Doesn't save ad-hoc layouts, but usually I find one layout that works per project, then create a tmuxinator config for it, so after reboot, it's a short "tmuxinator start $my-project" away to get back to how I want it to be.

I’ve become a huge fan of tmuxinator. Incredible tool for defining templates for tmux.

I doubt that would be possible with tmux's built-in zoom functionality (if it is, I'm not aware). You can use tools such as tmuxinator to create cusotm layouts, but I think "zoom" in tmux means "cover the whole window"

mprocs looks pretty cool. In the past I've used Tmuxinator or Tmuxp configs for stuff like that.
