I've installed #openbsd an hour ago. Terminal only, no Gui. My goal is to have a secure and stable terminal-multiplexer for #ssh. While I know (and use) #tmux, I believe need to learn #tmuxinator now...

Hab mir ein #Terminal Dashboard gebaut mit Radio #SWR3, aktuelles Wetter via wttr.in, System Status via #mole und time tracking TUI (selbst programmiert) - Alles wunderbar mit #tmuxinator automatisiert. Zum Arbeitsbeginn ist es also ein Command und alles ist sauber eingerichtet :) I Love It.

Experimentiere gerade mit #tmux und #tmuxinator - schon praktisch mehrere Panes in einem Fenster zu haben, quasi alle relevanten Verzeichnisse eines Projektes mit einem Kommando am Start.

Aber kann ich auch die Command history beim Start mit zwei drei häufig genutzten Kommandos bestücken ohne dass die sofort beim „mux start …“ ausgeführt werden? 🤔

Und Kommandos wiederfinden da gibt es doch auch was mit f… drei Zeichen? #FediHelp #mac #terminal #developer

To be honest I'd been thinking of replacing #tmuxinator for a while anyway, as I'm trying to reduce my reliance on the #AUR.

Where I can, I'm switching to alternatives in #ArchLinux's repos. If that's not possible, I'll see if it's in another distro's repos and run it in #Distrobox (for example, pdf2djvu in an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS container). Finally, as a last resort, I'll use a #Flatpak.

#tmuxinator isn't in #ArchLinux's repos, and the AUR version breaks whenever a Ruby library gets updated. This happened today, so I've taken the opportunity to try a different tmux session helper.

#tmuxp is a Python tmux session manager. Also, it's in Arch's repos so shouldn't break on an update.

It does a weird thing where every command it sends to a pane is prefixed by a space - this could be me, but I can't work out what I'm doing wrong. Other than this weird quirk, it works great.

Anybody out there who knows how to start external programs with #tmuxinator w/o waiting it to finish, e.g.

pre_window: xpdf &

@lopeztel It's so good, and useful in so many situations!

If you end up using it for more complex tasks, I can also recommend #tmuxinator https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator
