tmux-continuum

If you don't want to write a giant regex like this yourself, there are some ready-made tmux plugins that add things like this to copy-mode. https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-fpp https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-copycat https://github.com/Morantron/tmux-fingers https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-urlview Any configuration or plugin that leans on the built-ins is probably going to be faster, so consider that w/r/t tmux-copycat. I also really like tmux-resurrect, which saves and restores sessions for you; tmux-continuum, which runs those automatically; and the tmux-zen plugin for Oh-My-Fish: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum https://github.com/sagebind/tmux-zen/tree/master It's pretty easy to get a very nice tmux setup going!

I hardly reboot a machine unless I am intending to, but there are plugins for tmux for this too. https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum

For anyone who's already using tmux and wants to persist their sessions across restarts, I cannot recommend tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum highly enough. https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum

https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect combined with https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum is a game changer.

One feature that I really like on my Mac was iTerm2's persistence (tabs and outputs preserved across reboots). This is particularly important where I live because we have frequent electric outages. I now have something on Tmux with https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum . That's one of the best things about Tmux: there's generally a way to get it to do what you need it to do. Or something close enough.

I've been using tmux continuum for semi persistent sessions about 2 years now and been generally happy. There's good support for keeping stdout (pane contents) in between restarts and you can also keep a whitelist of applications allowed to be resumed throughout reboots. https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum As for nested sessions I usually bind ^B ^B to send-prefix which means it will call the nested session, if you keep this as a standard in all you tmux configs you'll always be able to nest by repeating ^B, and even if you haven't you can always do ^B :send-prefix I've used tmux-continuum in conjunction with tmuxinator in order to easily keep sessions for different projects, however tmuxp should fill this purpose as well.

Yeah, I use https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum to auto save sessions, and https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect to restore them when tmux is started.

Thank you, I hear a lot about it. I'm trying it out this morning. That seems like a good recommendation. https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum looks really nice as well. I am interested in knowing any plugins beyond tmuxp / tmuxinator / teamocil that'd be worth covering in the book. https://github.com/tmux-plugins seems like a great resource.

I use Tmux resurrect[1] with Tmux continuum[2] so that after rebooting my laptop, my tmux session is restored. [1]: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect [2]: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum

There is tmux-continuum that works with resurrect to automate saving/restoring. https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum
