way to control the window-name
Is it possible to control what #W gets set to? Right now the only thing I can see is potentially using -B
to do something like echo -ne "\033k"$(hostname -s)"\033\\"
but that feels icky
There is no other way except by using -B
for now.
xpanes
tries to set the unique window name in the session due to historical reason.
Because window-name was the only key to identify the window in tmux 1.6.
However, xpanes no longer supports tmux 1.6. I understand it feels icky and It is good chance to change this behavior.
I don't know when I'll be able to do it, but I'll try to implement the feature to set provided window name in the future 👍
while you are thinking about this, it could also be said that it would be nice to have an option to target a specific window other than the current window to send xpanes to. i can open a separate issue on this though as well.
Sounds interesting. plz create another issue.
+1 for easier option to set the window-name
