Request for `-L` option

[juboba]

Tmux has the -L option to specify the socket name (and -S to specify the socket path). This is very useful to group sessions in different sockets (isolated tmux servers).

It would be nice to have this option in smug.

Other tmux managers allow users to set the socket name in the yaml files which I haven't used, but could also be useful.

I have the intention of creating a PR for this, but I would have to learn at least some basic Go to do this 😅

What do you think @ivaaaan? Do you see value in this? Should I create a PR or is it easy for you to do?

Thank you!

@juboba have you started working on this? I got some free time and thinking about implementing this, or I can help you. Let me know if you have any progress

@ivaaaan I was looking at the code, and I think this could be implemented in the Exec functions of commander.go where we would add the -L / -S socket details to cmd.Args before running a command: https://github.com/ivaaaan/smug/blob/d053a9d41a5926cc6ee6b66d33b97d0424c984b6/commander.go#L28-L57

The -L / -S options could be passed to the commander instance from main.go: https://github.com/ivaaaan/smug/blob/d053a9d41a5926cc6ee6b66d33b97d0424c984b6/main.go#L81

Does that seem right?

[ivaaaan]

@dufferzafar sounds good. Feel free to create a PR, I'll take a look at it :)
