Description
I want to suggest alternative to tmux for this setup --> WezTerm is a shell emulator written in rust, configured with lua: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/
I used tmux at work but I wanted a solution for multiplexing in Windows at home. I discovered a way to automate my setup of my different terminal-based workflows! Whats nice is it also has a CLI interface like tmux, so I think it's possible to use neovim to trigger a session swap. Otherwise, WezTerm itself can handle session swaps in it's own lua scripts.
As an example, I use WezTerm's lua scripts to define and swap amongst these workspaces:
- Hobby gamedev
- opens or creates 'cmd.exe /k C:/Program Files (x86)/2019/Community/VC/Auxiliary/Build/vcvars64.bat /k '
- Website
- opens powershell.exe on my website project folder, then executes "nvim ."
- Home automation
- opens a remote ssh to my raspberry pi
There is also a command launcher where I can create a list of common CLI commands. Then, use keybindings to execute their number or a keybinding to show a menu listings the options like this:
Also, WezTerm maintainer is a very nice dude!
Anyways, let me know if this is something you'd like!
