better-tmux-sessions

This is just my scripts to improve life using tmux sessions.

Installation

You need fzf, and zoxide for this to work

You can install it using tpm:

set -g @plugin 'emillen/better-tmux-sessions'

once installed you can add the scripts folder in the plugin-path to your $PATH to be able to use them outside tmux

export PATH="$PATH:~/.tmux/tpm/better-tmux-sessions/scripts"

Usage

The scripts are meant to be used in hotkeys for tmux, in combination as commands when you're outside a tmux session.
