Description : Load and freeze your tmux layouts / workspaces
through JSON / YAML files. Includes python API for interacting with
tmux through python.
Why it this package relevant:
- this python application extends the functionality of tmux, a terminal
multiplexer common among programmers and system administrators.
- debian provides a package for tmux [1]
- tmuxp, hereinafter "python-tmuxp" (to clear ambiguity with the main
tmux application it extends) allows for freezing and loading tmux
workspaces through json and yaml files.
- json and yaml is a common, human-readable way to serialize data,
python-tmuxp uses them as a user-friendly way to store tmux
workspaces.
- a user can `tmuxp freeze` a session and tmux will reverse-engineer
their tmux workspace in JSON or YAML.
- a user can `tmuxp load` and python-tmuxp will build their workspace,
session, window, panes, commands and all. If the session name already
exists, tmuxp will offer to attach the session on the spot, instead
of recreating it.
- tmuxp also supports "before_script", which will run a setup script
in a language of your choice (shell, perl, ruby, python, etc.) to
prep your workspace.
Example use cases:
- a system administrator can create a tmuxp configuration in yaml that
automatically loads a session to `tail(1) -F` logs.
- a programmer may keep a `.tmuxp.yaml` in their project to
automatically open their common tmux workspace, complete with their
virtualenvs / rvm / perlbrew environments.
But wait there's more:
- python-tmuxp exposes a python API which makes tmux sessions, windows
and panes available as python objects. [2]
- from this you can script your tmux react your own python's workflows,
as an example, you can python-tmuxp as a django middleware to catch
exceptions, find or create a tmux session and use `send-keys` to open
vim and go to the line of the exception (although that would be
rather adventurous).
