Great stuff! I had watched it before and it served as valuable inspiration to implement my own system. I watched it again and it inspired me again to simplify and streamline things. Thanks Josh!
I watched this video many time and still haven't implemented everything just yet (but working on it). Its so good!!!! ... All your videos are packed of good info. Keep up the awesome amazing 'jaw dropping' 😁work!
Great video, this is something I've been fighting with for so long! I ended up creating a custom Raycast extensions with the same functionality of the popup window since I didn't know the tmux pop-up fzf existed. This is going to be so much better. Thank you
I really like the format of the video and the way you present things. Would love to see deep dive into you neovim setup! As for the tmux I didn't quite get why would you want to have new tmux sessions created for every folder you jump in? p.s. lazygit is really cool, thanks for the tip!
My keyboard shortcuts, scripts, and some other tools typically expect the session root to be a git repository. So it allows me to be focused on a single project at a time. I can share more in a future video!
I have a simple pair of scripts, tm and tmx, for creating and reattaching (tmx is separate so I can have command completion via querying tmux list-sessions). By doing this I can add various shorthands as I desire them.
always great stuff Josh, cheers. I likely wont need that level of session management in tmux for what I do, but the idea of combining fzf with the results list from zoxide is great and gives me some ideas.
@@JoshMedeski My problem is sometimes remembering the foldername in which case zoxide cant really help me (although to be fair zoxide can also tab completed suggestions) with a fzf or broot over folder structures I atleast get a view of names to remind me. but on mac I find that because there are SO many system directories fzf can be slow as it struggles with all those. Whats great about this idea for me is to have a fzf over an already curated list of folder names that zoxide knows I use and so it can be super fast :) I used to alias broot and zoxide to start in a specific folder to help it not having to index the entire tree each time, but this way I wont have to ;)
This seems pretty damn cool! I just started using tmux recently and I keep using the tab left and right techniques which seem very inefficient (I'm too used to web browsers). But creating a session per project sounds a lot better and faster
Loving the content, have implemented a bunch of your ideas into my workflow. Can I ask how you set up gitmux with tmux to show git info in the status bar? I am also using fish & alacritty.
If you don't want to use zoxide, you can set the CDPATH variable, it's like PATH but the cd command looks at the CDPATH list to determine what to CD into and the default is your current directory. available on POSIX computers
I found your tmux plugin (in a video from another user) - it works great! You should probably mention it in this video somehow, either in the description or pinned comment. I know it's the first link in your notes document, but still. Thanks for make a great tool.
Absolutely amazing and helpful video. Would like to know how to get t into PATH tho 😬 What font were you using in this video by the way? It's not JetBrainsMono right?
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I tend to just use multiple windows on the same tmux session (appearing as tabs, and then each with multiple panes as needed). Do you think it would be difficult to modify your plugin to suit that need?
So my script is specifically for session management. Feel free to borrow my ideas for creating a window or pane manager if you think it’s a good idea for your workflow!
you have several paths that end with lazygit. what happens if you select one and then another, would you now have two tmux sessions with the same name (if that is even possible)?
Thanks! Zoxide ranks directories based off recent usage and how much a directory is used. You’ll get used to the ranking system after using it for awhile
@@JoshMedeski ok, if you use a directory name multiple times z changes to that with the most search requests. in this case you only can z to a unique upper level directory.
Really nice video. I like the concept, been using the "tmux sessionizr" ThePrimeagen built sometime ago, which works kinda the same. Haven't heard of Zoxide yet. Just installed it and will give it a go today.
@@JoshMedeski Looks like I fixed it by adding `set -Ux FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS "--color=..."`. Anyway, I am still looking forward to see your videos, love them. Thanks
I notice this doesn't work for paths stored in the zoxide database that include a space. Example: PATH = "~/Documents/Cool Stuff/project" Will create a tmux session named "Cool" and won't zoxide to the folder "project". This is probably trivial enough to fix for someone who writes shell scripts on the regular, but that ain't me at the moment haha. Anyone got ideas?
@@JoshMedeski That would be great, thanks! I don't really use spaces either, only realised once I was in some iCloud folder that had "Mobile Documents" as part of the path.
It's built into the `tt` script github.com/joshmedeski/dotfiles/blob/main/mackup/.config/bin/tt and I have it commented to a macOS keyboard shortcut (cmd+j) using Alacritty (see czcams.com/video/BLp61-Lq0kQ/video.html). Hope that helps.
Great stuff, but I see you are using fish. It's really a small detail, but is there any reason you didn't choose to make a function for t instead of a script ?
A bash script is easily transferable to other shell environments, I’ve already had some good contributions thanks to the format and people using zsh use the script as well.
Instead of using sed to get the name of the current directory, you can just use the basename command. For example (in Bash, but it is not a bash-builtin), if I'm in my home directory: > basename $PWD travisbhartwell
@@JoshMedeski No problem! I actually have a similar set up that I use that includes integration with Alfred, iTerm integration, and opening my session picker whenever a new terminal is opened that isn't already part of a session. I think I'll try to get my stuff cleaned up and at least blog about it.
Great stuff! I had watched it before and it served as valuable inspiration to implement my own system. I watched it again and it inspired me again to simplify and streamline things. Thanks Josh!

Didn't know about zoxide before. such a good tool to use. Thanks!
Thank you for this amazing workflow. I will definitely try this on my workflow.
You’re welcome! It makes me so productive in the terminal.
Love your t-smart-tmux-session-manager plugin. Good stuff!!!
very good and useful video, thank you
Great video, this is something I've been fighting with for so long! I ended up creating a custom Raycast extensions with the same functionality of the popup window since I didn't know the tmux pop-up fzf existed. This is going to be so much better. Thank you
I made it into a tmux plugin to make it even easier to use, check out the blog post in the description!
This is awesome, thank you so much
You could use `tmux new -As mysession` to either attach or create the session.
Good to know, I might use that
Guys like you is why I read comments, Thank you!

You can simplify that sed command with using the basename command
Thanks for the tip!
Or even ${PWD##*/}
@@JoshMedeskiand you can avoid issuing a command by using (basename $PWD)
This is amazing
This is definitely magnificent, well done mate!

haha now I just need to figure out how to make fzf always use the zoxide results list. haha
@@zestynotions Feel free to use my t script as inspiration.
@@JoshMedeski Yes was definitely gonna have a look there first. Thanks for sharing.
well done due. 👍
have you dabbled into nested tmux sessions at all?
It’s amazing how I made the same solutions as you but using a script called “Z jump around”
Cool, there are lots of smart directory jumping CLIs out there!
This seems pretty damn cool! I just started using tmux recently and I keep using the tab left and right techniques which seem very inefficient (I'm too used to web browsers). But creating a session per project sounds a lot better and faster

Amazing config ❤
If you don't want to use zoxide, you can set the CDPATH variable, it's like PATH but the cd command looks at the CDPATH list to determine what to CD into and the default is your current directory. available on POSIX computers
Thanks for the tip. I really like zoxide’s algorithm for detecting directories based on frequency and recency, that’s why I use it

Really nice workflow. Will implement something similar. Perhaps instead of named sessions will use named windows. Thanks for this!
I’ve thought about applying some of the same principles to window names, maybe I’ll share some of what I’ve been doing in an upcoming video!
@@JoshMedeski That would be great!
Interesting setup. Alot to chew on.
random question : is this your normal typeface or something you use specifically for presentations? Very readable.
It’s Apple’s SF font patched with Nerd icons github.com/epk/SF-Mono-Nerd-Font

As of right now it would switch back to the existing one.
You could rename the session manually if you ever needed to open similarly named folders at the same time. But it doesn’t happen to me.
That chair looks nice. Do you recommend it?
Yeah. It’s a gamer chair from IKEA. It inexpensive and gets the job done.
@@JoshMedeski looked a lot like one of those ergonomic office chairs
How did you manage to get rid of your window frame in MacOs?
It’s a terminal emulator called Alacritty, I’ve got a video how to set it up! czcams.com/video/Mu4frtvHPOY/video.html

hi, thank you for the great plugin and great tutor. I would like fix the theme issue at 10:54 in fzf popup. Could you guide me how to fix that?

Thank you!!! 6:07 How did you do that?
I have my file manager bound to a keyboard shortcut, see czcams.com/video/BLp61-Lq0kQ/video.html
I’ll be making a video on my file manager soon!
tmux new-session -A -t name will automatically create the session it doesn't exist or it will attach to it.
Yes! Lots of others have shared that tip with me since making this video, thanks :)
how did you open that folders browser at 6m05s ?
I use command+f to launch a file explorer called LF
what is that popup that thows up at 11:00 -- seems to be some fuzzy file finder to open files in vim?
It’s called Telescope it’s a Neovim plugin
@@JoshMedeski and you have shell alias to open it like “nvim +GitFiles”?
What file explorer is this at 6:07? I think i should start using one
It's call "lf", check it out github.com/gokcehan/lf

fish shell
Which snippet expansion do you use?
What you’re seeing in this video is the fish shell’s built in abbreviation feature
@@JoshMedeski oh ok thanks for clarifying. I thought of some kind of snippet plugin you use.
By the way the video is very good. I forgot to appreciate.
Great stuff, but I see you are using fish. It's really a small detail, but is there any reason you didn't choose to make a function for t instead of a script ?
A bash script is easily transferable to other shell environments, I’ve already had some good contributions thanks to the format and people using zsh use the script as well.
Why your window look like that ?
