PATCH: Add optional titles to choose-list
Hi everyone,
I wanted some kind of command alias mechanism for tmux,
with which I was able to call long and tedious to type
tmux commands quickly and often.
Choose-list to the rescue, now the only thing needed
was a way to give each tmux action a readable and
meaningful name.
Please find attached a patch, which uses any text
up to a '#' in each choose-list item and displays
it instead of the expanded template.
I look forward to your feedback, on the idea
in general, whether you consider it a useful addition,
and improvements on how it was implemented.
Kind regards,
Alexis
P.S.

Subject: [PATCH] Add optional titles to choose-list
In order to display a custom title instead of the expanded template
for an item in the choose-list prepend the item with the desired title
followed by an '#'.
For example:
:choose-list -l \
'calendar#neww -n calendar "remind -mc ~/.reminders|$PAGER"',\
'chat#neww -n irc irssi',\
'mail#neww -n mail mutt',\
'rtfm#command-prompt -p "Which manpage do you want?" "neww \"man %%\""',\
'%%'
will show the following choose-list:
(1) calendar
(2) chat
(3) todos
(4) rtfm

Re: PATCH: Add optional titles to choose-list
Hello Thomas,
thank you for your reply and having a look at the patch.
Too bad that choose-list is quite likely to go, I found
it quite handy.
I came up with another solution, which I'd like
to present here quickly should anyone desire
a similar functionality:
Bind a key to create a new tmux window and
run a simple shell script, e.g.:
bind-key C-e neww ~/bin/tmux-run-action
The simple shell script presents a list
of items using select (zsh builtin).
Each item maps to a function name in said script
and when an item is chosen the correlating
function is executed.
Find below a first version of the simple script,
which could be improved by either using dialog et al.
or adding a console based version of dmenu¹
(should that exist).
I do hope that you will overcome your
other personal problems real soon.
Wishing you all the best,
Alexis

The video does not really show the difference between
dmenu, which is a program, that presents a list of items and
returns the text of the chosen item and dmenu_run, which uses
dmenu to present a list of programs available on the system
and then runs the selected program.
===[ BEGIN ~/bin/tmux-run-action] ===
#!/bin/zsh
function mail {
tmux neww -t 2 -n mail mutt
}
function calendar {
tmux neww -n calendar wyrd
}
function irc {
tmux neww -n irc irssi
}
function rtfm {
tmux command-prompt -p "Which manpage do you want?" "neww \"man %%\""
}
PS3="Run Action: "
select action in mail calendar irc rtfm
do
exec $action
break
done
