I have a problem that I hope someone may have a nice solution to.
I've been developing a bash function called tvim, which combines vim and
tmux in a way that suits my workflow nicely. There is a single vim pane
that gets created (and re-created) on demand.
+---------------+----------------+
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| bash | vim |
+---------------+----------------+
When I run 'tvim file.c' in bash, this basically runs:
tmux send-keys -t $TVIM_PANE_ID ':e file.c' enter
TVIM_PANE_ID is an environment variable that gets created/updated when
ever the vim pane is created/recreated.
+---------------+----------------+
| | |
| bash-B | |
+---------------+ |
| | |
| bash-A | vim |
+---------------+----------------+
Now the problem occurs if I split the bash window further. I need
some way for bash-B to also know about $TVIM_PANE_ID.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to query the value of TVIM_PANE_ID from
any pane in that particular window.
Note that there may be a tvim pane in multiple windows, so this needs
to be local to the window, not a global setting.
Is there some way to do this using tmux functionality?
I can think of various ways involving temporary files or sqlite
databases, but these are all a bit clunky and cumbersome.
So far this whole tvim system is just bash functions, with no
external dependencies. I'd really like to keep it that way if possible.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve
