I'm trying to get the title of the active pane in the status line to
display $PWD when no command is active, and the current command when
a command is active. So, for example, if I cd to ~/Mail in the active
pane of window 7 the status line would be simply: 7*Mail
Then if I invoke the vifm file browser: 7*vifm
view a file with less: 7*less
or edit a file with vim: 7*vim
And upon quiting any of these & returning to the command prompt: 7*Mail
I can get the $PWD part of that with this in my zshrc :
precmd () {
[[ $TERM == tmux* ]] && printf "\033]2;`basename ${PWD}`\033\\"
}
and a #T in ~/.tmux.conf :
setw -g window-status-current-format '#I#F#T '
setw -g window-status-format '#I#F#T '
That works fine for displaying the working directory of a shell, but
now I'm trying to figure out a way to display the name of a command
when a command is active...maybe via a zsh function?
The #W sequence will show the name of whatever command is current, but
on an open shell it just displays "zsh" (as expected), where I'd like
to have displayed $PWD instead.
I suppose I could do something like:
setw -g window-status-current-format '#I#F#T-#W '
setw -g window-status-format '#I#F#T-#W '
Which would display $PWD and the active command together...but I'm
looking for something a bit more concise. Perhaps tmux-powerline [1]
could address some of this (though I haven't delved into it much yet),
but I was hoping to find a more lightweight solution.
