Dynamically creating the list contents would be the key feature of your choose-list command wouldn't it? Would specifying the command as an argument work instead? tmux choose-list -c 'generate-list-command' ? Then you could have: bind $key choose-list -c 'generate-completions' 'send-keys "%%"' With a generate-completions script handling #1 & #2 below, and spitting out the list. >> Also, does tmux have commands to: >> 1) dump the contents (and history) of a pane? > > capture-pane Perfect.
