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
