zellij-runner - Switch session if already inside zellij

[eirabben]

Hi

Right now, if I run the zellij-runner inside a zellij session, it opens a nested session.

Is there any way to detect whether we are already inside zellij, and switch sessions instead of nesting?

Hi @eirabben, I'm not sure regarding nesting detection—I don't think it is possible off the top of my head, but maybe I'm wrong, and Zellij exposes some handle. And it is 100% impossible to switch instead of to nest without a manager process running somewhere.

Ok, thank you for your quick reply.

Seems like this kind of functionality would have to be handled inside zellij directly.

Thank you for your time!

Yup, exactly.
