tmux_conf_new_session_prompt option does not work

[s1n7ax]

In the configuration I have tmux_conf_new_session_prompt=true. How ever when I create a new session tmux new-session it never prompts to enter a session name.

Hello @s1n7ax 👋

1. Did you reload the configuration after setting tmux_conf_new_session_prompt=true in your ~/.tmux.conf.local copy?
2. Can you please paste the output of tmux lsk | grep new-session after having reloaded the configuration?

@gpakosz I edited the configuration using <c-b>e. After save and close I think it resourced the config. I tried tmux kill-server also.

tmux lsk | grep new-session
bind-key    -T prefix       C-c                  command-prompt -p new-session "new-session -s \"%%\""
bind-key    -T root         MouseDown3StatusLeft display-menu -T "#[align=centre]#{session_name}" -t = -x M -y W Next n "switch-client -n" Previous p "switch-client -p" '' Renumber N "move-window -r" Rename n "command-prompt
-I \"#S\" \"rename-session -- '%%'\"" '' "New Session" s "command-prompt -p new-session \"new-session -s \\\"%%\\\"\"" "New Window" w new-window

In the .tmux.config I see a lot of commented lines. Am I supposed to uncomment those?

tmux lsk | grep new-session
bind-key    -T prefix       C-c                  command-prompt -p new-session "new-session -s \"%%\""

Maybe there's a misunderstanding. As far as I can tell, setting tmux_conf_new_session_prompt=true in your ~/.tmux.conf.local copy works and when you use <prefix> + C-c, then you'll be prompted when creating a new session.

However, you won't be prompted if you e.g. do : new-session in command mode.

What's .tmux.config?

Oh. ok. got it. <c-b><c-c> works. I thought i supposed to prompt when using tmux new
