Tmuxinator integration

[lcensies]

Description

There is a number of tmux session managers like tmuxinator or tmuxp that allow you to open a session defined in yaml format .

# ~/.tmuxinator/project.yml
windows:
  - editor:
      layout: main-vertical
      # Synchronize all panes of this window, can be enabled before or after the pane commands run.
      # 'before' represents legacy functionality and will be deprecated in a future release, in favour of 'after'
      # synchronize: after
      panes:
        - vim
        - guard
  - server: bundle exec rails s
  - logs: tail -f log/development.log

While tmux-sessionx is the most convinient session manager I have seen so far, for projects with predefined layouts I firstly have to create a session in shell as follows:

alias tx="tmuxinator"
tx project

and only then use tmux-sessionx for switching.

Proposal

It would be awesome to have integration with any of these tools with option such as

set -g @sessionx-tmuxinator-mode 'on'

so that tmux-sessionx will include available predefined sessions for creation/switching

Hey @lcensies thanks for the proposal

You can explain more about the proposal?

• What exactly do you want with this option?
  • The sessionx create a new session and run a predifined command?
  • Just run tmuxinator inside the sessionx, like in this video

I think this is doable. Probably involves something along the lines of

• extending the visible list with output from tmuxinator list
• upon selection, resorting to tmuxinator start <name>

Hey @lcensies and @ProgmRuanSilva Please checkout #70 where I added an integration to both listing and starting tmuxinator projects.

@lcensies If you could test the functionality that would be great (you can set your plugin to omerxx/tmux-sessionx#tmuxinator-intergration)

@ProgmRuanSilva I'd be happy if you could do the same just for sanity (changed some shellcheck suggestions, all seem to be working as expected but another pair of eyes like your could help a lot :) )

@lcensies Do you thing tmuxp is also required here?
