VimuxRunnerName doesn't find existing session when runner type is "pane"

[callumacrae]

Here's an excerpt from my config:

let g:VimuxRunnerType = "pane"
let g:VimuxRunnerName = "vimuxout"

Whenever I restart vim, vimux opens a new pane for itself.

I believe this to be a difference in how tmux handles window name and pane names.

This works:

tmux rename-window vimuxout
tmux select-window -t vimuxout

This does not:

tmux select-pane -T vimuxout
tmux select-pane -t vimuxout

Results in "can't find pane: vimuxout" - only tmux select-pane -t 0 works. It looks like this is because you can't actually rename a pane, you can just set a title, and select-pane -t doesn't query the title?

Not really sure. Still trying to figure it out for myself but I've been trying for a while and not having much luck :(

duh, was missing let g:VimuxUseNearest = v:true - which did not do what i thought it does from the name 😅

Glad you figured it out. If there is any documentation that you were reading and didn't clarify things for you PRs are always welcome improving the docs so that the next folks along don't stumble over the same things.
