Show the current session/window/pane when switching #78

Closed FrostyX closed 8 months ago

FrostyX commented 9 months ago

For some reason, I cannot see the current session, window, and pane when switching. I am not sure whether it is a bug or a feature but it is IMHO very unpleasant.

For a second I always panic that I accidentally killed some session
Sometimes my hands are faster than my thinking and I start switching into a session without realizing that I am currently in it. Then I am confused why it isn't there
The main benefit of fzf is filtering a large number of results with ease, so one less result doesn't make a dent

If this is a feature, can we have have a config variable to optionally show current thing in the fzf items, please?

Do you mean preview the content? It’s already supported and enable by default.

FrostyX commented 9 months ago

Thank you for the reply @sainnhe, It will be probably the easiest to show you.

Here, you can see the list of all my Tmux sessions. The currently attached session is named fedora-review.

Here I am running ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-fzf/scripts/session.sh switch

As you can see, all the sessions are listed except for the fedora-review.

It’s expected. Since the action is “switch”, the current session is excluded in the list.

FrostyX commented 9 months ago

Oh, so it is a feature. Can we optionally have the current session/window/etc included in the list, please? This wouldn't be unprecedented ... FZF plugin in Vim also lists the current buffer among the possible buffers to switch. Same for narrowing frameworks in Emacs, etc.
