Needs a save-complete-history & start logging logging to same file #38

Usually when one decides to enable logging, what is in the scrollback is often of interest as it may contain the specific example of what one wants to log.

I'd like to have a command that both:

captures the scrollback
enables logging to the same filename as the scrollback

ie: A combination of: save_complete_history.sh and start_logging.sh

Such that this can be a key assignment.

Fixed in https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-logging/pull/39

Added script snapshot_and_log.sh

A custom keybinding should also do the trick :

bind-key C-x run-shell "$HOME/.tmux/plugins/tmux-logging/scripts/save_complete_history.sh" \; run-shell "$HOME/.tmux/plugins/tmux-logging/scripts/toggle_logging.sh"

Those use different filename settings. I wanted on that used the same name as I had configured for logging. The above could also save the scrollback, and stop logging (using toggle)

Although, my patch may overwrite the current log file with the snapshot if you're already logging.... didn't think of that.
