TL;DR: Every terminal I spawn execs tmux, specifically:
st -e tmux new-session \; \
set-option destroy-unattached on \; \
choose-tree -b "new-session -t "%%"'
and here was how I progressed to that ...
Simplest option, just spawn a new session every time:
st -e tmux new-session
st -e tmux new-session \; set-option destroy-unattached on
Conventional spawning of a new terminal. Converges on unmanagable amount
of sessions without diligent ^D (logout). The second variant alleviates
this, but can bite you ("destroy-unattached off" is expected, you WILL
accidentally kill windows).
Attach to the last session:
st -e tmux attach-session
st -e tmux attach-session \; new-window
This is another way to reduce the amount of left-over sessions. The second
variant is nice for quick commands, a ^D returns other attached clients to
their old state (nearly, see -E). Terminals are linked so other windows
unexpectedly start changing. If you are experienced with tmux this is
obvious, but annoying.
Choose a session to "clone", or attach to the last session if cancelled:
st -e tmux attach-session \; choose-tree -b "new-session -t '%%'"
st -e tmux new-session \; set-option destroy-unattached on \;
choose-tree -b "new-session -t "%%"'
This works unless the attached window is already in (copy|edit)-mode. It
also fails unless at least one session is running, or a session is started
in tmux.conf. The second variant seems to always work and is my current
keybinding (Win+Return) in my window manager.
Comment and improve :-)
