I run a script in one of several tmux windows and it needs to rename the window it's running in. Typically when this happens, I'm running some other program in some other window (in the same tmux-session). If I run "tmux rename-window", it renames the window I'm typing into (not the window the script is running in).
Try this: Open a new tmux session and run: tmux new-window; sleep 3; tmux rename-window "NEW-NAME" This script is trying to rename window #0 (the one it's running in), but ends up renaming window #1 (the one that you happen to be typing in). Is there any way to rename the window a script is running in regardless of which window is being displayed? I tried this on "tmux 2.3" and also a recent clone from github with the same results. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tmux-users" group.
