Thanks Nicholas,
#{} (curly braces) is parsed by the setenv command, though:
$ tmux setenv -ghF _tmux_test '#{version}x'
$ tmux showenv -gh _tmux_test
_tmux_test=3.4x
Any chance #() could be added to setenv in the future?
In the mean time I'll get my hook to run a shell script that calls tmux
setenv.
