Hello Thomas, thank you for your reply and having a look at the patch. Too bad that choose-list is quite likely to go, I found it quite handy.
I came up with another solution, which I'd like to present here quickly should anyone desire a similar functionality: Bind a key to create a new tmux window and run a simple shell script, e.g.: bind-key C-e neww ~/bin/tmux-run-action The simple shell script presents a list of items using select (zsh builtin). Each item maps to a function name in said script and when an item is chosen the correlating function is executed. Find below a first version of the simple script, which could be improved by either using dialog et al. or adding a console based version of dmenu¹ (should that exist). I do hope that you will overcome your other personal problems real soon. Wishing you all the best, Alexis ¹ http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw6sbQ5NLjM The video does not really show the difference between dmenu, which is a program, that presents a list of items and returns the text of the chosen item and dmenu_run, which uses dmenu to present a list of programs available on the system and then runs the selected program. ===[ BEGIN ~/bin/tmux-run-action] === #!/bin/zsh function mail { tmux neww -t 2 -n mail mutt } function calendar { tmux neww -n calendar wyrd } function irc { tmux neww -n irc irssi } function rtfm { tmux command-prompt -p "Which manpage do you want?"
