I do much of my work from tmux, I love it so much that I want to setup some functionality that puts me in tmux even if I didn't ask for it.
Bash Function
Bash function to check if the shell is in a tmux session.
in_tmux () { if [ -n "$TMUX" ]; then return 0 else return 1 fi }
Using the bash function
I often open up vim to do some quite edits, but before I know it I have several splits open and I need access to another shell utility, but I forgot to start in tmux. This function makes sure tht I start in tmux everytime.
Using if_tmux to ensure vim is opened in tmux.
vim () { in_tmux \ && nvim \ || bash -c "\ tmux new-session -d;\ tmux send-keys nvim Space +GFiles C-m;\ tmux -2 attach-session -d; " }
I am not quite sure if this is proper use of the && and ||, let me know if
you have a better way to do one thing if in_tmux returns true and another if
it returns faslse.
