Tmux Windancer 🔄

This is a Tmux plugin that lets you rearrange your windows. I made this as an excuse to practice shell scripting.

tmux-windancer.mp4

Installation with TPM ⚙️

Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in config file (like .tmux.conf):

set -g @plugin 'sycanz04/tmux-windancer'

Hit Prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it. You should now be able to use the plugin.

Key bindings ⌨️

• Prefix + P - Move window left
• Prefix + N - Move window right
• Prefix + Alt + w - Specify window to swap with

Note: The window rotates to the other end if it's at the left/rightmost corner

Changing keybinds 🛠️

After installing the plugin.

1. Navigate to .tmux plugin run file

$ cd ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-windancer/tmux-windancer.tmux

2. Change they keybinds on these 3 lines (default keybinds are P, N, M-w)

tmux bind-key P run-shell "$CURRENT_DIR/scripts/dance.sh left"
tmux bind-key N run-shell "$CURRENT_DIR/scripts/dance.sh right"
tmux bind-key M-w command-prompt -p "Move window to index: " "run-shell '$CURRENT_DIR/scripts/dance.sh %%'"

3. Source your tmux config
