Set pane ssh title about tmux-xpanes HOT 7 CLOSED

I came up with a terrible idea 👼
Open new tmux sessions and set the session name on the destination server.
A small bar that has its host name can be placed on each pane !

xpanes -c 'ssh -t {} "tmux new -s {}"' cac0{1..6}

Just a kidding, hahaha.

It seems that tmux 2.3 and upper version got the feature to customize each pane's border design with pane-border-format property. It might be possible to display the hostname.
Stay tuned.

New option -t was released 👍

To customize this title, I've found that this function works for setting a custom xpane title:

function title {
    echo -ne "\033]0;"$*"\007"
}

Example I use with an iTerm profile:

command xpanes -t -d -l eh -c "{}" "title money && emacs -s money -- $LEDGER_FILE_PERSONAL" "title accounting && clear"

Hi @linuxmail ,
Thank you for using tmux-xpanes 😸 !

put a small bar under every pane

As far as I know, both tmux and tmux-xpanes do not have such the feature for now.
But I can understand the matter, and I think it would be really helpful if such the feature existed.

FYI, usually, I update PS1 environment variable when I face same issue.
If you use bash, it may be helpful.

$ ssh -t host01 'export PS1="[host01] \W $ "; bash --norc -i'

It puts the "host01" at the beginning of the interactive screen like this.

[host01] ~ $ 

Therefore, this command line would put the target hostname at the beginning of each pane.
It may help you identify the pane and its target host.

$ xpanes -c 'ssh -t {} "export PS1=\"{} \W $ \";bash --norc -i"' {host01..host20}
