Reusable panes

Reusable panes can be shown and hidden without stopping the process running inside them.

lua

tpane.register_pane("logs", {
  side = "bottom",
  size = "25%",
  command = "tail -f logs/app.log",
})

Toggle it from a key binding:

lua

tpane.bind("L", function(pane)
  tpane.toggle(pane, "logs")
end)

Show it and zoom the layout around it:

lua

tpane.bind("M-L", function(pane)
  tpane.expand(pane, "logs")
end, { prefix = false })

Common options:

Option	Description
`side`	Where to split: `bottom`, `top`, `right`, or `left`.
`size`	tmux split size, like `25%`.
`command`	Command to run when creating the pane.
`tag`	Pane tag. Defaults to the registered name.
`label`	tpane label for the pane.

Use tpane.split for a one-off split:

lua

tpane.bind("S", function(pane)
  tpane.split(pane, {
    side = "bottom",
    size = "25%",
    command = "zsh",
  })
end)
