Lazy.tmux is a wrapper around tpm that provides a more intuitive and nicer way to manage your Tmux plugins.
Lazy.tmux is inspired by lazy.nvim if you're using nvim and not using lazy.nvim, go give it a try!
Also huge shoutout to sessionx as it encouraged me to create this plugin.
Add this to your .tmux.conf and run Ctrl-I for TPM to install the plugin.
set -g @plugin 'IdoKendo/tmux-lazy'
This is going to be the last time you need to do this 😉.
The default binding to open lazy.tmux is <prefix>+Z
You can change it by adding this line with your desired key:
set -g @lazy-tmux-binding '<mykey>'Once you start using Lazy.tmux a new file will be generated alongside your tmux.conf
under the name lazy.tmux.lock - If you are storing your config in version control,
it is recommended that you store the lockfile as well, as it will allow you to restore
plugins to the very same version that you have in case future breaking change happens.
Launching lazy.tmux opens a "pop up" with an input dialog for actions and installed plugins. You can type the action that you want or the plugin that you wish to update and click Enter.
Available options:
Installwill open a text box to add a new plugin to your tmux.conf fileRemovewill open a text box to remove an existing plugin from your tmux.conf file and delete it from your system.Updatewill update all plugins currently installed and update the lockfile.Syncwill sync the plugins to a lockfile in order to revert updates.Cleanwill delete artifacts of plugins that are not currently in-use.- Selecting any plugin name will update it to its latest version.
Note that
(new commit)tag will appear on plugins that have new commits. This will also update the lockfile. Exitwill close lazy.tmux; This is also possible by clicking theEsckey.
