Expand format in `select-window`

[Michael Forster]

Hi,

I currently have this line in my tmux config: 

    run "tmux select-window -t #{@unattached-window}"

It seems unfortunate that I have to execute a shell for a tmux command just so that formats get expanded. Is there a way to expand formats in arbitrary places without using a shell?

For context: This is the whole snippet where I need this:

      set-hook -g session-created {
        if -F "#{>:#{window_active_sessions},1}" {
          set -F @unattached-window "#{s/ .*//:#{W:#{?window_active_sessions,,#{window_id} }}}"
          if -F "#{@unattached-window}" {
            run "tmux select-window -t #{@unattached-window}"
          } new-window
        }
      }

I would be happy with alternative suggestions on how to achieve my goal of selecting the first window that doesn't have an active session...

Thanks,

Mike

Nevermind. I found 

    run -C "select-window -t #{@unattached-window}"

on my own.

Sorry for the noise,

Mike

You can use run -C instead.
