How do I use my WM's multiplexing instead of tmux's?

[shaurya gupta]

As a tiling WM user, it does not make sense to me to have another layer of multiplexing and and I have to keep switching between tmux's bindings and my WM's. 

Instead of running every terminal in tmux's virtual terminal emulator, I want to run each of them in a new terminal emulator window.  

Is it possible to do something like this with tmux? If not, then is this something that can be added to tmux?  

[Scott Rochford]

Why are you running tmux at all then?  

Regards,

Scott

@Scott, I'm using tmux for it's session management and attach/detach features.

[Nicholas Marriott]

Yes just make a new tmux window or session in each WM terminal window.

But then they would not be in the same session. I want to open all terminals in the same session in different WM terminal windows.

Why would they not be in the same session?

Aah right, I can have them in the same session.

1. Is there anyway that I can do "tmux attach -t 0" and also create a new tmux terminal window? 

2. Is there anyway to detach all terminals in the same session?

[Nicholas Marriott]

Use new-window instead of attach.

You can use detach-client to detach a session IIRC.

Aaha, okay I looked more into it and was able to get both of those done. One final question - it seems that all clients attached to the same session will see the same window. But what I want to be able to do is change the current window in the client-1 without affecting client-2 (these are both connected to the same session). Is that possible?

[Nicholas Marriott]

Use session groups.
