How to create a new window at the last index of my current session

[Sanish Suresh]

Hi all,

I am hoping to find an answer to this from this group. I have tried different options after reading the man page, but all in vain.

I want to add windows at the last index of my current session. Let us say I have windows at the indices: 1, 2, 7, 8, 12, 13. I want to write a script, which will automatically figure out the last window index and then add a new window after it (14 in this example).

new-window [-adkP] [-c start-directory] [-F format] [-n window-name] [-t target-window] [shell-command]

For "target-window", the man page says that  ‘^’ selects the highest numbered window. Accordingly I tried different variations, nothing seem to be working. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Sanish

If your tmux is new enough then "tmux neww -at'{end}'" otherwise you will need to write a script that uses list-windows.

Thanks, I am on an old release and the option doesn't seem to work. As you suggested, I wrote a script to get the last window index and got the job done.
