auto run command when selecting window

[cyphr3x]

Hello,

  When selecting a tmux window is there a way to auto run a command?

(not creating, selecting)

Hi Cyphr3x,

I haven't tried it myself, but usually you use hooks to run commands based on events.  Some of those are listed in the HOOKS section of the man page, however that states "All the notifications listed in the CONTROL MODE section are hooks...".  One of those is "window-pane-changed", so I suspect that is the one you need.

Regards,

Scott

This is perfect, thank you!

I ended up doing this to fix my issue:

tmux set-hook -g client-resized 'select-window -t 9 ; resize-pane -y 6 -t 1 ; last-window'

This resets my top pane in window 9 which was having issues when I would switch to a smaller overall ssh window.
