From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any idea how I can make a tmux alias for ssh? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have a nice bash alias for tmux which opens a new window and directly ssh to whatever I specify

function s() {
    tmux neww -n "$1" -- ssh "$1"
}

I want to also have something similar directly as an alias in tmux, so I can do C-b :s myhost when I'm already in a ssh to another server, instead of having to change windows, and then run s myhost in bash.

I tried using tmux's confiug to do various variations of

set -s command-alias[100] s='run s'

Also using directly ssh, or without using run etc. But I can't figure it out.

This is what I have in my . tmux.conf for SSH you can adapt

bind-key S command-prompt -p "ssh to:","port:" "new-window -n %1 'ssh %1 -p %2'"

That means when I press C-b, SHIFT S it asks what IP to connect to (type it in when it asks on the status bar of TMUX), press enter, the it asks the port to use.

Brilliant. I removed the port since I usually use my ssh config or I can just type with with : and it's what I needed. Cheers
