When I try to use this plugin, I see the extra tmux window appear, but it immediately shuts without me switching to it. I cleared tmux conf down to simply loading this and the plugin loader and saw the same issue.

This is on OSX Yosemite in iTerm2, the only irregularity I have is that I use Fish Shell instead of bash/zsh/etc.

This adds a new mode that pastes the selected file list back into the pane you were initially on.

Useful for invoking while editing a command line or configuration file, for example.

The defaults are kept to be fully backwards compatible.

There are now three configurable options:

• @fpp-bind on/off
  • Whether to bind keys on initialization.
  • Defaults to 'on'.
• @fpp-key
  • The tmux key to bind to launching FPP.
  • Defaults to 'f'.
• @fpp-mode edit/paste
  • Whether to launch EDITOR after FPP or paste the file list into the invoking pane.
  • Defaults to 'edit'

I've tried setting the following variables:

export FPP_EDITOR='emacsclient -n'
export EDITOR='emacsclient -n'
export VISUAL='emacsclient -n'

...but I cannot get tmux-fpp to open the files in anything other than vim.

However, when I run:

git status | fpp

...that will open my files using emacsclient -n

Any idea what's going on here?

This PR simply adds a -N note so that the chosen key binding appears in tmux list-keys / <prefix> + ? and "Describe key binding" <prefix> + /, which is useful when you have a lot of custom keybindings.

It appears that 'fpp' may stand for something else, for example, Intel Fortran Preprocessor Options. An option to specify the whole path may be helpful in this case.

Hi,

I've been using this plugin for some time now but it stopped working and I didn't make any config change.

I was thinking that may be since I updated to macOS Catalina because the bind-key looks like this:

bind-key -T prefix       f                 capture-pane -J \; save-buffer /var/folders/_d/pl4l0yy16s78vbnmjxhx95sc0000gn/T//tmux-buffer \; delete-buffer \; new-window -c "#{pane_current_path}" -n fpp "sh -c 'cat \"/var/folders/_d/pl4l0yy16s78vbnmjxhx95sc0000gn/T//tmux-buffer\" | fpp ; rm \"/var/folders/_d/pl4l0yy16s78vbnmjxhx95sc0000gn/T//tmux-buffer\"'"

I had problems with other vim plugins because of these weird temporary folders used.

Thanks!

So how am I supposed to use this with tmux-yank? I tried pressing y, - y and so on and was hoping to copy the selected filenames in the clipboard, but this was not working.

The TMPDIR environment variable should be honored if set, as it may point to something other than /tmp (e.g. /tmp/.private/$(whoami) on my system). Fallback to /tmp if $TMPDIR is unset or empty.

The tmux buffer created by capture-pane lingers on after it has been dumped to the disk for fpp. It should be removed to prevent polluting the user's list of buffers.

tmux-fpp fails to correctly detect line-wrapped file names and may truncate the file names. Using the -J flag lets tmux join wrapped lines when capturing the pane contents.

From the tmux man page section on capture-pane:

-J joins wrapped lines and preserves trailing spaces at each line's end.

PS: this looks an awful lot like tmux-plugins/tmux-urlview#1 ;-)

With '&&' in the shell script calling fpp, the temporary buffer is not deleted if fpp fails for some reason. ';' seems to me like it should be preferred.

If I scroll up into tmux copy-mode history and use this plugin, I only get the latest part of it (ie. the current terminal screen and not the tmux copy-mode history).

Is this a deficiency of fpp, or is it something in my configuration or can I do something so that tmux-fpp works on tmux copy-mode history?

Often when debugging various programs, test output will be verbose but color/bolding/italicizing makes it significantly easier to visualize/navigate. When jumping into fpp, this data is lost, making it much harder to quickly navigate to the file path I am looking for.
