Restoring pane contents

This plugin enables saving and restoring tmux pane contents.

This feature can be enabled by adding this line to .tmux.conf:

set -g @resurrect-capture-pane-contents 'on'
Known issue

When using this feature, please check the value of default-command tmux option. That can be done with $ tmux show -g default-command.

The value should NOT contain && or || operators. If it does, simplify the option so those operators are removed.

Example:

  • this will cause issues (notice the && and || operators):

      set -g default-command "which reattach-to-user-namespace > /dev/null && reattach-to-user-namespace -l $SHELL || $SHELL -l"

  • this is ok:

      set -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l $SHELL"

Alternatively, you can let tmux-sensible handle this option in a cross-platform way and you'll have no problems.
