I like to show all tmux sessions with <c-a> + s and you have that remapped to the vi horizontal split. What is the command with this config to show all sessions? Thanks for sharing!!!

Same doubt here. Just couldn't find the unbind or a new bind.

Thank you!

Nice I added more one keybind to be perfect to me

# Kill pane with no confirm
bind-key x kill-pane

Great config. Thanks! 🙌
If you want the new splits to open the same directory path use

bind-key v split-window -h -c '#{pane_current_path}'
bind-key s split-window -v -c '#{pane_current_path}'

Thank you!!😋

bind-key v split-window -h -c '#{pane_current_path}'
bind-key s split-window -v -c '#{pane_current_path}'

Great input. Thanks 👍
