wt-tmux-picker 1.1.0

Windows Terminal + tmux session picker via SSH

wt-tmux-picker

Automatically register Windows Terminal profiles that open an interactive tmux session picker for your SSH hosts.

When you open a registered profile, a TUI dropdown lists your live tmux sessions. Select one to attach, or press Escape to open a plain SSH shell.

  Select tmux session on devbox:

  ┌────────────────────┐
  │ > main             │
  │   work             │
  │   logs             │
  └────────────────────┘

  ↑/↓ to move, Enter to select, Escape for plain SSH

Prerequisites

• Windows Terminal
• Python 3.12
• SSH key authentication (no password prompts) configured for each host
• tmux installed on remote hosts
• fzf installed on remote hosts

Install

uv add wt-tmux-picker

or with pip:

pip install wt-tmux-picker

Usage

Setup

Reads ~/.ssh/config, connects to each host via SSH to check for tmux and fzf, then registers a Windows Terminal profile for each qualifying host.

wt-tmux-picker setup

Options:

Flag	Description
--user NAME	SSH username to use for all hosts
--ssh-config PATH	Path to SSH config (default: ~/.ssh/config)
--dry-run	Preview actions without making changes

Cleanup

Remove registered profiles. With no arguments, an interactive TUI lets you choose which profiles to remove.

wt-tmux-picker cleanup               # TUI picker
wt-tmux-picker cleanup devbox        # remove one host
wt-tmux-picker cleanup devbox prod   # remove specific hosts

Options:

Flag	Description
--dry-run	Preview removals without making changes

Attach (used by profiles internally)

Invoked automatically by Windows Terminal profiles. You can also call it directly.

wt-tmux-picker attach devbox
wt-tmux-picker attach devbox --user alice

Development

Local Setup

Clone the repo and install in editable mode:

git clone https://github.com/mahsoommoosa42/wt-tmux-picker.git
cd wt-tmux-picker
uv sync --extra dev

Using Local tmux-manager for Development

If you're also developing tmux-manager, you can use your local version instead of the PyPI release:

# Clone tmux-manager in a sibling directory
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/mahsoommoosa42/tmux-manager.git
cd wt-tmux-picker

# Add to pyproject.toml [tool.uv.sources]:
# [tool.uv.sources]
# tmux-manager = {path = "../tmux-manager", editable = true}

# Then sync dependencies:
uv sync --extra dev

This will install tmux-manager from your local clone instead of PyPI.

Run Tests

uv run pytest --cov=wt_tmux_picker --cov-report=term-missing

All tests must pass at 100% branch coverage before submitting a PR.
