How to launch tmux –automatically– when konsole/yakuake start?

I discovered tmux possibility recently and I'm using it inside yakuake/konsole (quake-like terminal). However, I have to launch tmux manually every time I start my laptop or restart yakuake.

How to launch tmux –automatically– when yakuake/konsole start ?

Solution

  • Based on the Start tmux on every shell login article from the Archlinux wiki, you can start tmux on your shell with the following code at the

    Zsh or Bash

    Add in your zsh or bash configuration (usually ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc) the following code and restart your session:

    function start_tmux() {
    if type tmux &> /dev/null; then
        #if not inside a tmux session, and if no session is started, start a new session
        if [[ $HOST == "laptop" && -z "$TMUX" && -z $TERMINAL_CONTEXT ]]; then
            (tmux -2 attach || tmux -2 new-session)
        fi
    fi
}
start_tmux

    Fish

    Add in your fish configuration (usually ~/.config/fish/config.fish) the following code and restart your session:

    function start_tmux
    if type tmux > /dev/null
        #if not inside a tmux session, and if no session is started, start a new session
        if test -z "$TMUX" ; and test -z $TERMINAL_CONTEXT
            tmux -2 attach; or tmux -2 new-session
        end
    end
end
