tmux-ressurect no longer restores shell history for each pane, as of [this PR](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect/pull/308).
|
||||
|
||||
As a workaround, you can use the `HISTFILE` environment variable to preserve history for each pane separately, and modify
|
||||
`PROMPT_COMMAND` to make sure history gets saved with each new command.
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, we haven't found a perfect way of getting a unique identifier for each pane, as the `TMUX_PANE` variable
|
||||
seems to occasionally change when resurrecting. As a workaround, the example below sets a unique ID in each pane's `title`.
|
||||
The downside of this implementation is that pane titles must all be unique across sessions/windows, and also must use the `pane_id_prefix`.
|
||||
|
||||
Any improvements/suggestions for getting a unique, persistent ID for each pane are welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pane_id_prefix="resurrect_"
|
||||
|
||||
# Create history directory if it doesn't exist
|
||||
HISTS_DIR=$HOME/.bash_history.d
|
||||
mkdir -p "${HISTS_DIR}"
|
||||
|
||||
if [ -n "${TMUX_PANE}" ]; then
|
||||
|
||||
# Check if we've already set this pane title
|
||||
pane_id=$(tmux display-message -p '#{pane_title}')
|
||||
if [[ $pane_id != "$pane_id_prefix"* ]]; then
|
||||
|
||||
# if not, set it to a random ID
|
||||
random_id=$(head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 16)
|
||||
printf "\033]2;$pane_id_prefix$random_id\033\\"
|
||||
pane_id=$(tmux display-message -p '#{pane_title}')
|
||||
fi
|
||||
|
||||
# use the pane's random ID for the HISTFILE
|
||||
export HISTFILE="${HISTS_DIR}/bash_history_tmux_${pane_id}"
|
||||
else
|
||||
export HISTFILE="${HISTS_DIR}/bash_history_no_tmux"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
|
||||
# Stash the new history each time a command runs.
|
||||
export PROMPT_COMMAND="$PROMPT_COMMAND;history -a"
|
||||
```
