I don't use tmux that often. I'll let users who do vote on this. There are a few other tmux-related pull requests you may want to verify. |

Thanks. There seems to be a little overlap with #607 and merging one or the other of these would require some minor rebasing to fix. Functionally however they cover different ground. |
For normal usage this change should be a NOOP. However it enables the use case where the user might want to predefine what session gets connected to when the shell is launched. Running `zsh` will still net you a connection to the last used tmux session or a new one named "zprezto" if none exists. However `env tmux_session=myname zsh` will connect you specifically to a session called 'myname' including creating it if it doesn't exist. This is particularly useful in window managers where a key binding might open a terminal with a predefined session or even show a list of current sessions and open a new terminal connected to that session.

I tried rebasing this since the conflicting PR was merged some time ago but the result didn't actually work as advertised. I'll re-open this when I figure out how to make it work again. |
