display directive in tmux.conf hides session details

[macarthy]

I have

bind r source-file ~/.tmux.conf ; display "Reloaded tmux.conf!"

in my conf file.

That means I don't get to see the ssh login details to give to my "mates"

For the moment, you can type tmate show-messages in a shell within the tmate session.

Soon, there will be dedicated status bar or tmate. Related: #2

Can't tmate just run "tmate show-messages" when starting session?

[nviennot]

that's tempting, but what if you launch tmate with vim instead of a shell, it's going to be weird.
But perhaps it's not really a use case worth worrying about.
Also, putting the connection string in the clipboard would be a good thing to do

i like the interim suggestion of dumping the tmate connection string into the system clipboard.

tmate show-messages should end up in the main documentation, in the readme, in the --help etc. An example .tmate.conf which runs it automatically during a shell session would be good too.

@acook here's what i use.. after i fire up tmate i have a zsh function that is the following:

tmateip () {
  output=$(tmate show-message | grep -m 1 "Remote session:")
  echo ${output#*session: } # display it
  echo ${output#*session: } | pbcopy # and copy it to clipboard
}
