Make Chrome Open SSH Links on an Existing Tmux Session

THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS

Create bin/tmux-ssh-open and make it runable with chmod 755 bin/tmux-ssh-open:

#!/bin/bash                                                                                                                                                      address=`echo $1 | cut -d / -f 3`
port=`echo $1 | cut -d / -f 4`
if [ "$port" == "" ]; then
  port=22
fi
tmux new-window \; send-keys "ssh ${address} -p ${port}^M"

Add the config to Gnome:

gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ssh/command '~/bin/tmux-ssh-open %s' --type String
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ssh/enabled --type Boolean true

Create ~/.local/share/applications/ssh.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Exec=tmux-ssh-open %F

Add the magic lines to ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list:

[Default Applications]
x-scheme-handler/ssh=ssh.desktop

exo-open ssh://localhost should now work.
