Omarchy Helpers

  • Super+Alt+Return launches a terminal and runs tmux attach || tmux new -s Work
  • t shell alias runs tmux attach || tmux new -s Work
  • tdl <ai> [second_ai] builds a dev layout in the current tmux window: left pane opens "$EDITOR ." (typically Neovim), right pane runs the first AI CLI command, and a bottom pane is left as a terminal
  • tdlm <ai> [second_ai] creates one tdl window per subdirectory of the current directory
  • tsl <pane_count> <command> creates a tiled pane layout and runs the same command in every pane

Layout Helpers

  • tdl c starts a layout with opencode in the AI pane
  • tdl cx starts a layout with claude --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions in the AI pane
  • tdl codex starts a layout with codex in the AI pane
  • tdl c codex starts a layout with two AI panes, one running opencode and one running codex
  • tdlm codex creates one tmux window per child project directory and starts the same editor/AI/terminal layout in each
  • tsl 4 codex creates four tiled panes and runs codex in all of them

Notes

  • These helpers are shell functions, not tmux keybindings
  • They are defined in ~/.local/share/omarchy/default/bash/fns/tmux
  • tdl, tdlm, and tsl must be run from inside an active tmux session
  • tdl uses $EDITOR . for the editor pane, so the exact editor depends on your shell environment
  • The n shell function is also available if you want a quick nvim launcher: n opens nvim ., and n <path> opens nvim <path>

Source Files

  • Live config: ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf
  • Omarchy default: ~/.local/share/omarchy/config/tmux/tmux.conf
