Re: [STUMP] Using run-or-raise to manage pre-configured windows in a tmux session

[David Bjergaard]

Hi,

I don't use run-or-raise a lot (maybe I should start?) but my suggestion
would be something like (pseudocode):
(defun send-to-tmux (command-str)
  (run-or-raise "tmux" (:class "tmux"))
  (window-send-string command-str))

And then you could wrap this in a defcommand or something similar.  

In short, the command/function you want is "window-send-string".
