Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/tmux-menu-improved' into overdrive

fg/bg were reversed for a reason I am not interested in figuring out
right now.

-# TMUX Hack Session Launcher
+# tmux-menu.sh
 
-A Bash script designed to manage and automate pre-defined tmux-sessions. This script allows you to launch complex development or administration environments - complete with multiple windows and SSH connections - using a single command.
+A hack tmux menu script to manage multiple tmux sessions
 
 ---
 
-## Features
+REQ: tmux v3+
-
-- **Automated Session Creation**: Checks if a session exists; if not, it creates it with your pre-defined windows and layouts.
-- **Environment Nesting Protection**: Prevents launching a new session if you are already inside an active tmux environment.
-- **Custom Configuration Support**: Automatically sources your `$HOME/.tmux.conf`.
-- **Session Attaching**: If a requested session is already running, the script simply attaches you to it.
-- **Fallback Discovery**: Provides an error message and lists all currently active sessions if an invalid name is provided.
 
 ---
 
-## Prerequisites
+## Need
 
-- **tmux**: Ensure `tmux` is installed and available in your `$PATH`.
+After I discovered tmux I searched for a way to manage multiple groups of tmux sessions under one unified script.  Not finding anything (or maybe just not looking well enough) I decided to write my own.  It's not pretty, but I've been using for a couple of years now and it's become an integral part of my workflow.
-- **SSH Config (Optional)**: For windows that execute SSH commands, ensure your SSH keys or config are set up for seamless connections.
 
----
+My setup works this way:
 
-## Installation
+Imagine you have multiple SSH connections
 
-1. Copy the script to a directory in your `$PATH` (e.g., `~/bin` or `/usr/local/bin`).
+- web-dev
-2. Rename it to something short, like `tm`.
+- web-prod
-3. Make the script executable:
+- database-dev
-   ```bash
+- database-prod
-   chmod +x ~/bin/tm
-   ```
 
----
+and you want to group them together in similar groups.
 
-## Usage
+With this script you can name collections of sessions and switch between them easily with just a few keystrokes.
 
-Run the script followed by the name of the pre-defined session:
+Let's see an example using the above connections:
 
 ```bash
-tm mine
+case $session in
-```
+    web)
-
-If no session name is provided, or the name doesn't match a case in the script, it will display an error and list all currently active tmux sessions.
-
----
-
-## Configuration
-
-To add a new session, add a new case stanza inside the `case $session in` block.
-
-### Template
-```bash
-    session_name)
         if [[ $tcheck == 0 ]]; then
-            tmux -f "${TMUX_CONF}" new-session -d -s session_name
+            tmux new-session -d -s web
-            tmux -f "${TMUX_CONF}" rename-window 'initial_window'
+            tmux rename-window 'local'
-            tmux -f "${TMUX_CONF}" new-window -t:1 -n 'second_window' 'command_to_run'
+            tmux new-window -t 1 -n 'root@web-dev' 'exec ssh root@web-dev.example.org'
+            tmux new-window -t:2 -n 'user@web-prod' 'exec ssh user@webprod.example.org'
         fi
-        tmux attach-session -t session_name
+    tmux attach-session -t web
-        ;;
+;;
+
+case $session in
+    database)
+        if [[ $tcheck == 0 ]]; then
+            tmux new-session -d -s database
+            tmux rename-window 'local'
+            tmux new-window -t 1 -n 'root@database-dev' 'exec ssh root@databasedev.example.org'
+            tmux new-window -t:2 -n 'user@database-prod' 'exec ssh user@wdatabase.example.org'
+        fi
+    tmux attach-session -t database
+;;
 ```
 
-### Script Variables
+Calling the script with a pre-determined session name (ex: `./tmux-menu.sh web` or `./tmux-menu.sh database`) firstchecks to see if there is already a session group with that name.  If not, it creates a new group with the commands youspecify and names each connection in tmux.
-- `TMUX_CONF`: Defaults to `$HOME/.tmux.conf`. Modify this variable if your configuration file is located elsewhere.
+
+If the session group *does* already exist, it simply switches you to that group.
+
+If you alias `tmux-menu.sh` to something shorter (like `tm`), switching between active sessions is as easy as `Ctrl-A + d` (to detach) and `tm web` (to attach or create the web group).
+
+Killing session groups is as easy as `tmux-session kill -t web`.
+
+---
+
+## Use
+
+I've found that I use this script on different servers with different configurations.  So I copy the `tmux-menu.template.sh` to `$HOME/tmux-menu.sh` and then alias that to `tm`.
+
+I also include my `.tmux.conf` file with comments about what does what.  If you choose to use it, make sure to copy it to your home directory.
