tmux sets start-directory for a new split window, and the directory may not exist, how to create it and cd?












0















I often have two panes on a tmux window, left pane to view source code, and right pane to cmake .. && make. I want to change to the source code directory quickly and mkdir build && cd build on right pane, but the build directory may not exist, if so, create and cd build directory if non-exist ? how to do this using tmux inner command or other advanced way ?



the following is my temporary and coarse approach, but It's not correct.



bind o kill-pane ; split-window -h -c '#{pane_current_path}/build'

          send-keys is the magic.



          bind o kill-pane ; split-window -h -c '#{pane_current_path}' ;
          send-keys -l 'cmd build' ; send-keys 'C-m' 'C-l'


          send-keys -l stands for literal.
          C-m to enter.
          C-l to clear the screen.

          P.S. cmd build is my own custom command works the same as mkdir build && cd build.

            send-keys is the magic.



            bind o kill-pane ; split-window -h -c '#{pane_current_path}' ;
            send-keys -l 'cmd build' ; send-keys 'C-m' 'C-l'


            send-keys -l stands for literal.
            C-m to enter.
            C-l to clear the screen.

            P.S. cmd build is my own custom command works the same as mkdir build && cd build.
