search_windows ( self, filter: str | None = None, # noqa: A002 ) → QueryList[Window]

Description#

Like Session.windows but with a filter kwarg passed to $ tmux list-windows -t <session> -f <filter>.

Examples#

>>> _ = session.new_window(window_name='gap7s_target')
>>> _ = session.new_window(window_name='other_window')
>>> matches = session.search_windows(filter='#{m:gap7s_*,#{window_name}}')
>>> [w.window_name for w in matches]
['gap7s_target']
Parameters
  • filter (str | None) # – tmux format expression (-f flag). tmux silently expands a malformed filter (unclosed #{...}, unknown format token) to empty, which the filter treats as false — every row is suppressed and no stderr is emitted. A bad filter is indistinguishable from "filter matched nothing"; verify filter syntax against the FORMATS section of tmux(1). Warning: added 0.57

  • # noqa: A002 #

tmux command#

The tmux commands behind search_windows.

tmux C API#
