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

Description#

Like Window.panes but with a filter kwarg passed to $ tmux list-panes -t <window> -f <filter>.

Examples#

>>> target_pane = window.split()
>>> matches = window.search_panes(
... filter=f'#{{m:{target_pane.pane_id},#{{pane_id}}}}'
... )
>>> [p.pane_id for p in matches] == [target_pane.pane_id]
True
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_panes.

tmux C API#
