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

Description#

Like Server.panes but with a filter kwarg passed to $ tmux list-panes -a -f <filter>. tmux drops non-matching panes before libtmux builds objects.

Examples#

>>> sess = server.new_session(session_name='gap7_pane_demo')
>>> window = sess.active_window
>>> target_pane = window.split()
>>> matches = server.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). Example: '#{m:%5,#{pane_id}}' (id match) or '#{C/i:libtmux,#{pane_current_command}}' (case-insensitive substring on the current command). 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
