Prerelease This site documents an alpha of libtmux. Its structure, URLs and APIs are subject to change.

tmux find-window

Search for a glob(7) pattern or, with -r, regular expression match-string in window names, titles, and visible content (but not history).

Syntax

tmux find-window [-CiNrTZ] [-t target-pane] match-string

Alias: findw.

Behavior

Search for a glob(7) pattern or, with -r, regular expression match-string in window names, titles, and visible content (but not history). The flags control matching behavior: -C matches only visible window contents, -N matches only the window name and -T matches only the window title. -i makes the search ignore case. The default is -CNT. -Z zooms the pane.

This command works only if at least one client is attached.
