Layout automation

tmux

There's a few tmux scripting tools around - tmuxinator is one of them. You'll probably need to use the latest repo version (as of July 11, 2013) as the current stable version has a bug that results in narrow panes not being created properly or something. Seems to be resolved in the latest repo version.

Here's a sample tmuxinator config for a layout similar to the example screencap that works well on an 11" MacBook Air in fullscreen mode:

name: voltron
root: ~/
windows:
  - madhax:
      layout: 15a8,169x41,0,0{147x41,0,0[147x13,0,0{81x13,0,0,60,65x13,82,0,61},147x19,0,14,62,147x7,0,34{89x7,0,34,63,57x7,90,34,64}],21x41,148,0,65}
      panes:
        - voltron view disasm
        - voltron view bp
        - lldb
        - voltron view stack
        - voltron view bt
        - voltron view reg

The layout option there configures the actual dimensions of the panes. You can generate the layout info like this:

$ tmux list-windows
1: madhax* (6 panes) [169x41] [layout 15a8,169x41,0,0{147x41,0,0[147x13,0,0{81x13,0,0,60,65x13,82,0,61},147x19,0,14,62,147x7,0,34{89x7,0,34,63,57x7,90,34,64}],21x41,148,0,65}] @11 (active)
