Contributing a useful tip for tmux integration

[sdondley]

Sorry to pollute the issue queue with this but I wasn't sure where else to put it.

I wrote a couple of simple bash functions that make it easy to pull up and edit a cheat document in a new pane and close it from the command line when using tmux. Maybe it could be included in the documentation somewhere.

tmux_cheat_page() {
if [[ "$TERM" =~ 'screen' ]] && [[ -n "$CHEAT_EDITOR" ]]; then

  pane=$(tmux showw -v @tmux_cheat_pane)
  output=$(tmux list-panes -t ${pane} 2>&1)

  if [[ $pane ]] && ! [[ -z "$pane" ]] && ! [[ $output =~ 'find pane' ]]; then
    tmux -q respawn-pane -k -t $pane cheat -e $1
  else
    tmux split-window -vf cheat -e $1
    pane=$(tmux display-message -p "#{pane_id}")
    tmux setw @tmux_cheat_pane $pane
    tmux select-pane -t {last}
  fi

fi
}

tmux_cheat_page_close() {

  pane=$(tmux showw -v @tmux_cheat_pane)

  if [ $pane ]; then
     tmux kill-pane -t $pane
  fi
}

export -f tmux_cheat_page
export -f tmux_cheat_page_close

@sdondley, thanks for this.

I'm probably going to create an "Advanced Usage" section in the README after I get a few more features implemented. I'll add this to that documentation after its brought online.
