I have a variable as below (all commands in this post issued in a shell bash/zsh):
var="test.abc"
tmux new-window -n ${var}-windows
in the new created window I issue this command:
var="test.abc"
tmux send-keys -t$var-windows "echo dafsd" Enter
I got the error: can't find pane: abc-windows
I try another command: tmux send-keys -t test\.abc-windows "echo dafsd" Enter, got the same error as above: can't find pane: abc-windows
tm list-windows does show as below:
2: test.abc-windows* (1 panes) [416x117] [layout 5154,416x117,0,0,15] @12 (active)
meaning test.abc-windows is created as expected but I can't seem to send-keys to it event with literal name test.abc-windows / test\.abc-windows
The same issue when I try to create new session name that contains dot as below:
var="test.abc"
tmux new-session -d -s $var-session -n $var-session
I got below error:
bad session name: test.abc-session
This time, session is not created (contrast to above that test.abc-windows is created)
Howto create new tmux session/windows that contain dot properly?
