Is a way to send the same command to all window in tmux, not to all pane in window. synchronize-panes - send command to all pane in one window. I need something like 'at' in screen.

          You could always do something like this:



          session=mysession
          message="hello world"
          tmux list-windows -t $session|cut -d: -f1|xargs -I{} tmux send-keys -t $session:{} $message


          You could also bind this to a key in your tmux.conf like this:



          bind C-e command-prompt -p "session?,message?" "run-shell "tmux list-windows -t %1 | cut -d: -f1|xargs -I{} tmux send-keys -t %1:{} %2""

            This is great - a little addition. I wanted to do the same thing, but to send the same output to all panes in each window. Easily done with the synchronize-panes setting!

          • If you want to actually execute the command, add Enter to the above command. But then it will remove spaces in the message. You can make a function like this to deal with these points: function keys { tmux list-windows -t $session|cut -d: -f1|xargs -I{} tmux send-keys -t $session:{} "$@" Enter}. See this question and this question, respectively, for more. But the github solution below is more thorough!
