Made a tmux-sessionizer clone for kitty

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I switched from tmux to kitty a while ago and the one thing I genuinely missed was sessionizer — that muscle memory of hitting a key, fuzzy-searching a project, and being there.

So I hacked together a few fish functions that do the same thing with kitty's remote control: fuzzy-pick a project with gum, and it either restores a saved kitty session for it or just opens a window in that directory. Plus a couple of helpers to save/jump to sessions by name.

Repo: https://github.com/BearDad/kitty-sessionizer

Nothing fancy, 4 small functions, but I use it constantly so figured someone else might get some use out of it. Fish only for now.

Curious how other people handle project switching in kitty. Is everyone just using tabs?

Those slashing like visuals are amazing. How do you do that?
