TMUX - Single window group, multiple session.

So I have been using tmux for a while and have grown to like it and have since added many many customizations to it. Now once you start getting the hang of it, you'll naturally want to do more with the tool.

Now tmux has a concept of window-group and session and if you are like me you'll want multiple session that connects to the same window group instead of a new window group every time. Basically I just need different views into the same set of windows that I have already created, I don't want to create a new set of windows every time I fire up my terminal.

This is the default case if you simply use the tmux command as your login shell, effectively creating a new group of windows every time you start tmux.

This is less than ideal because, if you are like me, you fire up one-off terminals all the time and you don't want all those one-off jobs to stay running in the background. Plus sometimes you need information fro

Open multiple files in NERDTree at once with Visual selection and [NERDTree defaults] o, i, s, and t.
" Filename: ~/.vim/ftplugin/nerdtree.vim
" Purpose: Given a Visual-Line selection in the NERDTree buffer, this code
" lets you open all selected files with the same key mappings, which, by
" default, are:
" o - open files in previous window
" i - open files in horizontally split windows
" s - open files in vertically split windows
" t - open files in new tabs
execute "vnoremap <buffer> " . g:NERDTreeMapActivateNode . " :call <SID>OpenMultiple('p')<CR>"
