Add support for Zellij #23
Conversation
Related to shobrook#11 Update the environment check in `wut/wut.py` to support Zellij. * Modify the check to include `os.environ.get("ZELLIJ")`. * Update the error message to include Zellij, indicating that `wut` must be run inside a tmux, screen, or Zellij session.

I don't know anything about Zellij, but won't you also have to update the function that gets the terminal output? |
Yes, you would need to do that as well. Pretty sure the DumpScreen function (https://zellij.dev/documentation/keybindings-possible-actions) is the right one. |

I think I have this working, but I am holding off on the PR until I confirm there isn't a better way. So far I'm hitting two issues with Zellij and subprocess. The easy one is that it does not like check_output. moving to subprocess.run(). This is likely fixable, but I was more focused on getting it all to work. My real issue is that using subprocess causes zellij to dump a blank pane instead of the current. The only way I've found to address this is using os.system() , which is not ideal imho. Going to contact the zellij devs to see if there's a better way that I'm just not seeing. Working test is at https://github.com/verchalent/wut if anyone wants to sanity check. |

Maybe using a pseudo-terminal would help. |
I'll give it a try. |
