Restore every running tmux session into its own VS Code integrated terminal
with one click.
This extension is intentionally small and safe: it discovers existing sessions
on the default tmux server and attaches to them. It never creates, renames, or
kills a tmux session.
Features
One-click restore from the Restore tmux status bar button
Tmux Activity Bar view listing sessions, window counts, and attach status
Click a session to open it or focus its existing terminal
Open every session at once from the sidebar title action
Clean terminal labels that use the session name without an extra prefix
Manual refresh action for sessions created outside VS Code
One integrated terminal per running tmux session
Remote SSH support: tmux runs on the remote workspace host
Reuses terminals that are already open
Handles session names containing spaces or non-ASCII characters
Leaves every tmux session running when VS Code disconnects
No telemetry and no network access
Requirements
tmux must be installed and available on PATH on the workspace host.
For Remote SSH, install the extension on the SSH host when VS Code prompts
you to choose an installation target.
Usage
Connect to your local or Remote SSH workspace.
Open the Tmux view in the Activity Bar to browse sessions.
Click a session to open or focus it, or click Restore tmux in the status
bar to restore every session.
The extension runs tmux list-sessions and opens each discovered session
in a separate integrated terminal.
You can also run Tmux: Restore All Sessions from the Command Palette.
Optional shortcut:
macOS: Cmd+Option+R
Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Alt+R
Running the command again does not duplicate terminals that are already open.
Scope
The extension reads sessions from the default tmux server. It does not discover
sessions created with a custom socket via tmux -L or tmux -S.
简体中文
一键读取当前机器上已有的全部 tmux 会话，并在 VS Code 中为每个会话打开一个
独立集成终端。
