Research direction

Start by locating the libtmux entry points that wrap new-window, split-window, respawn-window, and respawn-pane. Done means those operations accept repeated -e NAME=VALUE arguments and pass them to the newly created process, including the documented example.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Works as of tmux 3.0 (changes):

  • Add a -e flag to new-window, split-window, respawn-window, respawn-pane to
    pass environment variables into the newly created process.

tmux split-window -e MOO=3 -e BARK=5
