tmux session_name count

Question

Let's say that I created four new tmux sessions (1, 2, 3, and 4). Now, I kill every window in session 2. tmux list-session only show that 1, 3, and 4 are active. If I create a new tmux session, it is named 5.

How can I make realise tmux that "session 2" (or just the number 2) can be recycled?

Of course, I can rename session 5 to session 2 but that's an extra command and I am lazy.

Note that I am talking here about sessions and not windows numbering. I know about renumber-windows.

This was discussed on the tmux mailing list at the time that renumber-windows was introduced, but looking at session.c it doesn't appear to have been implemented yet.

No, that is helpful. It's information I did not have before. ^_~ – Sardathrion - against SE abuse Jul 01 '14 at 08:34
