tmux-power-zoom
Zoom pane to separate window, and un-zoom back into the original location.
This way you can open other panes whilst focusing on the zoomed pane, without risking getting a crowded mess of panes.
You can now trigger the power-zoom action also on the place-holder pane, and it will be restored!
Purpose
Quite often when I zoom a pane, work in it for a while and then figure out I need to open a pane to check something I have completely forgotten I am working in a zoomed pane, so as I open a new pane the new pane suddenly becomes squeezed in next to the original pane, often far to small to be practically usable.
This plugin zooms panes into a new window, so that it is convenient to open support panes. Hitting Smart Zoom again will unzoom and move the pane back to it's original location, if no other panes are present the temp window is closed.
The temp window is named using title and ID of the zoomed pane, so that if other panes were open and it is left running, it will later be a hint as the purpose of that window.
Usage
Hit <prefix> + @power_zoom_trigger to toggle Power Zoom. If @power_zoom_mouse is enabled, right double click also toggles Power Zoom.
