How to toggle a module / set status modules session-specificly?

[twio142]

I made a custom module that displays a cloud icon in ssh sessions. But I can't manage to completely hide it when it's not in a ssh session. My show_ssh function returns an empty string in that case, but an extra set of status separators still remain in the status bar.

Is there a way to toggle a module in a session? Or can I set the @catppuccin_status_modules_right option session-specificly?

If it is a custom module you can do something like

show_test() {
  if [ -n "$SSH_TTY" ]; then
    # ...
    module=$( build_status_module "$index" "$icon" "$color" "$text" )

    echo "$module"
  fi
}

and not print/echo anything if not in ssh

My approach does work! Just need to use a hook to source ~/.tmux.conf once more on session-created.

My only problem is with the status separators that can't be hidden…

Can you add a screenshot then because I have no clue what status separators you are talking about.
$status_left_separator and $status_right_separator are both added in build_status_module so if the variables are correct and you rerun the plugin (since that if is only ran during configuration not on status-interval) there should be no left/right separator.

This is when I open a remote tmux session (ssh to my own machine) from a local tmux session:

You can see the overlapped separators in the lower status bar. It creates an extra blank space there.

If I remove ssh from @catppuccin_status_modules_right:

And my custom module:

show_ssh() {
  local index icon color text module

  index=$1
  icon="$(  get_tmux_option "@catppuccin_ssh_icon"  "#{?@ssh_connection,􀌌,}"           )"
  color="$( get_tmux_option "@catppuccin_ssh_color" "#{?@ssh_connection,$thm_magenta,}" )"
  text="$(  get_tmux_option "@catppuccin_ssh_text"  "#{@ssh_connection}" )"

  [ -z $text ] ||
    module=$( build_status_module "$index" "$icon" "$color" "" )

  echo "$module"
}

Have not tested it myself but on first look I think the extra space is from the empty echo. echo "" will print a new line char. Try setting the echo in an if statement with the module= ... build_status_module ....

To have it completely remove the module you want show_ssh to print nothing to stdout

Hmmm tried this and the problem persists:

show_ssh() {
  # ...
  if [ -n $text ]; then
    module=$( build_status_module "$index" "$icon" "$color" "" )
    echo "$module"
  fi
}

It makes no sense to me neither.
Never mind, It's probably not worth any more effort.
Thanks for the quick response though! :)
