Using Tmux For Interactive Commands

This handles the annoying problem of running interactive CLI tools like vim, Python REPLs, or git rebase through Claude. Standard bash can't control these because they need a real terminal, so this uses tmux's detached sessions with send-keys and capture-pane to programmatically drive them. You spin up a session, send input as tmux key names (Enter, Escape, C-c), capture the screen state, repeat as needed. The pattern works well once you remember to sleep briefly after starting a session and always send Enter as a separate argument. Makes it possible to automate things that genuinely need terminal interaction without building your own PTY management.
