Interactive search of tmux sessions and windows with synchronize-panes on
I use this tmux-configuration based on the post from bartj3 in [1].
bind j split-window -v "tmux list-sessions -F '#S' | fzf --reverse | xargs tmux switch-client -t"
bind k split-window -v "tmux list-window -F '#W' | fzf --reverse | xargs tmux select-window -t"
It let's you interactively (search-as-you-type) search for other sessions and windows by name and therefore switch between them more efficiently.
PROBLEM:
If you use the above while synchronize-panes is on, your search key-strokes will also type in the other (non-search-)panes.
QUESTION:
Does anyone have an idea on how to limit the key-strokes to the search-pane?

You can save the current state of synchronize-panes before calling fzf, and then restore it to on afterwards if necessary. For example, this works for me, using bash as the default shell:
bind-key k split-window -v '
if [[ $(tmux show-window-option synchronize-panes) == *on ]];
then tmux set-window-option -q synchronize-panes off;
restore="tmux set-window-option -q synchronize-panes on";
fi;
tmux list-windows -F "#W" | fzf --reverse | xargs tmux select-window -t;
$restore'
Since this is a long shell command, it can be split over many lines provided they each end with a backslash, and shell semi-colons (;) are used as if it was all on one line. You might prefer to put this as a shell script in a file in your PATH and call it instead.
