I’m sharing my tmux-window user mode setup. It overrides default tmux-terminal-impl in order to have popup support and passes some critical env vars which original implementation fails to do.
hook global ModuleLoaded tmux %{
define-command -override -hidden -params 2.. tmux-terminal-impl %{
evaluate-commands %sh{
editor="${kak_client_env_EDITOR:-kak}"
git_editor="${kak_client_env_GIT_EDITOR:-$editor}"
target_pane="$kak_client_env_TMUX_PANE"
tmux_cmd="$1"
shift
case "${tmux_cmd%% *}" in
display-popup)
# -e switch is not yet supported here
