one of my favorite tmux patterns is "kill it if its running and run it again somewhere else" which uses send keys in a bash script. I'm always knocking up scripts like this

    #!/bin/bash

    TMUX_SESSION=test
    TMUX_WINDOW=QUICK_TEST
    # your custom command you want run
    COMMAND=~/bin/quick_test  
    ARGS=$*

    tmux kill-window -t $TMUX_SESSION:$TMUX_WINDOW
    tmux new-window -t $TMUX_SESSION -n $TMUX_WINDOW
    tmux send-keys -t $TMUX_SESSION:$TMUX_WINDOW"$COMMAND $ARGS" C-m

run the script in the terminal/ide you're working/editing. it blinks away on another screen (or another machine entirely eg. raspberry pi monitor in the kitchen) without disrupting your main task.
