Finding a tmux window where a pts belong

For some reason I seem to collect a lot of tmux windows (and browser tabs, but that's a different story). I have a process that is in the background of one of the windows, and I would like to find that window. I can see the process and its attached pts device in ps. Is there a way to find which pts device is associated to which window?

          Yes, with the list-panes command.



          tmux list-panes -a -F '#D #{pane_tty}'
          %0 /dev/pts/9
          %1 /dev/pts/10


          You can use that to list many more things:



          tmux list-panes -a -F '#D #T #{pane_tty} #{pane_current_command} #{pane_current_path}'
          tmux list-windows -a -F '#{window_id} #W #{window_layout}' | while read w i; do echo $w $i; tmux list-panes -t "$w" -F " #D #{pane_tty} #T #{pane_current_command}"; done


          Look at the FORMATS section from the tmux man page.
