Summary
status-leftandstatus-right#{nowplaying}placeholder while preserving surrounding status text and unrelated#(...)commandsPlaceholder semantics and idempotency
A status option is written only when its current value contains the exact literal
#{nowplaying}. All exact occurrences on that side are replaced in one write. Near matches and unrelatednowplaying.shtext do not trigger or suppress replacement.After installation, the exact placeholder no longer remains. Reloading the plugin therefore performs no status write; no installed-command guard is needed.
Tests
bash -n nowplaying.tmux scripts/*.sh./scripts/test.shshellcheck nowplaying.tmux scripts/*.shResidual risks
Paths containing literal double quotes, dollar signs, backticks, or backslashes are not covered by the path-with-spaces quoting test and may require a dedicated shell-quoting strategy if those installation paths need support.
