If you're using Neovim as well as tmux, telescope-tmux is pretty awesome for switching sessions, windows and more.

Very nice, thanks. But I'm not always inside neovim to use this plugin tho

You don't have to already be inside of Neovim.

Tmux 3.2's new display-popup command is a neat way to access the telescope picker when you are outside of Neovim.

You can just set up a keybinding, and a new instance of Neovim will start in a popup window inside of Tmux.

There's a fractional delay while Neovim starts up, but I find it well within tolerance, personally.

I've only used the builtin choose-session, and haven't had the need for anything more (I usually only have one session, maybe 3 at most) but this gives me ideas to iterate over all open panes with previews given by fzf --preview 'tmux capture-pane -p -t {}'.

Yeah, whatever fits you, I usually open each repo in seperated session with tmux-sessionizer so fuzzy find session is useful
