I want to change my default shell in byobu without restarting it. However, when I modify lines in ~/.byobu/.tmux.conf to do this:
from:
set -g default-shell /usr/bin/fish
set -g default-command /usr/bin/fish
to:
set -g default-shell /usr/bin/zsh
set -g default-command /usr/bin/zsh
New windows and sessions still start with the fish prompt. I am not sure what else to try besides close out of all of the byobu sessions, but this is undesirable because processes are running which I do not want to kill.
How can I change my default shell in byobu, and can I do it without closing all byobu sessions/windows?
