I am working on writing a tmux script to create a fun tmux environment in cygwin.
When I type 'task calendar' the output appears to look fine, but when I run the same command through my tmux script, the word wrapping creates a poorly formatted output.
This is my super basic tmux script.
#!/bin/bash -x
tmux split-window -v ;
tmux split-window -h top ;
tmux select-pane -t 0;
tmux split-window -h mc;
tmux select-pane -t 0;
tmux split-window -h "view -p ~/Documents/*";
tmux select-pane -t 0;
tmux select-pane -t 3
tmux send-keys 'task calendar' Enter
I can't make sense of how-to control the output so the calendar doesn't look like this:
You will see

$task
calendar, but this was due to the tmux send-keys 'task calendar' Enter command above.
If I run 'task calendar by itself, the output appears properly, and the lines are lined up as I would expect.
Apologies, as this is my first post, and I'm not super familiar with all of the programming terminology. (mostly self-taught)
I think an easy solution would be to limit the calendar month to a single month output, but I can't find this in the man pages. If you have the solution, can you also explain where I'm going wrong so I can learn from this? :) My brain is toast right now...
