.tmux

Self-contained, opinionated .tmux.conf configuration file.

Screenshot

The master branch targets tmux 1.9+. You may want to use the 1.7 or 1.8 branch.

Please note that the official tmux 1.9 and 1.9a SEGFAULT when using the maximize pane feature. Some Linux distributions like Debian provide a patched tmux 1.9a. Depending on whether or not the running tmux version has a buggy swap-pane command, the maximize pane feature may be disabled. On Mac OS X, I've been using tmux HEAD for a while without troubles (brew install --HEAD tmux). The swap-pane command has been fixed in upstream by commit 78e783e.

Features

  • C-a acts as secondary prefix, while keeping default C-b prefix
  • visual theme inspired by powerline
  • maximize any pane to a new window with <prefix>+ (tmux 1.6+)
  • mouse mode toggle with <prefix>m
  • automatic usage of reattach-to-user-namespace if available
  • laptop battery status
  • configurable new windows and panes behavior (optionally retain current path)

Installation

$ cd
$ rm -rf .tmux
$ git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git
$ ln -s .tmux/.tmux.conf
$ cp .tmux/.tmux.conf.local .

If you're a ViM user, setting the $EDITOR environment variable to vim will enable and further customize the vi-style key bindings (see tmux manual).

Configuring the visual theme

You first need to install fonts patched with powerline symbols (see also powerline manual).

Then edit your ~/.tmux.conf.local file and uncomment the following line:

#tmux_conf_theme=powerline_patched_font

Configuring the battery indicator

Edit your ~/.tmux.conf.local file and uncomment the following lines:

#tmux_conf_battery_symbol=heart
#tmux_conf_battery_symbol_count=5

To use a heat palette for the battery indicator, edit your ~/.tmux.conf.local file and uncomment the following line:

#tmux_conf_battery_palette=heat

See ~/.tmux.conf.local for more details.

Configuring new windows and new panes creation

Edit your ~/.tmux.conf.local file and uncomment the following lines:

#tmux_conf_new_windows_retain_current_path=false
#tmux_conf_new_panes_retain_current_path=true

See ~/.tmux.conf.local for more details.

Accessing the Mac OSX clipboard from within tmux sessions

Chris Johnsen created the reattach-to-user-namespace utility that makes pbcopy and pbpaste work again within tmux.

If available, reattach-to-user-namespace will be automatically used by this tmux configuration. You just have to install it for instance with brew:

$ brew install reattach-to-user-namespace
