.tmux ===== Self-contained, pretty and versatile `.tmux.conf` configuration file. ![Screenshot](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/553208/9889393/85e50e4e-5bfa-11e5-99d8-76572350803a.gif) The `master` branch targets tmux `HEAD`. You may want to use the `1.9` or `2.0` branch. 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 ` +`](http://pempek.net/articles/2013/04/14/maximizing-tmux-pane-new-window/) - mouse mode toggle with ` m` - automatic usage of `reattach-to-user-namespace` if available - laptop battery status - configurable new windows and panes behavior (optionally retain current path) - [Facebook PathPicker][] integration if available - [Urlview][] integration if available [Powerline]: https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline [Facebook PathPicker]: https://facebook.github.io/PathPicker/ [Urlview]: https://packages.debian.org/stable/misc/urlview This configuration uses the following bindings: - ` C-c` creates a new session - ` e` opens `~/.tmux.conf.local` with the editor defined by the `$EDITOR` environment variable (defaults to `vim` when empty) - ` r` reloads the configuration - ` C-f` lets you switch to another session by name - ` C-h` and ` C-l` let you navigate windows (default ` n` and ` p` are unbound) - ` Tab` brings you to the last active window - ` h`, ` j`, ` k` and ` l` let you navigate panes ala Vim - ` H`, ` J`, `` K`, ` L` let you resize panes - ` <` and ` >` let you swap panes - ` +` maximizes the current pane to a new window - ` m` toggles mouse mode on or off - ` U` launches Urlview (if available) - ` F` launches Facebook PathPicker (if available) - ` Enter` enters copy-mode - ` b` lists the paste-buffers - ` p` pastes from the top paste-buffer - ` P` lets you choose the paste-buffer to paste from - `C-l` clears both the screen and the history Additionaly, `vi-choice`, `vi-edit` and `vi-copy` named tables are adjusted to closely match [my own Vim configuration][] [my own Vim configuration]: https://github.com/gpakosz/.vim.git Bindings for the `vi-choice` mode-table: - `h` collapses the current tree node - `l` expands the current tree node - `H` collapes all the tree nodes - `L` expands all the tree nodes - `K` jumps to the start of list (tmux 2.0+) - `L` jumps to the end of list (tmux 2.0+) - `Escape` cancels the current operation Bindings for the `vi-edit` mode-table: - `H` jumps to the start of line - `L` jumps to the end of line - `q` cancels the current operation - `Escape` cancels the current operation Bindings for the `vi-copy` mode-table: - `v` begins selection / visual mode - `C-v` toggles between blockwise visual mode and visual mode - `H` jumps to the start of line - `L` jumps to the end of line - `y` copies the selection to the top paste-buffer - `Escape` cancels the current operation The "maximize any pane to a new window with ` +`" feature is different from stock `resize-pane -Z` as it allows you to further split a maximized pane. Also, you can maximize a pane to a new window, then change window, then go back and the pane is still in maximized state in its own window. You can then minimize a pane by using ` +` either from the source window or the maximized window. ![Maximize pane](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/553208/9890858/ee3c0ca6-5c02-11e5-890e-05d825a46c92.gif) Mouse mode allows you to set the active window, set the active pane, resize panes and select switch to copy-mode to select text. ![Mouse mode](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/553208/9890797/8dffe542-5c02-11e5-9c06-a25b452e6fcc.gif) 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). Configuration ------------- While this configuration tries to bring sane default settings, you may want to customize it further to your needs. Instead of altering the `~/.tmux.conf` file and diverging from upstream, the proper way is to edit the `~/.tmux.conf.local` file: echo "set -g history-limit 10000" >> ~/.tmux.conf.local You will also notice the default `.tmux.conf.local` file contains variables you can change to alter different behaviors. ### Enabling the Powerline like visual theme Powerline originated as a status-line plugin for Vim. Its popular eye-cacthing look is based on the use of special symbols: Powerline Symbols To make use of these symbols, there are several options: - use a font that already bundles those: this is e.g. the case of the [2.010R-ro/1.030R-it version][source code pro] of the Source Code Pro] font - use a [pre-patched font][powerline patched fonts] - use your preferred font along with the [Powerline font][powerline font] (that only contains the Powerline symbols): this highly depends on your operating system and your terminal emulator - [patch your preferred font][powerline font patcher] by adding the missing Powerline symbols: this is the most difficult way and is no more documented in the Powerline manual [source code pro]: https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/releases/tag/2.010R-ro%2F1.030R-it [powerline patched fonts]: https://github.com/powerline/fonts [powerline font]: https://github.com/powerline/powerline/raw/develop/font/PowerlineSymbols.otf [powerline font patcher]: https://github.com/powerline/fontpatcher Please see the [powerline manual] for further details. Then edit the `~/.tmux.conf.local` file and uncomment the following line: #tmux_conf_theme=powerline_patched_font [fonts patched with powerline symbols]: https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts [powerline manual]: http://powerline.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html#fonts-installation ### Configuring the battery indicator Edit the `~/.tmux.conf.local` file and uncomment the following lines: #tmux_conf_battery_symbol=heart #tmux_conf_battery_symbol_count=5 The possible values for `tmux_conf_battery_symbol` are `heart` or `block` (default). To use the heat palette for the battery indicator, edit the `~/.tmux.conf.local` file and uncomment the following line: #tmux_conf_battery_palette=heat To use the gradient palette for the battery indicator, edit the `~/.tmux.conf.local` file and uncomment the following line: #tmux_conf_battery_palette=heat To display the battery charging (⚡ U+26A1) / discharging (🔋 U+1F50B) status indicators, edit the `~/.tmux.conf.local` file and uncomment the following line: #tmux_conf_battery_status=true ### Configuring new windows and new panes creation Edit the `~/.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 ### Accessing the Mac OSX clipboard from within tmux sessions [Chris Johnsen created the `reattach-to-user-namespace` utility](https://github.com/ChrisJohnsen/tmux-MacOSX-pasteboard) that makes `pbcopy` and `pbpaste` work again within tmux. To install `reattach-to-user-namespace`, use either [MacPorts][] or [Homebrew][]: $ port install tmux-pasteboard or $ brew install reattach-to-user-namespace Once installed, `reattach-to-usernamespace` will be automatically detected.
