.tmux
=====
Self-contained, opinionated `.tmux.conf` configuration file.
![Screenshot](screenshot.png)
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](https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline)
- [maximize any pane to a new window with `<prefix>+`](http://pempek.net/articles/2013/04/14/maximizing-tmux-pane-new-window/) (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
[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 your `~/.tmux.conf.local` file and uncomment the following lines:
#tmux_conf_battery_symbol=heart
#tmux_conf_battery_symbol_count=5
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](https://github.com/ChrisJohnsen/tmux-MacOSX-pasteboard) 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
