=====
|
|
|
|
Self-contained, pretty and versatile `.tmux.conf` configuration file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
|
|
- tmux **`2.1+`** running inside Linux, Mac, OpenBSD or Cygwin
|
|
- outside of tmux, `$TERM` must be set to `xterm-256color`
|
|
|
|
To install, run the following from your terminal: (you may want to backup your
|
|
existing `~/.tmux.conf` first)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git
|
|
$ ln -s -f .tmux/.tmux.conf
|
|
$ cp .tmux/.tmux.conf.local .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then proceed to customize your `~/.tmux.conf.local` copy.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|

This configuration uses the following bindings:
|
|
|
|
- `<prefix> C-c` creates a new session
|
|
- `<prefix> e` opens `~/.tmux.conf.local` with the editor defined by the
|
|
`$EDITOR` environment variable (defaults to `vim` when empty)
|
|
- `<prefix> r` reloads the configuration
|
|
- `<prefix> C-f` lets you switch to another session by name
|
|
- `<prefix> C-h` and `<prefix> C-l` let you navigate windows (default
|
|
`<prefix> n` and `<prefix> p` are unbound)
|
|
- `<prefix> Tab` brings you to the last active window
|
|
- `<prefix> h`, `<prefix> j`, `<prefix> k` and `<prefix> l` let you navigate
|
|
panes ala Vim
|
|
- `<prefix> H`, `<prefix> J`, `<prefix> K`, `<prefix> L` let you resize panes
|
|
- `<prefix> <` and `<prefix> >` let you swap panes
|
|
- `<prefix> +` maximizes the current pane to a new window
|
|
- `<prefix> m` toggles mouse mode on or off
|
|
- `<prefix> U` launches Urlview (if available)
|
|
- `<prefix> F` launches Facebook PathPicker (if available)
|
|
- `<prefix> Enter` enters copy-mode
|
|
- `<prefix> b` lists the paste-buffers
|
|
- `<prefix> p` pastes from the top paste-buffer
|
|
- `<prefix> P` lets you choose the paste-buffer to paste from
|
|
- `C-l` clears both the screen and the history
|
|
|
|
Additionally, `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` collapses 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 `<prefix> +`" feature is different
|
|
from builtin `resize-pane -Z` as it allows you to further split a maximized
|
|
pane. It's also more flexible by allowing you to 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 `<prefix> +`
|
|
either from the source window or the maximized window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mouse mode allows you to set the active window, set the active pane, resize
|
|
panes and automatically switches to copy-mode to select text.
|

|
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.
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the default `.tmux.conf.local` file to know more about variables
|
|
you can adjust to alter different behaviors. Pressing `<prefix> e` will open
|
|
`~/.tmux.conf.local` with the editor defined by the `$EDITOR` environment
|
|
variable (defaults to `vim` when empty).
|
|
|
|
### Enabling the Powerline look
|
|
|
|
Powerline originated as a status-line plugin for Vim. Its popular eye-catching
|
|
look is based on the use of special symbols: <img width="80" alt="Powerline Symbols" style="vertical-align: middle;" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/553208/10687156/1b76dda6-796b-11e5-83a1-1634337c4571.png" />
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
[2.030R-ro/1.050R-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][terminal support]
|
|
- [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]
|
|

|
|
|
|
Please see the [Powerline manual] for further details.
|
|
|
|
Then edit the `~/.tmux.conf.local` file (`<prefix> e`) and adjust the following
|
|
variables:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tmux_conf_theme_left_separator_main=''
|
|
tmux_conf_theme_left_separator_sub=''
|
|
tmux_conf_theme_right_separator_main=''
|
|
tmux_conf_theme_right_separator_sub=''
|
|
```
|
|
### Configuring the status line
|
|
|
|
Contrary to the first iterations of this configuration, by now you have total
|
|
control on the content and order of `status-left` and `status-right`.
|
|
|
|
Edit the `~/.tmux.conf.local` file (`<prefix> e`) and adjust the
|
|
`tmux_conf_theme_status_left` and `tmux_conf_theme_status_right` variables to
|
|
your own preferences.
|
|
|
|
This configuration supports the following builtin variables:
|
|
|
|
- `#{battery_bar}`: horizontal battery charge bar
|
|
- `#{battery_percentage}`: battery percentage
|
|
- `#{battery_status}`: is battery charging or discharging?
|
|
- `#{battery_vbar}`: vertical battery charge bar
|
|
- `#{circled_session_name}`: circled session number, up to 20
|
|
- `#{hostname}`: SSH aware hostname information
|
|
- `#{hostname_ssh}`: SSH aware hostname information, blank when no SSH
|
|
connection detected
|
|
- `#{loadavg}`: load average
|
|
- `#{pairing}`: is session attached to more than one client?
|
|
- `#{prefix}`: is prefix being depressed?
|
|
- `#{root}`: is current user root?
|
|
- `#{uptime_d}`: uptime days
|
|
- `#{uptime_h}`: uptime hours
|
|
- `#{uptime_m}`: uptime minutes
|
|
- `#{uptime_s}`: uptime seconds
|
|
- `#{username}`: SSH aware username information
|
|
- `#{username_ssh}`: SSH aware username information, blank when no SSH
|
|
connection detected
|
|
|
|
### Accessing the Mac OSX clipboard from within tmux sessions
|
|
|
|
[Chris Johnsen created the `reattach-to-user-namespace`
|
|
utility][reattach-to-user-namespace] 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.
|

### Using the configuration under Cygwin within Mintty
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible to use this configuration under Cygwin within Mintty, however
|
|
support for Unicode symbols and emojis lacks behind Mac and Linux.
|
|
|
|
Particularly, Mintty's text rendering is implemented with GDI which has
|
|
limitations:
|
|
|
|
- color emojis are only available through DirectWrite starting with Windows 8.1
|
|
- display of double width symbols, like the battery discharging symbol indicator
|
|
(U+1F50B) is buggy
|
|
|
|
To get Unicode symbols displayed properly, you have to use [font linking].
|
|
Open `regedit.exe` then navigate to the registry key at
|
|
`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink`
|
|
and add a new entry for you preferred font to link it with the Segoe UI Symbol
|
|
font.
