I don’t really use tmux often, but I certainly do like a nice presentation and
useful features, hence this configuration. This config file is inspired by
gpakosz’s tmux configuration repo you can find [[https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux][here]].
** Windows and pane creation
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-b7e4f3a6-ab16-47e8-aa72-b74b3a66893d
:END:
Whether if a new *window* will retain the current path. Possible values are:
- true
- false (default)
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
tmux_conf_new_window_retain_current_path=true
#+END_SRC
Whether if a new *pane* should retain the current path. Possible values are:
- true (default)
- false
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
tmux_conf_new_window_retain_current_path=true
#+END_SRC
Whether or not tmux should attempt to reconnect to the current ssh session.
This is still experimental. Possible values are:
- true
- false (default)
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
tmux_conf_new_pane_reconnect_ssh=true
#+END_SRC
Whether tmux should prompt for new session name when creating a new one.
Possible values are:
- true
- false (default)
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
tmux_conf_new_session_prompt=false
#+END_SRC
** Display
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-a1b48bb1-40d8-4ffb-9ec0-b77e63f7ef84
:END:
Whether to activate RGB 24-bit color support (only available in tmux >= 2.2).
Possible values are:
- true
- false (default)
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
tmux_conf_theme_24b_colour=false
#+END_SRC
These variables are for chosing the window style. I use the default one.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
tmux_conf_theme_window_fg='default'
tmux_conf_theme_window_bg='default'
#+END_SRC
Whether the focused pane should be highlighted (only available in tmux >=
2.1). Possible values are:
- true
- false (default)
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
tmux_conf_theme_highlight_focused_pane=false
#+END_SRC
Set the terminal title. Built-in variables are:
- =#{circled_window_index}=
- =#{circled_session_name}=
- =#{hostname}=
- =#{hostname_ssh}=
- =#{username}=
- =#{username_ssh}=
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
tmux_conf_theme_terminal_title='#h ❐ #S ● #I #W'
#+END_SRC
These variables set the left/right separators between sections. With the
current values, you don’t need to install Powerline, but only fonts patched
with Powerline symbols or the standalone PowerlineSymbols.otf font.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
tmux_conf_theme_left_separator_main='\uE0B0'
tmux_conf_theme_left_separator_sub='\uE0B1'
tmux_conf_theme_right_separator_main='\uE0B2'
tmux_conf_theme_right_separator_sub='\uE0B3'
#+END_SRC
*** Colors and style
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-3142ab15-458c-434b-99d6-1f89462a6f26
:END:
Colors displayed in tmux can be chosen thanks to the following variables.
Any color should be formatted as a hexadecimal RGB value preceded by a pound
sign =#= (e.g. =#00afff= for light blue) or =default= to let our terminal
set it for us.
Choose the style of the pane borders. Possible values are:
- thin (default)
- fat
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
tmux_conf_theme_pane_border_style=thin
#+END_SRC
Declare what the colors of the focused pane should be. The first variable
specifies the foreground color, the other the background color.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
tmux_conf_theme_focused_pane_fg='default'

Here we can override or undo some setting from settings from tmux.
First, we can increase the history size.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
set -g history-limit 10000
#+END_SRC
We can also start with mouse mode enabled. But I don’t.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
#set -g mouse on
#+END_SRC
Whether or not Vi mode should be enabled. But really, we should rather export
the =VISUAL= or =EDITOR= environment variables, see the tmux manual. Although
I don’t, as said in my dotfish, I prefer to use Emacs.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
#set -g status-keys vi
#set -g mode-keys vi
#+END_SRC
Replace =C-b= by =C-a= instead of using both prefixes. I personally prefer to
just use =C-b=, hence why the lines are commented.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
# set -gu prefix2
# unbind C-a
# unbind C-b
# set -g prefix C-a
# bind C-a send-prefix
#+END_SRC
Move the status line to the top.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
#set -g status-position top
#+END_SRC
