* Presentation
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Presentation-0b37c6c0
:END:
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: Windows_and_pane_creation-66275518
: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:

- ~false~
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix

#+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: Display-d5ae1908
: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).

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.

#+END_SRC
** Colors and style
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Display-Colors_and_style-0994a014
: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

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
