A configuration I learned recently is to use `set -g base-index 1` which make the windows start by the index 1 instead of 0, so it is easier to change windows with +window_index. Another one is `set -g renumber-windows`.

My tmux config got a good spring cleaning thanks to you, I removed some stuff that I never used and put more goodness into it. Nice music btw! I am just not sure about the status bar as i am usually on a laptop and tend to auto-hide the task bar and defend every pixel of free screen real estate. I will check if I can make the status bar smaller.

Great video! Here are some additional tips: 1. You can setup a vim auto command to source the tmux file on save 2. I like having tpm pointed at ~/.config/tmux since that’s where my config file is 3. I use macOS keybindings for my tmux workflow! Huge game changer and only requires a single keystroke (using command) I’m looking forward to the next video, keep up the good work!

@thiagobitten Месяц назад

This is great, thanks! Do you know maybe how to enable clipboard sharing between different windows? Here's my use case: - I run vim in tmux window-0 - run tests in tmux window-1 test fails and I want to copy the filename from window-1 and paste it into vim running in window-0. Appreciate it! ps.: you can also use "setw -g mode-keys vi" to enable vim motions inside tmux

@rohankewalramani8878 Месяц назад

Awesome to follow along with! One issue if someone could give me a hand - when I try to setup config 3 of the prebuilt catppuccin tmux setups, when I add it and source the file, the changes don't take effect? Thanks as always for the awesome content Chris! Can't wait for part 3!!

Hi there! You mentioned that you set CTRL to CAPSLOCK, and I suppose you use the original ESC to exit insert mode or decline vim commands or no? Because I’ve rebind capslock to ESC and use the original CTRL btn, so just interested in your experience. Thanks in advance for the feedback 🙏

@typecraft_dev Месяц назад

Yup I bind caps to ctrl and I use esc to exit insert mode

@NathanTenney Месяц назад

A lot of people bind repeated presses of jk to go back to normal mode.

@GeorgeMatterVI Месяц назад

ctrl-c works in place of esc in terminal vim 90% of the time, I personally find this easy enough w capslock-control since I'm used to ctrl-c/ctrl-d on the terminal

@viktorkrepak Месяц назад

@@NathanTenney I've been using JK for many years, but finally I've decided to change that, JK is a bit flaky for me and after moving to CapsLock I feel much better when typing and switching between modes. But It's just a personal preference

Hello, I was using Dracula theme in tmux and when I switched my config as suggested in this video I could not get the changes to show up. I made sure to comment out or delete all Dracula lines but still no. In the plugins directory Dracula also had a tmux/ folder, once looking in side I could see that was Dracula theme not catppuccin. Delete that folder and reinstall plugins, and now it looks like what you see in the video. One more reason to have unique names for the themes and not tmux. Thanks, Joe

@cherry-55 Месяц назад

I am not sure what it is and why tmux requires me to do this, but for me (I am also on mac and iterm2), i need to set 'set -s escape-time 0'. For some reason, without this i have noticeable delay when pressing esc to come back to normal mode while using tmux.

Hi, nerds. If you will want to install beautiful cappuccin theme and you have tmux version 3.0 - you will have error 1. What you need to do: is update your tmux version on 3.2. It can be done from apt-manager for example or you can build it by hands.

@NathanTenney Месяц назад

I've added commands in my zsh config to launch named tmux sessions for each of my projects. This sets up the base directory for my tmux sessions and allows me to bounce between projects and keep a semi-consistent set of windows and panes per project. The commands also detect if the named session is still active, so repeating the command attaches to the existing session. Once in tmux, I can switch projects by either detaching and then reattaching to the correct project, or switching tmux sessions with w.
