# Tmux sensible
|
|
|
|
A set of tmux options that should be acceptable to everyone.
|
|
|
|
Inspired by [vim-sensible](https://github.com/tpope/vim-sensible).
|
|
|
|
### Principles
|
|
|
|
- `tmux-sensible` options should be acceptable to **every** tmux user!<br/>
|
|
If any of the options bothers you, please open an issue and it will probably
|
|
be updated (or removed).
|
|
- if you think a new option should be added, feel free to open a pull request.
|
|
- **no overriding** of user defined settings.<br/>
|
|
Your existing `.tmux.conf` settings are respected and they won't be changed.
|
|
That way you can use `tmux-sensible` if you have a few specific options.
|
|
|
|
### Goals
|
|
|
|
- group standard tmux community options in one place
|
|
- remove clutter from your `.tmux.conf`
|
|
- educate new tmux users about basic options
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
# utf8 is on
|
|
set -g utf8 on
|
|
set -g status-utf8 on
|
|
|
|
# address vim mode switching delay (http://superuser.com/a/252717/65504)
|
|
set -s escape-time 0
|
|
|
|
# increase scrollback buffer size
|
|
set -g history-limit 50000
|
|
|
|
# tmux messages are displayed for 4 seconds
|
|
set -g display-time 4000
|
|
|
|
# refresh 'status-left' and 'status-right' more often
|
|
set -g status-interval 5
|
|
|
|
# set only on OS X where it's required
|
|
set -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l $SHELL"
|
|
|
|
# upgrade $TERM
|
|
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
|
|
|
|
# emacs key bindings in tmux command prompt (prefix + :) are better than
|
|
# vi keys, even for vim users
|
|
set -g status-keys emacs
|
|
|
|
# focus events enabled for terminals that support them
|
|
set -g focus-events on
|
|
|
|
# super useful when using "grouped sessions" and multi-monitor setup
|
|
setw -g aggressive-resize on
|
|
|
|
### Key bindings
|
|
|
|
# easier and faster switching between next/prev window
|
|
bind C-p previous-window
|
|
bind C-n next-window
|
|
|
|
Above bindings enhance the default `prefix + p` and `prefix + n` bindings by
|
|
allowing you to hold `Ctrl` and repeat `a + p`/`a + n` (if your prefix is
|
|
`C-a`), which is a lot quicker.
|
|
|
|
# source .tmux.conf as suggested in `man tmux`
|
|
bind R source-file '~/.tmux.conf'
|
|
|
|
"Adaptable" key bindings that build upon your `prefix` value:
|
|
|
|
# if prefix is 'C-a'
|
|
bind C-a send-prefix
|
|
bind a last-window
|
|
|
|
If prefix is `C-b`, above keys will be `C-b` and `b`.<br/>
|
|
If prefix is `C-z`, above keys will be `C-z` and `z`... you get the idea.
|
|
|
|
### Installation with [Tmux Plugin Manager](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm) (recommended)
|
|
|
|
Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in `.tmux.conf`:
|
|
|
|
set -g @tpm_plugins ' \
|
|
tmux-plugins/tpm \
|
|
tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible \
|
|
'
|
|
|
|
Hit `prefix + I` to fetch the plugin and source it. That's it!
|
|
|
|
You might also want to restart your tmux server, just in case.
|
|
|
|
### Manual Installation
|
|
|
|
Clone the repo:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible ~/clone/path
|
|
|
|
Add this line to the bottom of `.tmux.conf`:
|
|
|
|
run-shell ~/clone/path/sensible.tmux
|
|
|
|
Reload TMUX environment with `$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf`, and that's it.
|
