.tmux

Self-contained, opinionated .tmux.conf configuration file.

Features

• C-a acts as secondary prefix, while keeping default C-b prefix
• visual theme inspired by powerline
• maximize any pane to a new window with <prefix>+ (tmux 1.6+)
• mouse mode toggle with <prefix>m
• automatic usage of reattach-to-user-namespace if available

Installation

$ cd
$ rm -rf .tmux
$ git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git
$ ln -s .tmux/.tmux.conf
$ touch ~/.tmux.conf.local

Note: tmux 1.8 doesn't silently ignore sourcing missing files anymore. That's why you now have to touch ~/.tmux.conf.local.

Accessing the Mac OSX clipboard from within tmux sessions

Chris Johnsen created the reattach-to-user-namespace utility that makes pbcopy and pbpaste work again within tmux.

If available, reattach-to-user-namespace will be automatically used by this tmux configuration. You just have to install it for instance with brew:

$ brew install reattach-to-user-namespsace
