I figured out a way to do this. I’m using tmux 2.5. Background In the tmux man page, it states that there are two groups of environment variables: global and per-session. When you create a new tmux session, it will merge the two groups together and that becomes the set of environment variables available within … Read more
This seem to be a regression on macOS Sierra. A solution that worked for me has been mentioned by Josh McGinnis https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/543: brew install reattach-to-user-namespace Ensure the following is set in .tmux.conf: set -g default-shell $SHELL set -g default-command “reattach-to-user-namespace -l ${SHELL}” In .vimrc or ~/.config/nvim/init.vim (for Neovim): set clipboard=unnamed Now all is well and … Read more
There is an answer already here, but this link I think summarises it better. In a nutshell, use the -t flag: ssh -t host tmux attach If you want to set it into your .ssh/config file, look in the ssh_config manpage for the RequestTTY option: RequestTTY Specifies whether to request a pseudo-tty for the session. … Read more
From my testing on tmux 2.6, you’ll need two things for the command to move an entire window over: The name of the session you want to move the window from (for future reference, $session_name) The index of the window you want to move (in the session it’s currently in, of course — we’ll call … Read more
I had faced this problem for a long time and after a bit of searching I figured out that this was being caused because I accidently hit Ctrl+S (Ctrl+A+S is my shortcut for switching panes), and this turns off flow control in terminals and stops the terminal from accepting input. It can be reenabled by … Read more
Actually I found the way to do that. Suppose the two windows are number 1 and 2. Use join-pane -s 2 -t 1 This will move the 2nd window as a pane to the 1st window. The opposite command is break-pane
set is the alias of set-option. set -g is used to set global options and -ga appends values to existing settings. From Tmux’s man page: With -a, and if the option expects a string or a style, value is appended to the existing setting. For example: set -g status-left “foo” set -ag status-left “bar” Will … Read more
The development version of tmux has support for this, so the next release (1.8?) should also support it. There have been two changes that can be combined to indicate in your status line whether a prefix key has been pressed: You can include the extended “format” replacements in the values of the “status” options. These … Read more
When you don’t use tmux or screen, you only need to configure your terminal emulators to advertise themselves as “capable of displaying 256 colors” by setting their TERM to xterm-256color or any comparable value that works with your terminals and platforms. How you do it will depend on the terminal emulator and is outside of … Read more
