Tmux dot files

Installation

Clone this repo inside you .config folder:

git clone https://github.com/asilvam133/.tmux.git ~/.config/tmux

Clone Tmux Plugin Manager:

git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.config/tmux/plugins/tpm

The Primeagen's Tmux Sessionizer

Place scripts/tmux-sessionizer in ~/.local/bin/ and run chmod +x ~/.local/bin/tmux-sessionizer.

Load config and install plugins

Then, open a Tmux session by running tmux. The session name is not important, because the tmux-sessionizer will name it after the project (directory) name.

Run source ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf

Just to make sure the configuration is loaded, run prefix+d to detach from the current from the current session.

IMPORTANT - The prefix is Ctrl+a in this config

Run tmux kill-server. Then open a Tmux a session by running tmux.

Finally, run prefix+I to install the plugins available in the tmux.conf file.

By default, there are only two plugins:

• nhdaly/tmux-better-mouse-mode: Improves using the mouse to scroll up/down.
• tmux-plugins/tmux-sessionist: Gives some extra capabilities to handle Tmux sessions while we are already in a Tmux session. For instance:
  • prefix+C will create a new session without detaching.
  • prefix+X will delete the current session and will move to another session after.

Testing everything

First, kill the Tmux server detaching from the current session with prefix+d and tmux kill-server afterwards.

Run tmux.

Run prefix+<C-f>. Type the directory where you would like to CD. Make sure you ran chmod +x on the tmux-sessionizer script if nothing happens.

Type prefix+s to see all the available sessions.

Navigate using k and j to go up and down (or the arrow keys) and select the first session (the one with the index zero) and press enter.

Type prefix+X to delete the session. Press y to confirm.

Some notes

Check The Primeagen's dot files to check the original tmux-sessionizer.

I try to have the UI as minimal as possible, so right now I only change the background to blend with my terminal background.
