tmux.conf

##### Basic Usage #####

# First things first:  Remap the prefix key to reduce conflicts with Emacs!
unbind C-b

# By default, we'll use Control-backslash as the prefix key.
set -g prefix 'C-\' ; bind 'C-\' send-prefix

# However, some people complain about this, so we'll also add a few
# bindings that let you quickly select the binding you want.
# You can add your own to ~/.tmux.conf.local (see bottom of file).
#
# These lines take the form:
# bind A set -g prefix 'C-a' \; bind 'C-a' send-prefix
#        \_________________/    \____________________/
# The first command sets C-a as the prefix.
# The second command allows the prefix keystroke to be sent to the
# active pane (in case the binding overrides something that was useful).
bind A set -g prefix 'C-a' \; bind 'C-a' send-prefix
bind T set -g prefix 'C-t' \; bind 'C-t' send-prefix
bind \ set -g prefix 'C-\' \; bind 'C-\' send-prefix

# Reload tmux config so we can pick up changes to this file without needing to restart tmux
bind r source-file ~/.tmux.conf \; display "Reloaded tmux configuration!"

# Index windows from 1, not 0, so they line up a little better
# with the order of the number keys on the keyboard
set -g base-index 1
setw -g pane-base-index 1

# Reduce the command delay time to something a bit shorter
set -sg escape-time 1
# Extend the repeat interval for repeatable commands (e.g., resize-pane)
set -sg repeat-time 1000



##### Mouse Support (or lack thereof) #####

# No mouse for you!
# (Note: turning on mouse support seems to make it impossible to use the
# mouse to copy text into the system clipboard. Surely there's a way
# around this if I ever feel like shaving that yak. -JW)
setw -g mode-mouse off



##### Scrollback Navigation #####

# Use vi-style navigation in Copy mode (which is also scrollback mode)
setw -g mode-keys vi



##### Window/Pane Management #####

# Split windows more intuitively (except for the fact that tmux doesn't
# understand that a horizontal split means the pane should be split down the
# middle horizontally, and likewise for a vertical split).
bind | split-window -h # horizontal columns
bind - split-window -v # vertical rows

# Navigate panes vim-style!
bind h select-pane -L
bind j select-pane -D
bind k select-pane -U
bind l select-pane -R

# And windows too!
bind -r C-l select-window -t :+
bind -r C-h select-window -t :-

# Quickly jump between two windows
bind i last-window

# Resizing panes
bind -r H resize-pane -L 5
bind -r J resize-pane -D 5
bind -r K resize-pane -U 5
bind -r L resize-pane -R 5

# Renumber windows
bind m command-prompt -p "move window to:"  "move-window -t '%%'"




##### Colors #####
# Ensure we're using 256 colors
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

# Status bar
set -g status-style bg="#333333",fg=white

# Window list
setw -g window-status-style bg="#333333",fg=green
setw -g window-status-current-style bg=brightgreen,fg=black
setw -g window-status-activity-style bg=brightblue,fg=black

# Pane borders
set -g pane-border-style bg=black,fg=green
set -g pane-active-border-style bg=yellow,fg=green

# Command line
set -g message-style bright,bg=black,fg=white

# Status Bar Items
set -g status-utf8 on
set -g status-left-length 40
set -g status-left "#[fg=green]Session: #S #[fg=yellow]#I #[fg=green]#P"
set -g status-right "#[fg=yellow]%d %b %R #[fg=green]#(wemux status_users)"
set -g status-justify centre
set -g status-interval 15

# Monitor windows for activity
setw -g monitor-activity on
set -g visual-activity on



##### Local settings (if any) #####
