Profiles
System-wide configuration file is /etc/tmux.conf , and personal configuration file in ~ / .tmux.conf .
A profile can define new keyboard shortcuts, custom window, pane layout.
Binding the CAPS LOCK key to CTRL key
On OS X: Open Keyboard preference panel-> System Preference, press the Modifierkey, then CAPS LOCKthe read operation Control.
In Linux, you need to be modified for the keyboard configuration file:
sudo vi /etc/default/keyboard
Locate the XKBOPTIONS beginning of the line, add ctrl:nocapsthe CAPS LOCKbecome another CTRLkey, or add ctrl:swapcapsthe CAPS LOCKkey and the CTRLtwo key functions of mutual exchange. For example, the modified content may be:
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_alt,compose:menu,ctrl:nocaps"
Then run:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
For details, see Emacs WIKI .
Define a much easier by the PREFIX
CTRL-bNot very good press, if you have CAPS LOCK redefined as CTRL, CTRL-awill be better by the multi (GNU-SCreen of PREFIX is CTRL-a).
.tmux.conf configuration command is the SET-Option , or abbreviated as SET .
The tmux PREFIX redefined:
set -g prefix C-a
Here -gthe switch is global global meaning, represents the setting value is used for all sessions tmux.
You can use unbind-keycommand, or short of unbindthe previous command to unbind, such as canceled before PREFIX binding CTRL-b:
unbind C-b
Because the re-binding, before binding is automatically canceled, so in this case, there is no need to use unbind.
When the configuration file .tmux.conf modified, tmux does not automatically re-read and execute, you need tmux session, use the shortcut key PREFIX :to enter the command mode, and perform source-file ~/.tmux.confto reload the configuration file.
Send commands to modify the default delay duration
Tmux send commands to the default length very short delay may cause a conflict with editors such as Vim.
Long delay time can increase more, in order to improve the responsiveness of operation:
set -sg escape-time 1
The default window is numbered starting from 0, since the arrangement position of the keyboard 1 and 0 ,, far better correlation window arranged and numbered from 1:
set -g base-index 1
setCommand is a configuration command for a session, and configuration commands for that window set-window-option, or abbreviated setw. As the window pane is the thing, the default number you want to pane is also set to start at 1, you should use setwthe command:
setw -g pane-base-index 1
Custom buttons, and a user input command
Most tmux shortcut keys are too long or difficult to operate. Should be commonly used shortcut keys re-set.
Creating a shortcut to reload the configuration file
After each modify the configuration file, need to be performed before source-file ~/.tmux.conf, this command can be defined as a shortcut PREFIX r:
bind r source-file ~/.tmux.conf
When reloading, preferably have a message alert, can displayoutput alert message in the status bar command. bindCommand can bind multiple commands with command between each \;separately, such as:
bind r source-file ~/.tmux.conf \; display "Reloaded!"
Such binding when using the required prefix, if not the prefix, then:
bind-key -n C-r source-file ~/.tmux.conf
PREFIX sent to the application in the session
CTRL-aAlso Vim, Bash shortcuts, it is necessary to set up a shortcut to send to other applications CTRL-a:
bind C-a send-prefix
After binding, with only two CTRL-awill be able to send to the other applications CTRL-aof.
Pane split command
The default split command hard to remember, bind shortcuts can image memory:
bind | split-window -h #水平分隔
bind - split-window -v
Move between panes
Default inter-pane can PREFIX ocycle through, or with a PREFIX 方向键switch. Referring Vim, for switching hjkl:
bind h select-pane -L
bind j select-pane -D
bind k select-pane -U
bind l select-pane -R
Simultaneously with the setting PREFIX CTRL-hand PREFIX CTRL-lswitching between the moving window:
bind -r C-h select-window -t :-
bind -r C-l select-window -t :+
Here -rthe switch is repeatable repeatable meaning, represents only once the PREFIX, optionally followed by several successive key bindings. The default time interval is 500 milliseconds, may be provided repeat-timeto modify.
Design changes the size of the pane
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
Disabling mouse
Tmux 2.1 in the following versions:
setw -g mode-mouse off
In tmux 2.1 and above:
setw -g mouse off
Look and feel
Color scheme
Ensure Tmux and terminals support 256 colors.
In the terminal test supports 256 colors:
$wget http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=4568 -O colortest.pl
$perl colortest.pl -w
On Linux, you might need to add in the .bashrc:
[ -z "$TMUX" ] && export TERM=xterm-256color
Mac Snow Leopard end application supports only 16 colors, the color must be installed to support more iTerm2 in iTerm2, open default profile, will be Terminal modemodified xterm-256color, while ensuring that the terminal supports UTF-8.
To tmux can display 256 colors:
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
Change the color
Modify status bar color
set -g status-fg white
set -g status-bg black
Modify window list color
setw -g window-status-fg cyan
setw -g window-status-bg default
setw -g window-status-attr dim
setw -g window-status-current-fg white
setw -g window-status-current-bg red
setw -g window-status-current-attr bright
The modification pane divider bar colors
set -g pane-border-fg green
set -g pane-border-bg black
set -g pane-active-border-fg white
set -g pane-active-border-bg yellow
Custom command line
set -g message-fg white
set -g message-bg black
set -g message-attr bright
