tmux

In tmux, the status bar normally shows the current working directory of a pane in the window list. If I have for example two panes in a window, and the two panes have different working directories, is it possible to automatically update the status bar with the current working directory of the pane I’m currently focused on? To clarify, if I have a window with two panes, and the first pane is in ~ and the second pane is in ~/Sites , I would like the window list in the status bar to say 1:~ when I am focused on the first pane, and 1:~/Sites when I am focused on the second pane.

I am currently in a byobu-tmux session and am ssh'ed into a screen session. How do I detach the remote screen session without detaching byobu-tmux session? Some things to note, I can't run byobu-config because I'm on osx and don't have python-newt (w/ snack) installed. And, I've run byobu-ctrl-a in Emacs mode, but that doesn't seem to allow me to ctrl-a d out of the remote screen session. You should be able to double-escape with Ctrl - a . To send a detach message to the inner byobu-screen session, press: Ctrl - a Ctrl - a d Full disclosure: I am the author and maintainer of Byobu . It is easy

When I search in, for example, man ls while in a tmux session, the search strings don't appear highlighted - the page jumps down so that the search string is on the top line of the buffer, as expected, but it's not highlighted. Doing the same thing in the same shell while not in a tmux session results in highlighted search strings. I have no idea where to start looking to solve this. Any hints are appreciated.

Are there any options to control the background color of the active or inactive panes in Tmux? It seems that tmux-2.1 (released 18 October 2015) now allows the colours of individual panes to be specified. From the changelog : * 'select-pane' now understands '-P' to set window/pane background colours. e.g. [from the manual] to change pane 1's foreground (text) to blue and background to red use: select-pane -t:.1 -P 'fg=blue,bg=red' To mimic iTerm colour scheme: To answer the original question, I use the following lines in my ~/.tmux.conf for setting the background/foreground colours to mimic

I'm struggling to make the Solarized colorscheme correctly working on an Ubuntu 13.10 machine inside Vim inside tmux inside the gnome-terminal. I've started configuring gnome-terminal using the script on this repository and it displays the colors correctly. The same goes if I run Vim (with the official Solarized colorscheme) inside the terminal, without tmux. Then I tried to configure tmux using this . It happens that when I run Vim the syntax highlight for php or javascript code is wrong or, at least, different from the one I see running Vim without tmux. I've tried also running tmux as tmux

Instead of having to type tmux every time, how could I have tmux always be used for new session windows ? So if I have no terminal windows open and then I open one, how can that first session be in tmux ? Seems like a .bashrc sort of thing perhaps? huon warning this can now 'corrupt' (make it unable to open a terminal window - which is not good!) your Ubuntu logins. Use with extreme caution and make sure you have a second admin account on the computer that you can log into in case you have the same problems I did. See my other answer for more details and a different approach. Given that

Can anyone help explain what's going on with tmux , bash , and exec ? I'm trying to set up a tmux session with a 4-pane window. Ideally, I want to run a command in 3 of the panes: e.g. a Ruby Thin server and a couple of Ruby daemons. This is what I have so far: ~/.bin/tmux-foo : #!/bin/sh tmux new-session -d -s foo 'exec pfoo "bundle exec thin start"' tmux rename-window 'Foo' tmux select-window -t foo:0 tmux split-window -h 'exec pfoo "bundle exec compass watch"' tmux split-window -v -t 0 'exec pfoo "rake ts:start"' tmux split-window -v -t 1 'exec pfoo' tmux -2 attach-session -t foo ~/.bin
