Use github to sync tmux config

NOTE: This repo was forked from tony/tmux-config and I made adaptation

• Tmux version should be higher than 2.5
• <prefix> changed to Ctrl + a (because vim use Ctrl + b)
• Use tpm to manage tmux plug-in, already integrated:
  • tmux-resurrect: Restore tmux environment after system restart
  • tmux-continuum: tmux environment will be saved at the interval of 15 minutes. All the saving happens in the background without the impact to your workflow
  • tmux-mem-cpu-load: A simple, lightweight program provided for system monitoring in the status line of tmux

Download & Installation

Download:

git clone https://github.com/howhow/tmux-config ~/.my_config/tmux

Download tpm:

Link tmux config to home:

ln -s ~/.my_config/tmux/tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf

Start tmux

1. type tmux in terminal

You're good to go! The plugin was cloned to ~/.tmux/plugins/ dir and sourced.

tmux attch -t <session_name>

4. kill a session

tmux kill-session -t <session_name>

5. kill all session

tmux ls | grep : | cut -d. -f1 | awk '{print substr($1, 0, length($1)-1)}' | xargs kill

Keymaps in this tmux.config

Our prefix/leader key is Ctrl + a now (just like the screen multiplexer). This sequence must be typed before any tmux shortcut. Some keymaps are customized, use <prefix> + ? to bring up list of keyboard shortcuts

For session

keymap	desc
<prefix> + : + type new + enter	new session
<prefix> + s	list sessions
<prefix> + $	name session
<prefix> + d	de-attach from session

For window

keymap	desc
<prefix> + w	list window
<prefix> + c	create a new window
<prefix> + ,	rename current window
<prefix> + n	next window
<prefix> + p	previous window
<prefix> + f	find window
<prefix> + 0 ~ 9	move to window number 0 ~ 9
<prefix> + &	kill window

For panel

keymap	desc
<prefix> + -	split current window horizontally
<prefix> + |	split current window vertically
<prefix> + q	show panel number
<prefix> + x	kill a panel
<prefix> + Space>	to change pane arrangement
<prefix> + o	to rotate panes
<prefix> + h/j/k/l	to move left/down/up/right. Respectively. (vim hjkl)
<prefix> + ;	to go to last panel

Copy-paste mode work flow

1. enter copy mode by <prefix> + [ or scroll the mouse

3. press v to start select word
