A configuration I learned recently is to use `set -g base-index 1` which make the windows start by the index 1 instead of 0, so it is easier to change windows with +window_index. Another one is `set -g renumber-windows`.
Been in this software game for 25 years now and your videos are hands down S tier. Clear and concise and just incredible. Are your configs available for folks? Either way, great stuff. Cheers
Amazing! I have been using Oh My Tmux config for a long time, but these configs make Tmux look way more beautiful! Now I´m waiting for you next video! Thx
Great video! Here are some additional tips: 1. You can setup a vim auto command to source the tmux file on save 2. I like having tpm pointed at ~/.config/tmux since that’s where my config file is 3. I use macOS keybindings for my tmux workflow! Huge game changer and only requires a single keystroke (using command) I’m looking forward to the next video, keep up the good work!
Hi, nerds. If you will want to install beautiful cappuccin theme and you have tmux version 3.0 - you will have error 1. What you need to do: is update your tmux version on 3.2. It can be done from apt-manager for example or you can build it by hands.
My tmux config got a good spring cleaning thanks to you, I removed some stuff that I never used and put more goodness into it. Nice music btw! I am just not sure about the status bar as i am usually on a laptop and tend to auto-hide the task bar and defend every pixel of free screen real estate. I will check if I can make the status bar smaller.
try tick as a single key prefix ...its sooo much better to not press 2 key combo as a prefix, then when you want to press tick, you press it twice. That is very very very small price (even if you code typescript)
This was great, thank you. I was always scared to use tmux as it seemed like such a PITA to remember more shortcuts but there aren't too many to get going.
Hi great and helpful video's. I have been using tmux for a couple of years now, and still I got value from this vid. The only feedback I want to give is maybe add the links where you go to in the description :). Keep up the great work!
edit: idk if i missed it, but i misunderstood and thought this changed the terminal too. took me a minute to realize i gotta setup that with catpuccin too for the background color etc. BUT now i got tokyonight on everything. so happy ILY OMG IT WAS A PLUGIN AND THEME. tried askin some other linux/nvim streamers how they made it look like this with the tabs and everything so fancy. i thought it was IW3 or something. nope. da real hero of kvatch, typecraft.
@@NathanTenney Nothing wrong with that, I just like having Ctrl so I can quickly do Ctrl l, u, a, and y in the terminal among other frequent shortcuts.
anybody else get the feeling of seeing magnum explain his retro 80s terminal settings - with that keyboard but better resolution? the sudden low key hype around tmux and vim… i call it “new wave programming” (tm).
dayum that last part the config 3 is lit, I would love to learn each of those config properties better, I could not find a short image or video demonstration of each property. Words are not enough on certain things.
Thanks! Adding theme for my tmux config. Thats for sure :) Also I’m using temperature gauge in the top right corner, helps to switch attention without leaving the terminal. And I’ve refused to use GitHub desktop today, cuz I have lazygit. What a nerd I am, after your videos! 😅
For some reason the pane titles are not being set by correctly for me. #W always shows zsh in the status line no matter what program is opened in the shell. I also explicitly tried setting the title to '#{pane_current_command}' but even then it shows zsh only. I also tried #T but prints the hostname. Do you think there is something wrong with shell/terminal or tmux config ?
you change the key binding from Ctrl+B to Ctrl+S because your unique way to use keyboard. You can just apply that to everyone else because it annoying after all.
Hi there! You mentioned that you set CTRL to CAPSLOCK, and I suppose you use the original ESC to exit insert mode or decline vim commands or no? Because I’ve rebind capslock to ESC and use the original CTRL btn, so just interested in your experience. Thanks in advance for the feedback 🙏
ctrl-c works in place of esc in terminal vim 90% of the time, I personally find this easy enough w capslock-control since I'm used to ctrl-c/ctrl-d on the terminal
@@NathanTenney I've been using JK for many years, but finally I've decided to change that, JK is a bit flaky for me and after moving to CapsLock I feel much better when typing and switching between modes. But It's just a personal preference
You are a father figure. By the way, I think you forgot to tell us to run the source-file order through prefix + b + : because if we don't do it manually we never get to the conf file in the first place, so the r bind is not usable.
Hello, I was using Dracula theme in tmux and when I switched my config as suggested in this video I could not get the changes to show up. I made sure to comment out or delete all Dracula lines but still no. In the plugins directory Dracula also had a tmux/ folder, once looking in side I could see that was Dracula theme not catppuccin. Delete that folder and reinstall plugins, and now it looks like what you see in the video. One more reason to have unique names for the themes and not tmux. Thanks, Joe
Awesome to follow along with! One issue if someone could give me a hand - when I try to setup config 3 of the prebuilt catppuccin tmux setups, when I add it and source the file, the changes don't take effect? Thanks as always for the awesome content Chris! Can't wait for part 3!!
@@typecraft_dev Thanks man! I got it working this morning by removing the plugin from the folder in .tmux and then reinstalling it and starting a new session and it worked!
This is great, thanks! Do you know maybe how to enable clipboard sharing between different windows? Here's my use case: - I run vim in tmux window-0 - run tests in tmux window-1 test fails and I want to copy the filename from window-1 and paste it into vim running in window-0. Appreciate it! ps.: you can also use "setw -g mode-keys vi" to enable vim motions inside tmux
I am not sure what it is and why tmux requires me to do this, but for me (I am also on mac and iterm2), i need to set 'set -s escape-time 0'. For some reason, without this i have noticeable delay when pressing esc to come back to normal mode while using tmux.
Excellent Vid. I ran into an issue. Ran in circles.. Might have been tied to the Tequila... But might help someone else just starting... I moved my config file from my Mac over to my ProxMox box. (I haven't attempting GNU SHOE... yet).. Started TMUX and none of my configs worked.. Finally played the google game and WTF... tmux ls FM tmux kill-server... Start TF over. situation solved.
after installing this my escape key started behaving weirdly inside nvim. pressing it wouldn't escape immediately instead it would allow me to move the line or type things. the fix is just to include this line in the conf set -s escape-time 0 or use the sensible plugin great video btw, it gave me the courage i needed to start using tmux.

I can’t believe a bonafide neck-beard like you don’t have a split keyboard yet.
(Thanks for the awesome tutorials and fantastic positive attitude. )
lol I’ve tried many of them but they wind up hurting my wrists more believe it or not. The best ergonomic change for me was a track ball mouse
@@typecraft_dev Yeah track ball mice are next level ergonimic bliss!

Hey man. How do you setup keybindings for macOS? I was not able to make it work with M (meta) to use a single keystroke.
You got me! I used to use Tokyo Night, but you're right-Catppuccin is really awesome. You've just earned a new subscriber!

What a great video series! I’ve basically recreated your setup in nix - with the ability for everything to re-theme itself if I change color scheme
Good stuff! Thank you, I picked up a couple of things for my own tmux config
Very nice config.

just what I needed after becoming an nvimmer thanks to you
I really like your videos. Keep going ❤️
If you say so!
At 1:12, is that some sort of insider joke or a vampire glyph that just appears on the neck for a while?
Before I tried to make it pretty, now I try to keep it simple and useful
No reason it can't be both. I spend all day, every day in the terminal. Might as well make it pleasant.
@@NathanTenney sometimes you keep it simple and minimmalist so it can easily moved and deployed
I try to make it nice without adding dependencies.
these videos are the nice push I need to use tmux just a bit better - thanks!
this guy knows what he's doing
Nice to see someone else using ctrl-s! Never understood why people overwrite ctrl-a, which is home/BOL in the terminal (via readline)
the tmux neck tattoo killed me xD
I've never had an issue with C-b since I use my right hand to press the b key. Oh and setting caps lock to Ctrl is the best decision I've ever made :)
Honestly can’t remember the last time I needed to use capslock, I made the switch and have never looked back
I've set mine to esc. Yes, I'm one of those oddities that still uses esc to go back to normal mode in vim/nvim
@@NathanTenney Nothing wrong with that, I just like having Ctrl so I can quickly do Ctrl l, u, a, and y in the terminal among other frequent shortcuts.
If you're using Linux, make sure your '~$ locale' output has UTF-8 encoding. It helps rendering the nerdfonts.
You are posting so many good videos at the moment but what I really want to know is where you got that hoodie! haha!
@typecraft Why dont you post a link to a github repo with the code or at least a gist?

Thanks for great content

Thumbnail game is getting better by the video
i think you use dvorak layout because type the ctrl +s is really easy
you're mapping caps lock to work as control, well, what about escape? I'm just curious!
Esc is in the normal spot for me
Le Durrr
Lol
Love it ❤
Awesome video! Thank you, nerd!
Something I like to do is to unbind % and use | instead and unbind " and use - instead. Feels way more natural
2:32 That's why you'd bind the enter key to right-control 😎 Then you'd just hold enter with you right hand and tap the B with your left hand 👉🅱️
Thanks man.
Your keyboard sound very good is that a custom keyboard?
Nope it’s a happy hacking keyboard
On my Linux system I have to use Shift + r to get config to reload, am assuming I need nerd fonts for statusbar... Great video and have subscribed ;-)
