3 Methods I Use to Customize Tmux Like a PRO

Tmux is incredible, but you already know that. Amongst many features, one of the cool things about it is its extendability - writing plugins can be as easy as one short script, or you can write a full blown project and open source it, so it can be install-able with something like TPM.
In this video I'll be covering all the options for creating your own plugins!

I love making tmux plugins, I look forward to seeing what people come up with this knowledge!

[@RazoBeckett.]

hey, nice to see you here.

[@Tony_Sol]

For me, the most helpful tmux plugin is tmux-current-pane-hostname (i forked one and improve same mistakes) - it shows your current user and host, but not only local, also your current ssh session.
So, while you are in pane, which has ssh session, it shows remote host, user which you logged in and connection port. Super helpful especially with synchronize-pane - just jump into pane and see in statusline it ls

Man I just love your videos, they are always well detailed and explained. Real quick I have a nerd font installed on my terminal as well but my tmux icon does not look as good as yours, which one are you using?

[@devopstoolbox]

Thank you!! Can you say which icon specifically? I’m using cattpuccin and it does most of the settings for me when it comes to visuals around tmux (see the “tmux from scratch” video I made a few months ago).

[@jboulevart]

@@devopstoolbox Yes I am talking about the terminal icon displayed before your session name if I am not mistaken. I am also using catppuccin, so I am curious to know.

[@devopstoolbox]

@@jboulevart this is surprising, I don't have any special config around it. What terminal are you using?

[@willernst]

Here’s a like just for the pointer to `jqp`!

[@devopstoolbox]

;)

[@stillWonderingWhyMe]

So you are still on tmux? I thought you had switched to Zellij, did you not?

[@devopstoolbox]

for a while. I still use it sometimes. But back to tmux for the time being.
