Tmux config
Tmux config file
I recommend my Tmux config file, which can both use in the local or the remote machine.
You can also clone the repos, and link the Tmux config file by this command:
ln -s ~/github/dotfiles/runcom/tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
When you first start the Tmux session, it will auto download and install some useful plugins on the machine.
TERM setting
By default, the MacOS doesn’t support the tmux-256color, you can just set this option to use Tmux: set-option default-terminal "screen-256color".
Otherwise, you need to follow this instructure to support tmux-256color on MacOS.
- Check the ncurses
which -a tic
If you have multi responses, please only keep the original version of the ncurses.
- Download the latest nucurses
curl -LO https://invisible-island.net/datafiles/current/terminfo.src.gz && gunzip terminfo.src.gz
