apropos of nothing, this is what a new tmux window with two panes looks like after my most recent theme tweaking.

mouse emoji only there for mouse mode.

title and current window status bg colour changes for zoom and sync modes.

I pretty much "live" on the commandline, so my shell prompt and tmux environment are idiosyncratic, but IMHO not awful

@nemothorx Dammit. Now I'm hooked. What magic is this?!

@penryu I need a more focused question before I can answer 👍

I can clean up and put my tmux config online if you like

@nemothorx Fair enough. I'll try again.

"HOW DID YOU DO ALL THOSE THINGS?!"

I spent days learning about all the tmux formatting, and really only achieved improved keybindings, a prettier tabline, and limited mouse/clipboard support!

So if you do feel like sharing your config, I would love to study it. 🙏

@penryu I have a config upload from a few years ago, it has window label colouring to match zoom/sync but not the pane title info. https://pub.thorx.net/tmux/

Also have an old tmux wrapper script+config example there for connecting to multiple machines at once

I'll aim for newer config upload later today

(check my shift/ctrl+arrow keybindings. They are core to my tmux navigation)

Oh, and I think I'm running something like v2.9

Index of /tmux/

@penryu same URL now has a 2022 config. I've just tweaked it a bit more relative to that screenshot, and cleaned up the config a bit (not a LOT, but more than none)
