  sudo pacman -S fzf
  1. Install TPM (Tmux Plugin Manager):
  git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.config/tmux/plugins/tpm
  1. copy the tmux.conf file from this repository to ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf
  git clone https://github.com/sujit-shrc/dotfiles.git
  cp -r dotfiles/tmux ~/.config/
  1. Or if you want to do manually:
  mkdir -p ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf
  # then copy all the code from tmux.conf in this repo and paste it into ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf file
  1. Configure tmux in your shell which is you are using: Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:
  alias tmux='tmux -f ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf'
  1. Reload shell config:
  source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc
  1. Start tmux:

Additional key bindings and configs with i3 wm

Important

If you want to auto start tmux then configure it with i3wm like this

  1. Auto start tmux with i3:
  nano ~/.config/i3/config
  [[ $TERM == "screen" ]] && exec tmux
  1. Sync System Clipboard with tmux clipboard:

  set -g set-clipboard on
  bind -T copy-mode-vi Enter send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel "xclip -in -selection clipboard"
