TPM - Tmux Plugin Manager

It can be installed from AUR too, but as it manages plugins, it seems to me better for it to manage itself.

I’m using standard XDG dir structure.

git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.config/tmux/plugins/tpm

Key bindings

Main prefix is Ctrl+A so every other keybinding need prefix first:

Windows and panes

I’m using classic Vim like keys. I switched to tmux-pain-control which you can check for all keybindings.

∣	Split window horizontally
-	Split window vertically
h	Switch to pane: left
l	Switch to pane: right
j	Switch to pane: down
k	Switch to pane: up
H	Move pane to far left
L	Move pane to far right
J	Move pane to far down
K	Move pane to far up
Alt+j	Next window
Alt+k	Previous window
w	Switch between windows with preview

Sessions

s	List of sessions

Clipboard

Esc	Switch to copy-mode
F	Switch to copy-mode with jump plugin
y	Yank in copy-mode

Other goodies

u	List all URLs in buffer

Tmux management

R	Reload Tmux config
I	Install plugins
U	Update plugins

@	Promote current pane to session
Ctrl-@	Promote current window to session

	Join currently marked pane to current session/window and switch to it
t-	- horizontally
t∣	- vertically
t@	- fullscreen

bind M-C attach-session -c "#{pane_current_path}"

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-sessionist'

Logging

P	Start/stop logging in the current pane
Alt-p	Screen capture
Alt+P	Save complete pane history

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-logging'

Tmux resurrect & Tmux continuum

Beware: because of continuum plugin autosaving, this plugin should be last one before TPM initialization.

• GitHub - tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum: Continuous saving of tmux environment. …
• GitHub - tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect: Persists tmux environment across system…

Ctrl-s	Save
Ctrl-r	Restore

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum'
# set -g @continuum-restore 'on'

Initialize plugin manager

This should be latest line in config file.

run '~/.config/tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'
