wugh / tmux-config

:green_book: Example tmux configuration - screen + vim key-bindings, system stat, cpu load bar.

Tmux is a terminal multiplexer. Tested with tmux 1.5+.

This config has support for tmux-mem-cpu-load.

Prefix mapped to Ctrl-A for screen users.

New to tmux? Pre-order a copy of my new book The Tao of tmux. Scheduled for release this December.

Want more tmux? Check out the libtmux python library for controlling tmux, and load your code projects via YAML/JSON with tmuxp.
