Tmux
====
Defines [tmux][1] aliases and provides for auto launching it at start-up.
Settings
--------
### Auto-Start
Starts a tmux session automatically when Zsh is launched.
To enable this feature when launching Zsh in a local terminal, add the
following line to *zpreztorc*:
zstyle ':prezto:module:tmux:auto-start' local 'yes'
To enable this feature when launching Zsh in a SSH connection, add the
following line to *zpreztorc*:
zstyle ':prezto:module:tmux:auto-start' remote 'yes'
In both cases, it will create a background session named _prezto_ if the tmux
server is not started.
With `auto-start` enabled, you may want to control how multiple sessions are
managed. The `destroy-unattached` option of tmux controls if the unattached
sessions must be kept alive, making sessions available for later use, configured
in *tmux.conf*:
set-option -g destroy-unattached [on | off]
#### iTerm2 Integration
[iTerm2][6] offers significant integration with tmux. This can be enabled by
adding the following line to *zpreztorc*:
zstyle ':prezto:module:tmux:iterm' integrate 'yes'
Read [iTerm2 and tmux Integration][7] for more information.
Aliases
-------
- `tmuxa` attaches or switches to a tmux session.
- `tmuxl` lists sessions managed by the tmux server.
Caveats
-------
On Mac OS X, launching tmux can cause the error **launch_msg(...): Socket is not
connected** to be displayed, which can be fixed by installing
[reattach-to-user-namespace][3], available in [Homebrew][4], and adding the
following to *tmux.conf*:
set-option -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l $SHELL -l"
Furthermore, tmux is known to cause **kernel panics** on Mac OS X. A discussion
about this and Prezto has already been [opened][2].
