Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it. You should now be able to use the new format strings.

Manual Installation

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/eduarbo/pacmux ~/clone/path

Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf:

run-shell ~/clone/path/pacmux.tmux

Reload TMUX environment:

# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

Now, you should be able to use the new format strings.

Usage

This plugin enables 4 new format strings to give your status line a Pᗣᗧ·•·MᗣN look. All of them are available for the Tmux options status-left, status-right, window-status-format and window-status-current-format.

#{pacmux_window_flag} is meant to be used in the window-status-format tmux option to represent the window flag with a symbol.

Destructuring symbols

• ᗧ Pac-Man represents the active window
• · Pac-Dot represents a quiet window
• • Power Pellet represents a window with activity
• ᗣ Blue Ghost represents a window with bell

#{pacmux_sessions} and #{pacmux_overview} are meant to be used either in status-left or status-right tmux option.

#{pacmux_sessions} will represent each session as Blinky, Pinky, Inky or Clyde. The ghost representing the current session will be followed by the session name.

#{pacmux_overview} will give you and overview of the sessions and windows of the attached session in a Pᗣᗧ·•·MᗣN style.

#{pacmux_pacman} just prints the Pac-Man-like character ᗧ in yellow. Useful for window-status-format tmux option.

Example of usage

To have the same structure as the preview, add the following to tmux.conf:

# Style for session name and zoom icon
set -g status-left-style fg=brightwhite,bold
set -g status-left '#{?window_zoomed_flag,  ,}#{pacmux_sessions} '

set -g status-right '#{pacmux_overview}'

set -g window-status-separator ' '
set -g window-status-style fg=brightblack,bold,bg=black
set -g window-status-last-style default
set -g window-status-activity-style default
set -g window-status-bell-style default
set -g window-status-format '#{pacmux_window_flag} #I#[none,fg=brightblack]/#W'

set -g window-status-current-style fg=white,bold,bg=black
set -g window-status-current-format '#{pacmux_pacman} #I#[none,fg=white]/#W'

Changing defaults

By default these styles are used:

• Pac-Man: fg=yellow
• Blinky: fg=red
• Pinky: fg=brightmagenta
• Inky: fg=brightcyan
• Clyde: fg=yellow
• Blue Ghost: fg=blue
• Dots fg=white

Note that these colors depend on your terminal / X11 config.

You can change these defaults by adding the following user variables to tmux.conf. Use the tmux style format (See the message-command-style option).

set -g @pacmux-blinky-style "fg=#fc0d1b"
set -g @pacmux-pinky-style "fg=#febafe"
set -g @pacmux-inky-style "fg=#2dfffe"
set -g @pacmux-clyde-style "fg=#feb75b"

set -g @pacmux-blue-ghost-style "fg=#2533fb"
set -g @pacmux-pacman-style "fg=#ffff00"
set -g @pacmux-dots-style "fg=#ffb897"

Don't forget to reload tmux environment ($ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf) after you do this.
