# Darkcloud TMUX Config
## Features ##
* A custom theme that matches the one used in [darkcloud-vimconfig](https://github.com/prurigro/darkcloud-vimconfig).
* A bandwidth monitor showing the current upload and download speed of either **eth0** or the device you've set to **$NETDEV**.
* Sane defaults and a set of custom key bindings that group similar ideas and make frequently used commands easier to access.
* Optional support for powerline fonts that looks oh so much better when they're used :).

## Installation ##
1. Choose either **tmux.powerline.conf** if powerline fonts are available or **tmux.normal.conf** if they're not, and install it to __/etc/tmux.conf__ for a system-wide install or __~/.tmux.conf__ for a local install.
2. Install **bwrate** to somewhere available in **$PATH** and make it executable (ie: `install -Dm755 bwrate /usr/local/bin/bwrate`)
3. If your network device isn't named **eth0**, set **$NETDEV** to the name of the device you'd like to use somewhere tmux will see it when it runs (ie: `echo 'export $NETDEV="wlan0"' >> ~/.bashrc`)
## Key Bindings ##

| `.` and `,` | Move and swap the current window with the provided window number respectively |
| `$` and `#` | Rename the current session and window with the provided name respectively |
| `<Space>` and `<Ctrl><Space>` | Move to the previously selected window and pane respectively |
| `h`, `j`, `k` and `l` | Move left, down, up and right between panes respectively like the arrow keys |
| `` ` `` | Toggle synchronized input between the panes on the current window |
| `<Escape>` | Clear the terminal history, tmux history and the current window/pane |
| `?` and `/` | Show help for available key bindings and commands respectively |
| `y` and `<Ctrl>p` | Enter __copy mode__ and paste from the copy buffer respectively |
| `<Ctrl>v` and `<Ctrl>y` | Pastes the X buffer in tmux, and sends the tmux buffer to X respectively |
| (**copy mode**) `v`, `y` and `<Escape>` | Begin selection, copy selection and cancel **copy mode** respectively |
| `Alt-[0-9]` (no prefix) | Switch directly to the given window |
| `W` | Write scrollback buffer to file |
## Italics Support ##
Tmux supports italics if your terminal does, but the terminfo files _screen_ and _screen-256color_ don't advertise this, and most programs will display reversed text when it should be italics. To fix this, run: `tmux-italics-terminfo`, then follow the instructions it displays by changing `set-option -g default-terminal "screen-256color"` to `set-option -g default-terminal "screen-256color-it"` in your _tmux.conf_. You'll want to make sure your _/etc/bash.bashrc_, _/etc/dircolors_, possibly **vim** and any other terminal applications that check the `$TERM` variable have _screen-it_ and _screen-256color-it_ added.
