Tmux Config Generator

This tool helps you build a tmux configuration file based on your preferences. You can adjust settings for key bindings, appearance, status bar, and add useful plugins.

Set keybindings

Customize appearance

Configure plugins

tmux-config.txt

$ cat .tmux.conf
# Generated with TmuxAI
set -g prefix C-a
set -g mouse on
set -g status-style bg=black,fg=green
bind r source-file ~/.tmux.conf
...

Prefix Key

Controls the tmux leader key for all shortcuts.

Enable Mouse Mode

Allows mouse interactions like clicking on panes, scrolling, and resizing.

History Limit

1K5,00050K

Number of lines to keep in scrollback history per pane.

Escape Time (ms)

Time tmux waits after an escape is pressed. Lower values reduce lag in vim/neovim but can cause issues with some key combinations.

Base Index

Window and pane numbering starts at this index. Many prefer 1 for easier keyboard access.

TPM Installation

1. Clone TPM repository:

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

2. Add the TPM initialization to your .tmux.conf (already included in generated config)

3. Install plugins by pressing prefix + I inside tmux
