Tmux

Defines tmux 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, add the following line to zpreztorc:

zstyle ':prezto:module:tmux' auto-start 'yes'

It will create a background session named #Prezto and attach every new shell to it.

To avoid keeping open sessions, this module sets destroy-unattached off on the background session and destroy-unattached on on every other session (global setting).

SSH and auto-start

To avoid having tmux sessions inside tmux sessions, auto-start is disabled for SSH access.

It is possible to re-enable auto-start for SSH sessions with

zstyle ':prezto:module:tmux' remote 'yes'

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, available in Homebrew, 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.
