Gaelan D'costa 7c33f7d24d Don't attempt to enter screen/tmux environment when in Emacs
If launching Emacs from outside an interactive shell (say from Upstart,
Gnome3, an OS X .app bundle), $TMUX and $STY won't be set. We shouldn't
launch ssh/tmux when running emacs, because emacs can't handle the
termcaps of such multiplexers.

Emacs sets $INSIDE_EMACS and (on older versions) $EMACS, so if those are
set we won't attempt to autostart a tmux/screen session.

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 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 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).

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.
