Why can not I apply this theme about .tmux HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello,

Make sure you stop all tmux client and server processes.

Backup your existing .tmux.conf file and try again following the installation steps as per documented in README.md:

$ cd
$ rm -rf .tmux
$ git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git
$ ln -s .tmux/.tmux.conf
$ cp .tmux/.tmux.conf.local .

About your "may i ask why your file with "#", does it makes any sence?" question, I'm not sure I understand what you're referring to.

In both Bash and tmux, # starts a comment and comment lines are ignored. Now there's a trick:

• the first line of .tmux.conf starts with # cat << ►_◄ > /dev/null and later in the file there's a line starting with # ►_◄. Those lines are both ignored by tmux, because they start with a #
• below the line starting with # ►_◄, all lines start with # and they will be ignored by tmux as well
• pay attention that those comment lines are in fact a whole shell script put behind comments, and it's important to notice all the lines start with # followed by a space.
• now if you run the cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf command, you notice that it takes ~/.tmux.conf and removes the first 2 columns of the file
• removing the first 2 columns of the file transforms the valid tmux configuration file into a valid shell script
• when you pipe the result of cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf to sh, your shell evaluates the cat << ►_◄ > /dev/null statement
  • remember, cut -c3- removed the first 2 columns, hence it removed the # characters
  • cat << ►_◄ > /dev/null is a classic HEREDOC, I just used fancy Unicode characters
  • after having run cut -c3-, everything between the first cat << ►_◄ > /dev/null and the ►_◄ line becomes an invalid truncated soup of tmux commands
  • but when your shell evaluates the cat << ►_◄ > /dev/null statement, all those truncated and invalid tmux commands are just sent to /dev/null and everything after the ►_◄ end of HEREDOC marker is a valid shell script

Hope that sheds some light to how it works.

Thank you for answering my question, my English is very poor, thank you for your patience;
now, I try this:

1. I change into TMUX mode, and type Ctrl + b + m, and it displays "mouse mode : on", it seems it does work
2. but i run "cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -s apply_configuration" it displays "unkwon opration pane-borde-style"
   can you help me to fix this? thank you very much, i'm not get used to markdown.......

Which version of tmux are you using?

My configuration only works with tmux 1.9, 2.0 or 2.1+ . If you use tmux 1.9 or 2.0, use the corresponding branch of the configuration.
