Display battery/power status in tmux status bar.

Supports:

• macOS

The easiest way to install tmux-power is via the Tmux Plugin Manager.

1. Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

   set -g @plugin 'jamesoff/tmux-power'

2. Use prefix–I to install tmux-power.

3. When you want to update tmux-power use prefix–U.

1. Clone the repository

   $ git clone https://github.com/jamesoff/tmux-power ~/clone/path

2. Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf

   run-shell ~/clone/path/tmux-power.tmux

3. Reload the tmux environment

   # type this inside tmux
   $ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

This plugin is hard-coded to check if the gpd0 interface is up.

Edit your status-left or status-right setting to include:

• #{power} - display the power status

Reload your configuration for it to take effect: prefix-R with TPM, or

$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

You will need a Nerd Font for the symbol to show correctly.

The battery icon will go red/yellow/green to show the battery level. It will go blue when charging, and change to a power plug when fully charged and plugged in.

The battery icon will not show up unless the session name is fullscreen or remote, as if it is not, it suggests you should be able to see the battery status in the status bar. (See my tmux configuration for info about how I use session names.)
