I have created 4 panes in one window - as I flip between my 13" laptop to 27" monitor, the tmux panes's relative positions do not adjust themselves. How to resize them all at once?
For your tmux.conf, perhaps you're looking for something along the lines of:
set-hook -g client-resized resize-pane
Notes:
set-hook "hooks" events to commands.
client-resized occurs whenever the client is resized.
resize-pane or resizep (same) resizes panes on the current window, assuming pane layout is proportional.
I am using tmux inside of a gnome-terminal.
When I first open a window (with the default size being 80x24) the tmux bar sits snugly at the bottom of the window. When I maximise the terminal window, however, an annoyingly large gap appears underneath the tmux bar.

This is my .tmux.conf:
set-option -g default-command bash
# remap prefix to Control + a
unbind-key C-b
set-option -g prefix C-a
bind-key C-a send-prefix
bind-key C-a-h split-window -h #Split panes vertically
# time/no(0) time between C-a and command
set -s escape-time 0
#set-option -u repeat-time #global setting, "delete" repeat-time
set-option -g -q mouse on #activate mouse
How do I get the tmux bar to sit as it does in the small this when I maximise the terminal window?

You will have to adjust your font size. The gap is introduced since the height of terminal window is not exactly N-lines high. If you really hate that gap, you may either enlarge or shrink your font size until you find one that fits your screen.
I want to change the postion of a pane such as that I want to change pane 4 to pane 3 after pane 3 exits.
To change pane 4 to pane 3 after pane 3 exits:
C-b { move the current pane to the previous position
Here are more shortcuts for moving panes around:
C-b } move the current pane to the next position
C-b C-o rotate window ‘up’ (i.e. move all panes)
C-b M-o rotate window ‘down’
C-b ! move the current pane into a new separate
window (‘break pane’)
C-b :move-pane -t :3.2
split window 3's pane 2 and move the current pane there
Source: tmux cheatsheet
The latest version of tmux (1.7) supports renumbering of windows.
If you just want to change the number of window 4 to 3, do this in window 4:
move-window -t 3
How can I specify a pane percentage in tmuxinator ?
Eg:
project_name: ad_dev
project_root: ~/Programming/WWW/Rails/projects/ApparelDreamDev
rvm: ruby-1.9.2-p290#apparel_dev
pre: SQL
tabs:
- editor:
layout: main-vertical
panes:
- vim 75%
- #empty, will just run plain bash
- top
eg: the vim pane would take 75% of the screen... is there a way to specify this ? or where in the documentation should I look ? Can't seem to find it anywhere.
The layout should be specified in the layout: line. But you are not limited to the five preset layouts (such as main-vertical). From the man page:
In addition, select-layout may be used to apply a previously used layout -
the list-windows command displays the layout of each window in a form
suitable for use with select-layout. For example:
$ tmux list-windows
0: ksh [159x48]
layout: bb62,159x48,0,0{79x48,0,0,79x48,80,0}
$ tmux select-layout bb62,159x48,0,0{79x48,0,0,79x48,80,0}
tmux automatically adjusts the size of the layout for the current window
size. Note that a layout cannot be applied to a window with more panes
than that from which the layout was originally defined.
First set up your layout just how you like it - you can adjust widths with resize-pane until it is just right for you. Then run tmux list-windows. And then you should be able to use the layout: line from the output unaltered in tmuxinator.conf
So based on the output from your gist:
0: tmux [208x73] [layout b147,208x73,0,0[208x62,0,0,208x10,0,63{104x10,0,63,103x10,105,63}]] (active)
The relevant section of the tmuxinator conf file should be:
- editor:
layout: b147,208x73,0,0[208x62,0,0,208x10,0,63{104x10,0,63,103x10,105,63}]
panes:
- vim
- #empty, will just run plain bash
- top
I'm looking (unsuccessfully) for a Qt widget that would work similarly to the panes in Eclipse IDE. This inludes the ability to rearrange panes within the workspace. Very powerful! For instance, you can
combine panes into tabs and separate them again
place panes on the top, bottom, left, right or center.
place panes under, over, within the left, and within the right of current panes
pull panes into their on top-level window or re-integrate them into the main window
double click a pane to take over the entire workspace or snap it back to its original position
minimize a pane to a side bar
etc!
Any idea if such a widget exists so I can create a workspace?
Perhaps something like QDockWidget would help.
