Add Borders And Titles To tmux Panes
This isn't working as expected for updates with directories.
set -g pane-border-format " #{pane_current_path} "
but it's not working for me right now. It sticks on one path and doesn't change. The same thing happens if I try to run the [TODO: Code shorthand span ] command via
set -g pane-border-format " #(pwd) "
Borders
Add this to your config to turn on borders :
~/.tmux.conf
set -g pane-border-status top
set -g pane-border-lines double
set -g pane-border-style fg=#447755
set -g pane-active-border-style fg=#447755
Automatic Titles
Titles can be added via the config with :
~/.tmux.conf
set -g pane-border-format " #{pane_current_path} "
Manual Titles
It's also possible to set a title manually for each pane. Run this inside the pane you want to update.
The sets the title to the current directory path of the pane. There's a bunch of other options in the [TODO: Code shorthand span ] page.
The available options for [TODO: Code shorthand span ] are
-
single single lines using ACS or UTF - 8 characters
-
double double lines using UTF - 8 characters
-
heavy heavy lines using UTF - 8 characters
-
simple simple ASCII characters
-
number the pane number
I've seen some notes saying that apps might overwrite the title you set. I haven't hit that yet, but it sounds like there are ways to prevent that listed in the manual page.
