The best and greatest tmux.conf ever

Adding tmux

Create a tmux conf file
#> touch ~/.tmux.conf

Install TMP
#> git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm

[Copy and paste tmux.conf below into local file.]

Load tmux configurations
#> tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

Note, some actions, like opening folders
or starting apps from with tmux, do not work properly.
To fix this, on OSX:
#> brew install reattach-to-user-namespace
#> vi ~/.bash_aliases

and add these lines
alias sublime='reattach-to-user-namespace sublime'
alias open='reattach-to-user-namespace open'

Then load the changes
#> source ~/.bash_aliases

tmux.conf
