Thanks Stroller, |
| 36 |
|

On the left status bar I see this: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
[0] 0:bash* |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
with one window open. As I create more windows it adds to it like so: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
[0] 0:bash 1:bash- 2:bash* |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
The right hand side shows the prompt, or command being run, but not all of it |
| 47 |
if it is too long. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
This is the output you requested: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
$ tmux show -g status-right |
| 52 |
status-right ""#22T" %H:%M %d-%b-%y" |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
and this are the equivalent settings to yours: |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
$ tmux show -g | grep -E 'status-[lr]' |
| 57 |
status-left "[#S]" |
| 58 |
status-left-attr none |
| 59 |
status-left-bg default |
| 60 |
status-left-fg default |
| 61 |
status-left-length 10 |
| 62 |
status-right ""#22T" %H:%M %d-%b-%y" |
| 63 |
status-right-attr none |
| 64 |
status-right-bg default |
| 65 |
status-right-fg default |
| 66 |
status-right-length 40 |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
I don't have a ~/.tmux.conf yet. |
