Tmux and Catalyst

Install Tmux

sudo apt-get install tmux or sudo yjm install tmux

Tmux has some weird bugs on centos. Need to install some libraries from source.

https://gist.github.com/ekiara/11023782

Here is a tmux cheat sheet: http://www.dayid.org/os/notes/tm.html

Create a ~/.tmux.conf file

These options move the bind key from Ctrl-b to Ctrl-a

#Tmux config

set-option -g prefix C-a
unbind-key C-b
bind-key C-a send-prefix
set-window-option -g mode-keys vi
set -g terminal-overrides 'xterm*:smcup@:rmcup@'
set -g mode-mouse on
set -g mouse-select-pane on
set -g mouse-resize-pane on

#Copy and paste tmux
#http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11042920/how-to-copy-and-paste-between-different-tmux-panes-running-vim-instances
#So you can use prefix-<C-y> to activate copy mode, /search term as an example to go where you want,
#v to visually select, y to yank into tmux. 
#Then go to other vim session and get into insert mode.
#Use prefix-p to paste what's in the tmux paste buffer. There are also ways to copy tmux's paste buffer to your system clipboard.
setw -g mode-keys vi
unbind [
unbind p
bind C-y copy-mode
bind p paste-buffer
bind -t vi-copy v begin-selection
bind -t vi-copy y copy-selection
bind -t vi-copy Escape cancel

# highlight active window
set-window-option -g window-status-current-bg colour166
set-window-option -g window-status-current-fg colour15
set-window-option -g window-status-current-attr bold
set-window-option -g window-status-current-format ' #I #W '

# tmux window titling for X
set-option -g set-titles on
#set-option -g set-titles-string '[#I] #W'
set-window-option -g automatic-rename on
#set-window-option -g window-status-format ' #I #W '
set-window-option -g window-status-attr bold
# starts windows at 1 not 0
set-option -g base-index 1

#set -g set-titles off

Manage windows and sessions with Tmuxifier

Tmuxifier is a shell script. No yaml, so it may not have the same level of nesting windows, but it doesn't require ruby.

git clone https://github.com/jimeh/tmuxifier.git ~/.tmuxifier echo "export PATH="$HOME/.tmuxifier/bin:$PATH" " >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc

Example script

FYI, I name my root directories MyApp/root/myapp/{static,src} - if yours aren't like this you will need to change the script.

#!/bin/bash

#------------------------------------------
# ~/.tmuxifier/layouts/myapp.session.sh
# Run with tmuxifier load-session myapp
#------------------------------------------

PROJECTDIR="/var/www"
PROJECT="MyApp"
SCRIPT=$(echo $PROJECT | sed 's/.*/\L&/')
PORT=3000

#session_root "$PROJECTDIR"
session_root $HOME

if initialize_session "$SCRIPT" ; then

    window_root "$PROJECTDIR"

    new_window "top"
    run_cmd "cd $PROJECTDIR/$PROJECT && git status"

    new_window "lib"
    run_cmd "cd $PROJECTDIR/$PROJECT/lib"

    new_window "moose"
    run_cmd "cd $PROJECTDIR/$PROJECT/lib/$PROJECT"

    new_window "con"
    run_cmd "cd $PROJECTDIR/$PROJECT/lib/$PROJECT/Controller"
    split_h 60
    run_cmd "$PROJECTDIR/$PROJECT/script/$SCRIPT""_server.pl -r -p $PORT" 
    select_pane 0

    new_window "views"
    run_cmd "cd $PROJECTDIR/$PROJECT/root/$SCRIPT/src"
    
    new_window "static"
    run_cmd "cd $PROJECTDIR/$PROJECT/root/$SCRIPT/static"

    #Select the default active window on session creation.
    select_window 1

fi

# Finalize session creation and switch/attach to it.
finalize_and_go_to_session
