Introduction

Tmux is a terminal multiplexer; it allows multiple terminal sessions to be accessed from a single window.

In this article, we’ll walk through my Tmux setup that is designed for efficient integration with Neovim.

Follow these steps to set up Tmux:

Install Tmux:

If Tmux is not already installed on your system, you can install it using your package manager. For example, on Debian-based systems, run:
```
sudo apt-get install tmux
```
Verify the installation by checking the Tmux version:
```
tmux -V
```
Retrieve My Configuration File:

Download my Tmux configuration file into your home directory using the following command:
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/justicenyaga/my_nvim_config/master/.tmux.conf -O ~/.tmux.conf
```
Install Tmux Plugin Manager (tpm):

Clone the Tmux Plugin Manager repository to ~/.tmux/plugins/ using:
```
git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
```
Create a Tmux session:

Start a new Tmux session.
```
tmux new -s SessionName
```
This should create a session and attach you to the created session.
Reload the Tmux configuration file:

Press your Tmux prefix key (my configuration uses Ctrl + Space) followed by r to reload the configuration file:
```
<C-Space>r
```
On the configuration file, replace C-Space with a prefered key bind to override the default prefix key bind, on the following lines:
```
set -g prefix C-Space
bind-key C-Space send-prefix
```
Install Tmux plugins:

While inside a Tmux session, install plugins by pressing your Tmux prefix key followed by I (uppercase):
```
<C-Space>I
```
Again, replace <C-Space> with your configured prefix key bind.

That’s it! Your Tmux environment is now configured with the specified settings and plugins. Customize further based on your preferences.

Remember to customize these keybinds further based on your preferences and workflow!
