# Tmux Installer

> This skill should be used when users need to install, configure, and customize tmux with Oh My Tmux (gpakosz/.tmux) on Linux systems. It covers tmux installation, Oh My Tmux setup, Tokyo Night color theme, Powerline separators, custom keybindings (split panes, window navigation, synchronize-panes), mouse mode, and clipboard integration. The skill replicates the standard team tmux configuration.

# Tmux + Oh My Tmux Installer

## Overview

在 Linux 系统上安装和配置 Tmux + Oh My Tmux (gpakosz/.tmux)，统一团队终端复用器环境。包括 Tokyo Night 主题配色、Powerline 分隔符、自定义快捷键和鼠标支持。

## When to Use This Skill

- 在新 VM 或服务器上安装和配置 tmux
- 用户要求安装 tmux 或 oh-my-tmux
- 需要统一的 tmux 配置
- 诊断 tmux 配置相关问题

## Prerequisites

- Ubuntu/Debian 系统 (apt-get)
- sudo 权限
- git (用于 clone oh-my-tmux)
- 网络连接

## Important: 先安装 Zsh

在安装 tmux 之前，应先安装 Zsh + Oh My Zsh。请先使用 `zsh-installer` 技能完成 shell 配置。

## Quick Start

```bash
# 1. 安装 tmux
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y tmux

# 2. 安装 Oh My Tmux
cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git
ln -s -f .tmux/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf

# 3. 写入自定义配置 (见 Step 3)
```

## Installation Workflow

### Step 1: 安装 Tmux

```bash
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y tmux
```

验证安装:

```bash
tmux -V
# 预期: tmux 3.4 或更高
```

### Step 2: 安装 Oh My Tmux

```bash
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git
ln -s -f .tmux/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
cp .tmux/.tmux.conf.local ~/.tmux.conf.local
```

**说明:**
- `.tmux/.tmux.conf` 是 Oh My Tmux 的主配置（不要修改）
- `.tmux.conf.local` 是用户自定义配置（所有个性化设置在这里）

### Step 3: 写入自定义配置

将以下内容写入 `~/.tmux.conf.local`:

```bash
cat > ~/.tmux.conf.local << 'TMUX_EOF'

# 检查配置文件
ls -la ~/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf.local
```

## Configuration Details

### 主题: Tokyo Night

配色基于流行的 Tokyo Night 编辑器主题:

| 颜色变量 | 色值 | 用途 |
|----------|------|------|
| colour_4 | #00afff | 高亮蓝 (活动边框、当前窗口) |
| colour_5 | #e0af68 | Tokyo Night 金色 (消息、模式) |
| colour_7 | #a9b1d6 | 柔白 (文字) |
| colour_9 | #e0af68 | 金色 (状态栏左段1) |
| colour_10 | #7aa2f7 | Tokyo Night 蓝 (状态栏左段2) |
| colour_11 | #9ece6a | Tokyo Night 绿 (状态栏左段3) |

### Powerline 分隔符

使用 Powerline 特殊字符作为状态栏分隔符:
- `\uE0B0` () 和 `\uE0B1` () 用于左侧
- `\uE0B2` () 和 `\uE0B3` () 用于右侧

**需要 Powerline 字体支持** (通常 Nerd Font 已包含)。

### 自定义快捷键

| 快捷键 | 功能 | 说明 |
|--------|------|------|
| `Prefix + \|` | 水平分屏 | 比默认的 `%` 更直观 |
| `Prefix + -` | 垂直分屏 | 比默认的 `"` 更直观 |
| `Prefix + i` | 切换同步模式 | 同时向所有 pane 发送输入 |
| `Prefix + h` | 上一个窗口 | 可重复 (-r) |
| `Prefix + l` | 下一个窗口 | 可重复 (-r) |
| `Prefix + m` | 切换鼠标支持 | 显示开关状态 |
| `CapsLock (F13)` | 额外 Prefix 触发 | SSH 场景下通过 F13 映射 |

### 重要设置

| 设置 | 值 | 说明 |
|------|-----|------|
| history-limit | 50000 | 滚动缓冲区大小 |
| mouse | on | 默认启用鼠标 |
| new_window_retain_current_path | true | 新窗口保留当前路径 |
| new_pane_retain_current_path | true | 新面板保留当前路径 |
| copy_to_os_clipboard | true | 复制到系统剪贴板 |

## Common Scenarios

### Scenario 1: 在新 VM 上完整安装

```bash
# 先安装 zsh (使用 zsh-installer 技能)
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y zsh
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)" "" --unattended
sudo chsh -s $(which zsh) $(whoami)

# 再安装 tmux + oh-my-tmux
sudo apt-get install -y tmux
cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git
ln -s -f .tmux/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
# 然后写入 .tmux.conf.local (见 Step 3)
```

### Scenario 2: 多节点批量部署

配合 `parallel-ssh` 技能，在多台机器上同时部署:

```bash
# 使用 parallel-ssh 在所有节点执行安装脚本
# 参考 parallel-ssh 技能的用法
```

### Scenario 3: 已有 tmux 但没有 Oh My Tmux

```bash
# 备份旧配置
cp ~/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf.bak 2>/dev/null

# 安装 Oh My Tmux
cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git
ln -s -f .tmux/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
# 写入 .tmux.conf.local (见 Step 3)

# 重新加载
tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
```

## Troubleshooting

### 问题: Powerline 字符显示为方块

**原因:** 终端缺少 Powerline/Nerd Font

**解决方案:**
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y fonts-powerline
```

或在本地终端 (iTerm2/Windows Terminal) 中设置 Nerd Font 字体。

### 问题: tmux source-file 报错

**诊断:**
```bash
tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf 2>&1
```

**常见原因:**
- `.tmux.conf.local` 语法错误
- tmux 版本过低不支持某些特性

**解决方案:**
```bash
# 检查 tmux 版本
tmux -V

# 如果低于 3.2，移除 %if 条件块
```

### 问题: 鼠标模式不工作

**诊断:**
```bash
tmux show -g mouse
# 预期: mouse on
```

**解决方案:**
```bash
# 在 tmux 内重新加载配置
# 按 Prefix + r (Oh My Tmux 默认重载快捷键)
```

### 问题: 剪贴板不工作

**原因:** Linux 需要 xsel 或 xclip

**解决方案:**
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y xsel
# 或
sudo apt-get install -y xclip
```

### 问题: CapsLock/F13 prefix 不生效

**说明:** 这个功能需要本地终端将 CapsLock 映射为 F13 并通过 SSH 发送 `\e[25~`。

**配置方法 (macOS + Karabiner):**
1. 安装 Karabiner-Elements
2. 将 CapsLock 映射为 F13
3. iTerm2 会自动发送 F13 转义序列

## Verification Checklist

```bash
echo "=== Tmux + Oh My Tmux 验证 ==="
echo "1. Tmux version: $(tmux -V)"
echo "2. Oh My Tmux: $(test -L ~/.tmux.conf && echo 'installed (symlink)' || echo 'NOT installed')"
echo "3. Config local: $(test -f ~/.tmux.conf.local && echo 'exists' || echo 'NOT found')"
echo "4. Mouse mode: $(tmux start-server \; show -g mouse 2>/dev/null || echo 'tmux not running')"
echo "5. History limit: $(tmux start-server \; show -g history-limit 2>/dev/null || echo 'tmux not running')"
```
