A Quick and Easy Guide to Tmux (2015)

Re:A Quick and Easy Guide to Tmux (2015) by zepearl on Tuesday October 29, 2019 @05:00PM (#21391964)

Usually the title of my terminal window displays some useful informations (e.g. the directory I'm currently in, or if I am installing some packages and their dependencies with "emerge somepackage" then I see what I'm currently emerging, etc...).

Does anybody know how to display the exact same informations in Tmux' bottom green bar? I just want it to display the same stuff that I would otherwise see in the window title of my terminal emulator.

I tried to search for it but I'm probably not using the correct terms so I didn't find anything that is relevant to this.

    case $TERM in
    xterm*)
        echo -e '\033]0;INSERT TITLE HERE\007';;
    screen*)
        echo -e '\033kINSERT TITLE HERE\033\\';;
    esac

Based on what I do, but not in front of a computer to test exactly what I typed above.

I moved my green bar to the top, but this might do what you need with some minor tweaking.
