I've been messing with this for a couple of days and have some of it figured out. You definitely do the basic set-up in .tmux.conf and mine looks like this:
Code:
# set global r-o-e
#set -g set-remain-on-exit on
setw -g aggressive-resize off
# Create a new session
new -n main
splitw -v -l 1 -t 0 conkytermstart
selectp -U
Which is pretty basic. It makes a horizontal split and puts conky in the bottom pane. That said, there are a few weirdies about this I don't get:
Why does the -v flag cause horizontal panes? If I use the -h flag, I get vertical panes.
After a certain point, reducing the size of one of the panes seems futile. Both -l and -p seem to take a minimum of about 25%. Since my conky bar is only 1 line, I do want to minimize it further, it just doesn't seem to work. However, I can reduce it further once tmux is running.
The key thing is to start tmux with the attach option (
$tmux attach). If you just start as tmux, it doesn't seem to pay any attention to .tmux.conf. I did see somewhere that when just using tmux to start, there is an implicit new_session that overrides the one in .tmux.conf.
