Do you know if Gitlab allows attachments in bugs and comments? It's one of the major deficiencies in Github.

GitLab developer here; it does! Where GitHub only allows images to be dragged into issue and comment description fields, GitLab allows this for any type of file.

Thanks! That's great. I'll use Gitlab going forward :)

Does tmux still have no flow control? Just compare how tmux locks up when you `tar xfv linux-4.0.tar.xz` and screen doesn't. None of the knobs to control output throttling helped. How do you get around this problem?

Emacs is great and I know lots of people who love evil mode. I prefer vim because it comes pre-installed - good for ops. Many of my tools have embedded Lua, so it's great that I can exercise my Lua skills with Neovim. None of my other tools embeds elisp, so for me, elisp is a dead-end.

Neovim won't be preinstalled for a long time. Possibly it never will be. Also, writing Elisp is not far from writing Guile Scheme, and there are many tools that embed Guile.

True that Neovim won't be preinstalled, but for ops all I need is basic editing and the ability to leverage my vim muscle-memory.

I wish it was possible to have screen-like bindings that don't require explicitly defining them all so that you don't have to unpress Ctrl each time. In screen you can press C-a c quickly but for that to work in tmux you have to add this:

bind-key C-c new-window

For those who are just getting started with tmux: I advise looking around others' .tmux.conf files for some sensible settings. Like Vim, Tmux ships with a lot of powerful features disabled by default. My absolute favorite has to be binding a hotkey to opening URLs in the current window [0]. See [1] for a small demo I just recorded. To get started, here's my current config: [1] [0]: https://github.com/jbnicolai/tmux/b…

> My absolute favorite has to be binding a hotkey to opening URLs in the current window. I suppose this stops working if you SSH into some box and run tmux there? I've implemented something similar, but as an urxvt plugin instead, which avoids that limitation: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/tmtynkky/urxvt.png (Once Alt-O is pressed, the hotkeys with the red background appear next to each link; pressing the hotkey opens…

You're absolutely correct, although I do all my terminal work locally in tmux as well (and often nest any remote work in a secondary remote session).

Liking the plugin you wrote!

Here's mine: https://github.com/olalonde/dotfiles/blob/master/tmux.conf One tweak I can't live without is having the same key bindings to seamlessly switch between tmux panes and Vim split windows. ( https://gist.github.com/mislav/5189704 ) TPM is also really useful for managing tmux plugins https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm . My prefix key is Ctrl-Space. It's very convenient to press on the keyboard, I'm surprised…

I use myself, but works just as well I suppose. Not bound to any OS utilities on OS X afaict.

Thank you so much for pointing me towards that vim+tmux gist!

Why do you create a new window to maximize a pane [1] instead of using resize-pane -Z (mapped to bind-key z by default)? [1]: https://github.com/jbnicolai/tmux/blob/master/.tmux.conf#L96

Because didn't exist in the latest version of tmux at the time. I've removed it now though, thanks!

It makes me sad to see a respectable piece of open source software hosted on this site with its intrusive advertising practices such as ads with fake "install" buttons on the download page. What is the advantage of using Sourceforge these days when github and bitbucket are free for open source?

I'm also struggling to see any advantages to still using Sourceforge in 2015.

Firstly, they're well-known by now to be complicit in sponsored 'wrapper' installers bundling some pretty awful stuff - check out what they did with FileZilla - which is an even more intrusive advertising practice than that.

Secondly, they host a lot of executable code (and don't forget build scripts in source code, unless you check your Makefiles!), but they still don't use TLS, and don't even seem to have any plans to - which is by now negligent practice, I think, considering the widespread public knowledge of Hacking Team's (and GCHQ's) at-scale deployments of network-level file infectors.

Is line 2 what you are looking for? https://github.com/kusold/dotfiles/blob/master/tmux.conf#L2

I just tried it out, and `C-a c` created a new windows for me.

I wrote a book titled "Getting started with tmux" which can be a helpful guide for those who may want to get started. http://gettingstartedwithtmux.com (Sorry if the self plug is not cool, I'm happy to delete this comment if it's not ok but I figure the community may get use out of my work)

As long as the comment is useful and contributes, I think it's fair game. This definitely qualifies. That said, if it's not free, I personally would prefer that be mentioned, (and at the same time a link to a free sample chapter or equivalent if it exists would be useful).
