This post is a follow-up to my introduction to tmux.

Since it is not feasible to go through all of my .tmux.conf settings, I’ll keep this post short and only talk about tmux’s clipboard features, how I customized them, and how they relate to my workflow. Hopefully you will be able to find some value in this and be able to integrate my configuration snippets in your workflow.

Tmux is a terminal multiplexer that has been around for a few years; doing a simple google search you will find some introductory articles.

There are quite a few plugins that create a seamless integration with vim: tslime, vimux and slimux. People also use tmux extensively for remote pair programming.

Tmux is a nicer and more modern alternative to screen. Beside being actively mantained tmux is also extremely configurable and scriptable.

A few people know I am a vim aficionado, and I figured I could share a little bit of my vim knowledge on this blog. While browsing the r/vim subreddit a while ago I found a little piece of vim configuration that lets you have a vertical bar for the cursor in terminal vim, using gnome-terminal as a terminal emulator.

So I finally managed to set up Octopress.

If you don’t know what Octopress is, suffice it to say that it is a blogging tool that makes it easy to create blog posts in Markdown and integrates seamlessly with Github Pages.
What I like about it is its nice look, the github integration, but most importantly the fact that it makes it easy to create blog posts simply by opening my editor of choice, vim.
