If you _always_ want to have tmux running, you can use chsh -s /usr/bin/tmux to change your shell to it. I just have st -e /bin/sh -c "tmux attach" in my "gimme a shell" binding. My ~/.tmux.conf contains new-session -s g which causes tmux to create a new session named 'g' if I try to attach and it's not already running. -- Gregor

Re: [hackers] [st] startup options
I use st with the scrollback patch with mouse support. I hope that it can be without shift but I doesn't know how to do it. -- _ < Do what you like, like what you do. > - \ ^__^ \ (oo)\___ (__)\ )\/\ ||w | || ||

Re: [hackers] [st] startup options
Me, I use dvtm(1) instead of tmux, and I only have my dwm config set to run st with a dvtm session inside. This way, I can manually start st without dvtm by asking for `st` from dmenu or another terminal. I suppose it's a matter of personal taste, but when I run 'st' I don't want dvtm or tmux. If I want them I'll ask for them by specifying such (but I know this goes against the OP's question), or by pressing the appropriate dwm hotkey This feature may rub some people up the wrong way, but it's just more food for thought.

I use tmux or screen regardless of the terminal emulator I use, so I launch tmux as part of bashrc. The simplest way to do this would be to have something like this in your shell initialization script: if [ -z "$TMUX" ]; then tmux && exit fi I recommend doing the "&& exit" so if tmux isn't installed or is otherwise broken, you'll still land in a functioning shell.

[hackers] [st] startup options
Hello, I am fairly new to suckless community. I was using dwm for an year. But now I started using st and surf. So I hope my newbie question will be well answered. According to the FAQ page[1], I should use screen or tmux to enable scrolling. Now I had compiled and installed st on my dwm window manager. Scrolling is important for me and especially the ability to scroll while its printing console at the same time. There is patch to enable scrolling in st [2]. Is it important to apply this patch if I use tmux.? The issue I had using st+tmux or screen is that, I need to run the command every time. `st -e tmux` using C-b [ Is there anyway I can run st with tmux or screen by default without the scroll patch in[2] ? I don't like the scrolling experience I had with the scrollback patch. http://st.suckless.org/patches/scrollback [1] http://git.suckless.org/st/tree/FAQ [2] http://st.suckless.org/patches/scrollback -- Regards, Rashad
