In order to avoid eyestrain at work, I've chosen to use the ever popular
"solarized" scheme (http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized), which, to keep
things consistent starts off by modifying your terminal colors themselves
through .Xresources or gnome terminal settings.
My basic 16 colors thus remapped, I found that tmux was only displaying
half of them. The solution to this, oddly enough was found here (
http://rhnh.net/2011/08/20/vim-and-tmux-on-osx):
alias tmux="TERM=screen-256color-bce tmux"
This fixed the color issue allowing all 16 colors to be displayed (the
Solarized theme does have a 256-color fallback mode, but it is not ideal).
Now, everything is working fine, except for <END> and <HOME> in vim, and
ONLY in vim. At the terminal, it's fine. In Vim, <END> inserts 'F' and
<HOME> inserts '\H' above the current line. This is because, for whatever
reason, vim does not recognize the escape sequences that home and end send
( ^[OH and ^[OF, respectively), and passes them along as commands to the
editor which, in vim means:
<ESC> - exit mode
O - open a line above the cursor
H|F - Add an 'H' or 'F' there.
I have been able to fix this by adding the following to my .vimrc:
""""""""""""""
" tmux fixes "
""""""""""""""
" Handle tmux $TERM quirks in vim
if $TERM =~ '^screen-256color'
map <Esc>OH <Home>
map! <Esc>OH <Home>
map <Esc>OF <End>
map! <Esc>OF <End>
endif
But there has to be a better way. I have included my .tmux.conf herein in
hopes that it might further illuminate the problem:
