I’ve been trying tmux and followed a video that showcases and offers a prebuilt config for styling and plugins. Something happended (guess I did something wrong?) the styling broke and I decided I’ll go bare bones and customize to my needs when needed instead of using preconfigured stuff. I deleted all configs and caches I could find with fzf and even reinstalled tmux, but still some broken styling is present and makes it unpleasent to work with. Some of my configs seem to be present even after uninstall, as the prefix is still C-Space instead of the default. There are some oh-my-zsh subfolders that contain tmux. I don’t know if those have been there before and I also don’t know, if I can delete them without breaking the next thing.

I’m on a MacBook and installed tmux via brew.

    Huh, I had iterm running half a year ago and couldn’t see any advantage and removed it because of “simple systems” purist reasons. Guess I’ll try again.

      macOS doesn’t support some basic ways of rendering text and colors. I see iTerm as strictly necessary if you are serious about using the Terminal on a Mac.

        I mainly use it for git, basic files stuff and Scripting away chore tasks, so I never experienced any limits. But maybe I just touched some of that turf now.
