From e782c2565b2b920fb53200be0b519806885e273f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dissimulo Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 17:54:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tmux: mouse back on -- it was never the cause either Measuring display columns instead of string length shows the status bar uses 74 of 158 available columns with the circled-number formats in place. The "92 chars" that justified both the format change and turning the mouse off was counting #[fg=...] style directives, which take no screen width at all. So nothing here starves anything, and the bar still blanks in every mouse state. Keeping mouse off bought nothing and cost scrolling. The blanking is handled by tmux-statusline-keepalive.service instead: a full refresh-client every 2s across each socket, 0.1% of a core. That is a mitigation, not a fix -- the cause is still unknown. --- .tmux.conf | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/.tmux.conf b/.tmux.conf index dc27f6f..e8d3a39 100644 --- a/.tmux.conf +++ b/.tmux.conf @@ -69,7 +69,7 @@ bind E setw synchronize-panes off # set first window to index 1 (not 0) to map more to the keyboard layout... set-option -g base-index 1 set-window-option -g pane-base-index 1 -set-window-option -g mouse off +set-window-option -g mouse on # color scheme (styled as vim-powerline) set -g status-left-length 52
