tmuxline

[d-lord]

I want access to the Powerline characters in my tmux status bar. That's basically everything it can do that I want and can't get in vanilla tmux, unless I need to read the docs more closely. Don't want to install stuff unnecessarily, especially Powerline-based things which could get expensive.

Perhaps install it, generate a config, and inspect it closely to see how it's using Powerline chars...

Done. I'd actually got halfway there already - just copying the chars from the terminal and pasting them in Vim - but tmuxline showed me how to do the (slightly tricky) colour manipulation to get the desired arrows. Cool!

Leaving this open in case I come back looking for shiny tmux stuff.
