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.
Unironically try turning your computer off and on again.
Tmux settings are global and persistent. Just deleting your config files is insufficient. You have to kill the server and restart it. Uninstalling and reinstalling will not kill a running tmux server. tmux kill-server should work too.
Now if it persists across reboots, then there must be a file still lingering somewhere. If you are sure your home directory is clean you can try searching whatever you installed in /etc.
This is all assuming you’re trying to go back to a clean slate and failing. If the borked status bar is the result of your current .tmux.conf, then you’ll have to post that.
Just ditch your .tmux.conf and use oh my tmux. It should have everything you’re looking for.
Reinstall or install from a different source?
I can’t help as I don’t have exp with tmux or brew;
but I do know that if you crosspost your post/question into c/linux you’ll have a better time finding someone that knows how to help!🤗
Feels like a font issue. Do you have e.g. nerdfont installed and in use in your terminal? You could check the config for plugins that makes that style, and check which fonts are in use. Could also be powerline fonts that are needed: https://github.com/powerline/fonts
