Still a newbie to nix, and I am in the process of getting my previous MacOS and Linux environments ported over to Nix using flakes. My Linux setup was much smoother than the MacOS one, but this issue seems to be persisting no matter the OS… Is there a way to configure tmux globally for a system without using the home-manager module?
I’m on a single-user system (both platforms) and trying to configure tmux globally; however, the options I am setting seem to not be taking effect on a rebuild. I’m specifically using my darwin system right now since I am also doing some other overhauls of my basic flake config.
Here is my tmux config snippet:
programs.tmux = {
enable = true;
mouse = true;
baseIndex = 1;
shortcut = "Space";
plugins = with pkgs; [
tmuxPlugins.sensible
tmuxPlugins.yank
tmuxPlugins.vim-tmux-navigator
tmuxPlugins.cpu
{
plugin = tmuxPlugins.catppuccin;
extraConfig = ''
set -g @catppuccin_flavor 'mocha'
set -g @catppuccin_window_status_style 'rounded'
set -g status-right-length 100
set -g status-left-length 100
set -g status-left ""
set -g status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_application}"
set -ag status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_session}"
set -ag status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_uptime}"
'';
}
];
extraConfigBeforePlugins = ''
# Enable color
set-option -sa terminal-overrides ",xterm*:Tc"
'';
};
If I include this in flake.nix under configuration, I get errors like this on a rebuild:
error: The option `programs.tmux.baseIndex' does not exist. Definition values:
- In `<unknown-file>': 1
These options do seem to exist as far as I can tell, and I cross-checked with MyNixOS and I see them listed there as well.
Any help is appreciated. Most of the examples I can find are using home-manager, and I am trying to steer clear of it until I can really get my hands around using Nix as a whole, then migrate to a home-manager setup later.
