.tmux VS nerd-fonts

No I didn't condigure any of it and I"m using oh my tmux conf.

Oh my tmux! requires tmux 2.4+ and I would like to figure out what's oldest version of tmux people are actively using.

Here's a good source for more in-depth tuning .tmux.conf

Looks like no one has mentioned https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux

You still need to learn the basics but this lowers the learning curve a lot.

Totally! Lately (this last year or so) i am also using this on top of tmux https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux I don't knmow if you know it, its very close to the old configuration I worte myself, but with more colors :P

To get started with a decent tmux setup, start here: https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux

- [-] The journey has began at some time 2020 - [x] Getting boring with `atom`, `vscode`, `sublime`. Why? 1. Too slow on managing projects, each project takes **2GB** storage 2. `atom` and `vscode` are electron-based app, so it's heavy 3. Sublime is quite good, but heavily on indexing project's files - [x] Try `vim`, doing `vimtutorial`, getting struggled and ... struggled with the new ugly motions `hjkl` - [x] Few weeks passed, still getting struggled with vim - [x] Retried with `doom emacs`, but with vim bindings. Doom also supports many cool plugins - [x] Wao, `doom` is cool, project management is super cool, searching is blazing fast too - [x] Keep trying `doom`, for few weeks - [-] Then, getting boring with `doom`, it's basically emacs with vi-binding layer - [x] Retry `vim` with `bootstrap` [config](https://vim-bootstrap.com/) - [x] After ~2 months, the vim feeling is much better - [x] Add some plugins: `fzf`, session management, `grep/ack` search - [x] Add lsp [coc](https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim) - [x] Add/play with more plugins, yay yay yay !!! - [x] `tpope` plugins are such amazing - [x] Try `tmux`, hmm, quite good - [x] Use this awesome `tmux` [config](https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux) - [-] 2020-07-23 Start doing a personal dotfiles - [x] Keep using `vim` + `tmux` - [x] Move to `neovim` 0.4.0, then `0.5.0+` - [x] Start note-taking with `vimwiki`, then with other plugins - [-] Try `roam`, `obsidian` - [-] Stop using `vimwiki`, not sure what happened ??? Maybe boring mainly - [o] 2022-{01..06} Try other wiki tools, `taskwarrior`, `todoist`, and `orgmode` - [o] Still getting struggled on how to note-taking

And if you use tmux, https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux configures SSH integration for you.

I use this popular config. Running Ubuntu Server. I am using Git Credential Manager with pinentry-curses.

Use any nerd fonts

SourceCodePro: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts/SourceCodePro

Hot off the press: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/tag/v3.1.0

It's a bit expensive, and I can understand if someone can't or doesn't want to spend money on it. I would recommend to check out the free fonts 'JetBains Mono' & 'Hack' to these people.

Some people have already mentioned here that Berkeley Mono is not available as Nerd Font. I would like to briefly point out that Nerd Fonts provides a font patcher tool (https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#font-patcher).

I'm using Neovim v0.9.1 on Ubuntu 23.04 with NvChad. I've also installed the JetBrainsMono font, as NvChad requires a Nerd Font, but nothing besides that and I haven't edited any settings or nvim files and I haven't installed any additional plugins.

There are a lot of code fonts on HN today. Rather than make a new post I will talk about some of my favorite that are a little less common. None of these are free I don't think.

Cartograph CF - The one I've been using for code for years. Very readable, almost "comic mono"-like choices of some of the lower case glyphs but in a good way. All the character is in the italic which you will either love or hate.

Quadraat sans mono - The entire quadraat family is a collection of masterpieces imo, but are generally too distinctive to be appropriate for most public-facing work. But it's your computer so who cares. I use the mono sans one for my terminal. The lowercase f seems so out of place there but you learn to love it.

Alegreya sans - Not a mono font, but it almost is so if you've ever flirted with proportional fonts for code this is a fun one to try. There is a lot of careful line width variation that gives a lot of the appearance and readability advantages of serifs but keeps most of the visual coherence of sans.

I like all of these because they look feel more like normal fonts rather than code fonts. They have careful variation that adds character and improves readability for me. I've switched to an almost-no-color code theme that uses font weight instead, and the details like this become more important that way.

And then only kind of related but if you want to use unusual fonts in your terminal but you have a complex prompt setup, install font forge and learn to use something like https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/font-pat... to patch in the extra characters. This can also solve your "I love this font but want a dotted zero" type problems as well. Small skill investment for a small return over a long period of time. You'll always be using fonts.

It is FiraCode Nerd Font Mono:size=16. You can find it here. On arch linux you can just install the nerd-fonts and it's included there.

I'm assuming you're using a Nerd Font already, since I see the Rust logo and folder icons in your terminal. However, it's possible that your particular font is based on Nerd Font 2.x and the newest version is 3.x. Maybe try scanning your Lua config with nerdfix to identify whether the diagnostics icons you have set (among others) are using outdated 2.x character codes. If they are, try replacing them in your config, and also try upgrading your terminal's Nerd Font compliant font to the latest version (NF's GitHub release page says 3.0.1 is the newest version). Hope this helps your troubleshooting efforts!
