Hi! I made simple TUI desktop for Linux named TBox
6 projects | reddit.com/r/linux | 4 Nov 2021

You named it "TUI Desctop", presumably meaning Desktop Environment, but there's none of it's features. Well, there are some, like File Manager and status bar, but no WM and a lot of other stuff. I was expecting to name your creation WM, Window Manager like dwtm, vtm and tmux with screen (to some extend) but again, no window managment... So, at least for now this seems to be just regular shell but made complicated.
Creating AppImage for any version of Tmux
3 projects | reddit.com/r/tmux | 3 Nov 2021

I wanted an easy way of installing tmux from my other project. So I created a docker image and script to quickly build tmux as an AppImage package. It can build tmux versions from the release page of tmux, also it can build tmux from the latest commit in the tmux repository.

tmux, neovim and strikethrough text. How?
2 projects | reddit.com/r/tmux | 22 Sep 2021

So, I just realized that strikethrough text inside my neovim is not working. After doing some digging I found that tmux is not rendering the strikethrough text. Without tmux strikethrough text is rendering just fine. I tried to follow this issue on github and added [set -as terminal-overrides ',xterm*:smxx=\E[9m'](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/612#issuecomment-288408841) to tmux conf but no luck. BTW I am using kitty. Please can anyone guide me on how to achieve strikethrough text with tmux and neovim?
