Displays ssh username and hostname in tmux status-right and renames window to hostname.
Add #{ssh_status} format strings to existing status-right (or status-left) tmux option. Example:
# in .tmux.conf
set -g status-right '#{ssh_status} | %a %h-%d %H:%M '
By default, this plugin will also rename the window to the hostname of the ssh session. To disable this, add the following:
# in .tmux.conf
set -g @ssh_auto_rename_window off
Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager (recommended)
Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:
set -g @plugin 'obxhdx/tmux-ssh-status'
Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it.
If format strings are added to status-right (or status-left), they should now be visible.
Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/obxhdx/tmux-ssh-status ~/clone/path
Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf:
run-shell ~/clone/path/ssh_status.tmux
Reload TMUX environment:
# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
If format strings are added to status-right (or status-left), they should now be visible.
The time taken to update the status bar will take into account the status-interval tmux option. Therefore, you can expect some delay once you move in/out a window where a given ssh connection is active.
