Issue description

First of all i want respect you for this config. <3 And question is: How to fix background highlight in normal vim mode? Outside of tmux i have no those highlights.

Required information

Please provide the following information:

tmux version: tmux 3.2a
Platform: Darwin i386
$TERM inside and outside of tmux: outside -> xterm-256color; inside -> screen-256color

Hello @GenaANTG 👋

Your $TERM settings look right.

Oh my tmux! does nothing more than set -g default-terminal screen-256color so it's likely something on your Vim configuration.

GenaANTG commented 3 years ago

@gpakosz Thanks mate! When VIM is running without tmux i have no those background highlights. Do you think that problem is with VIM only?

GenaANTG commented 3 years ago

Yeah, looks like problem is with VIM theme. I tried to change to another theme and all going well. Thanks!

On mac you can fix it with next setting for tmux: set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"

gpakosz commented 3 years ago

Except https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/FAQ starts with

Inside tmux TERM must be "screen", "tmux" or similar (such as "tmux-256color"). Don't bother reporting problems where it isn't!

Outside, it should match your terminal: particularly, use "rxvt" for rxvt and derivatives.
