Add a '%' sign after cpu_percentage

[zbirenbaum]

It is possible I am just lacking knowledge about string formatting, but set -g status-left '#{cpu_fg_color} CPU: #{cpu_percentage}' functions fine, as does set -g status-left '#{cpu_fg_color} CPU% #{cpu_percentage}' but: set -g status-left '#{cpu_fg_color} CPU: #{cpu_percentage} %' does not function at all. I just want a % sign after the numbers but can't seem to get it to format properly.

Also, set -g status-left '#{cpu_fg_color} CPU: #{cpu_icon} #{cpu_percentage} | %a %h-%d %H:%M ' cuts off everything after the decimal place which is why I took out the string formatting options.

I have no idea why but changing it to be on the right instead of left and using set-option rather than set fixed it completely

Use %% instead of %

Use %% instead of %

I actually tried that shortly after posting but it didn't work unfortunately.
