XDG_CONFIG_HOME location for tmux.conf does not work #162

Open dead10ck opened 4 years ago

The README states:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/tmux.conf works too

As of tmux v1.9a, this is not true. It appears from the tmux GitHub issue tracker that the tmux devs have taken a stance against supporting the XDG spec, so it does not look there for the config on its own.

Looks like the Tmux devs to allow it: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/commit/15d7e564ddab575dd3ac803989cc99ac13b57198. However, I still can't get TPM to use the config file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/tmux.conf even on the new version of Tmux (3.1 pre-release) which uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/tmux.conf as a valid config directory.

Edit: tried it again with recompiled Tmux 3.1 and it works!

I'm also facing this issue, even though I'm on 3.3a :/

EDIT Nevermind, I had to reinstall the packages again (prefix + I)
