2 different TERMS

[Elimar Riesebieter]

Hi all,

how do I manage to run tmux on screen-256color in urxvt|xterm
and on screen in a vt aka tty ($TERM=linux)?

set-option -g default-terminal screen-256color
is set but this isn't usefull on a tty while i.e. vim is used to run
from the term variable.

I didn't found an if instruction or something like that for
tmux.conf.

Thanks in advance
Elimar

Workaround in zsh:

# run tmux for different TERMS
if [[ "$TERM" == "linux" ]]
then
alias tmux='tmux -f $HOME/.tmux8.conf'
else
alias tmux='tmux -f $HOME/.tmux256.conf'
fi

Well this needs to be optimized to check first whether a tmux-server
runs. If tmux runs in urxvt and I try to open a second one on a vt
it grabs the term definition from the running urxvt session...

new-session didn't help here.

If you use different sessions for console and X, set default-terminal
differently for each (use set-option without -g).

If you use the same session you will need to pick one (screen or
screen-256color) and live with it, or change it when you attach.
