Left status session text is truncated

[nobilissimum]

When putting the session module to the left of the status line, the module can only contain a few characters before being truncated. The window tabs are displayed already even when the session text is not printed yet fully.

How can I configure this to show the full text?

# .tmux.conf

set -g status-left "#{E:@catppuccin_status_session}"
set -g status-right ""
set -g @catppuccin_session_text "Long text"

Short text is displayed comp

# .tmux.conf

set -g status-left "#{E:@catppuccin_status_session}"
set -g status-right ""
set -g @catppuccin_session_text "•••"

Here's a complete ~/.tmux.conf

This is my first time ever asking for help for projects like this. I've been using Tmux catppuccin for only around 4 months and I'm not sure if this is a bug, so I'm creating a discussion thread first.

I'd be very appreciative if someone could help with my configuration or confirm me that this is a bug.

From the readme:

set -g status-left-length 100

Also please check out the troubleshooting guide to fix up your config

FYI the line set -ga terminal-overrides ",tmux-256color:RGB" is useless, it won't work because your real terminal is not tmux. Set it to set -ga terminal-features ",*:RGB" (you also don't need the Tc override either, Tc is a private tmux terminfo extension but RGB should be used instead)

This works! Thank you very much

Wait, why are you using this plugin at all? You're not using the colors, so just do something like:

set -g window-status-current-format "#[bg=#1f2a35,fg=#65a884]█#[bg=#65a884,fg=#1d232e,bold]#I • #[bg=#65a884,fg=#1d232e,bold]#{pane_current_command}#[bg=#1f2a35,fg=#65a884]█"

set -g window-status-format "#[bg=#1f2a35,fg=#393c4d]█#[bg=#393c4d,fg=#1d232e]#I • #[bg=#393c4d,fg=#1d232e]#{pane_current_command}#[bg=#1f2a35,fg=#393c4d]█"

set -g status-style "bg=#1f2a35"

set -g status-left "#[bg=#1f2a35]  #[bold]#{session_name} #[fg=#1f2a35,bg=#65a884]"

I didn't know it's this easy to create my own status line. I used the actual catppuccin theme as my initial theme then slowly changed its look to match my neovim.

How can I specify here the different bg color for the normal mode and command mode?

set -g status-left "#[bg=#1f2a35]  #[bold]#{session_name} #[fg=#1f2a35,bg=#65a884]"

Just like you already have in your config, something like: set -g status-left "#[bg=#{?client_prefix,#65a884,#1f2a35}]  #[bold]#{session_name} #[fg=#1f2a35,bg=#65a884]"
