''tmux'' can be configured globally from <code>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix</code>.

{{nixos:package|tmux}} can be configured globally from <code>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix</code>.

~~There is a good example of [https://github.com/srid/nixos-config/blob/master/home/tmux.nix tmux configuration here].~~

=== Using Plugins ===

Tmux plugins can be also configured using <code>programs.tmux.plugins</code>. They can be found as NixOS packages: [https://search.nixos.org/packages?~~channel=22.11&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&~~type=packages&query=tmuxPlugins tmuxPlugins]. Each of the tmux plugin is run via <code>run-shell</code> automatically.
