tmux/Option/status-right-length

• status-right-length

  • A tmux session option setting the maximum width, in columns, of the right component of the tmux/Status Line. The default is 40.
  • Like tmux/Option/status-left-length it caps rather than reserves, and it keeps the first N characters — so lowering it below what tmux/Option/status-right expands to removes the trailing date and time before it touches the pane title sitting in front of them. Shorten the #{=21:pane_title} cell first, then bring this cap down to match.

  • Usage

    • sh

      tmux show-options -gv status-right-length
      tmux set-option -g status-right-length 30

    • Measure what status-right wants before choosing a cap:
      • sh

        tmux display-message -p '#{w:#{T:status-right}}'
