Status only shows for a split second

Disclaimer:
I'm very new to tmux, so it's highly likely that I caused the issue with a misconfiguration somewhere.

When I load the tmux config it shows the timer for a micro second:

This is my tmux config:

I'm not sure what could be causing the issue, other plugins seem to work fine on the statusline.

The pomodoro menu also works fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm that does seem strange. Have you reloaded your tmux config or shut tmux down and started again?

One possible cause would be if you've set one @pomodoro_mins to a small value and it completes instantly. You could always open your /tmp/pomodoro folder and clear all of the txt files in it.

Yes I did try reloading the tmux config and fully shutting down the terminal. But I didn't do a tmux kill-server, so that might've been the issue.

In the meantime I nicked your tmux config from the dotfiles in your profile, using that config it works great! Bonus points for looking sexy!

[doovel]

Also thanks for the quick reply!

[olimorris]

Hahaha. Glad it's working and glad you like the config. I've only spent about 10,000 hours getting the spacing exactly how I like it 😆
