# Tmux battery status
Enables displaying battery percentage and status icon in tmux status-right.
## Installation
### Intallation with [Tmux Plugin Manager](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm) (recommended)
Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in `.tmux.conf`:
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-battery'
Hit `prefix + I` to fetch the plugin and source it.
If format strings are added to `status-right`, they should now be visible.
### Manual Installation
Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-battery ~/clone/path
Add this line to the bottom of `.tmux.conf`:
run-shell ~/clone/path/battery.tmux
Reload TMUX environment:
# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
If format strings are added to `status-right`, they should now be visible.
## Usage
Add `#{battery_icon}`, `#{battery_percentage}` `#{battery_remain}`, or
`#{battery_status_bg}` format strings to existing `status-right` tmux option.
Example:
# in .tmux.conf
set -g status-right '#{battery_status_bg} Batt: #{battery_icon} #{battery_percentage} #{battery_remain} | %a %h-%d %H:%M '
## Examples
Battery full (for OS X):

Battery discharging, custom discharge icon:

Battery charging:

Battery remain:

Battery fully charged:

Battery between 99% and 51% charged:

Battery between 50% and 16% charged:

Battery between 15% and dead:

This is done by introducing 4 new format strings that can be added to
`status-right` option:
- `#{battery_icon}` - will display a battery status icon
- `#{battery_percentage}` - will show battery percentage
- `#{battery_remain}` - will show remaining time of battery charge
- `#{battery_status_bg}` - will set the background color of the status bar based on the battery percentage
- `#{battery_status_fg}` - will set the foreground color of the status bar based on the battery percentage
- `#{battery_graph}` - will show battery percentage as a bar graph ▁▂▃▅▇
## Changing icons
By default, these icons are displayed:
- charged: ":battery:" ("❇ " when not on OS X)
- charging: ":zap:"
- discharging: (nothing shown)
- attached but not charging: ":warning:"
You can change these defaults by adding the following to `.tmux.conf` (the
following lines are not in the code block so that emojis can be seen):
- set -g @batt_charged_icon ":sunglasses:"
- set -g @batt_charging_icon ":+1:"
- set -g @batt_discharging_icon ":thumbsdown:"
- set -g @batt_attached_icon ":neutral_face:"
Don't forget to reload tmux environment (`$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf`)
after you do this.
*Warning*: The battery icon change most likely will not be instant. When you un-plug the power cord, it will take some time (15 - 60 seconds) for the icon to change. This depends on the `status-interval` tmux option. Setting it to 15 seconds should be good enough.
