zsh?
Does this plugin only work for bash? I run zsh and was really excited about it but nothing seems to happen when I try to use it. I saw something in another issue about the bash version being too old, does that mean zsh is unsupported? If so any chance of supporting t hat in the future?
No, as long as you have bash installed, it should work. I myself primarily use zsh with tmux, and it works perfectly.
Could you describe your problem in some more details? How did you install the plugin? What exactly doesn't work? Can you try running it manually (run ./tmux-modal.tmux in a tmux session) and see if we get some more info?
hey im having a similar issue to this where turning it on and off doesnt work. pressing alt m does nothing and when i turn on modal-on-start I cannot turn it off at all and am forced to remove it entirely
I was just about to close this issue due to inactivity from the original author...
Could you try to answer the questions in my previous response? Thanks!
Hi I'm so sorry I totally forgot about this. To answer your questions finally, I installed using tpm. It seemed to install fine, and the folder is there with all the files, but pressing C-a M-m (my prefix is C-a) does nothing. I look at the keybinds that exist in my tmux session, and there is nothing from tmux-modal. I tried setting the keybind to enter the mode to M-v which was not bound either and it still did not do anything. There was no output from running ./tmux-modal.tmux manually within the session and it does not seem to have any effect as far as the issue is concerned. I don't get any errors or anything anywhere it just seems to have no impact at all
No worries! Now we at least have two people with the same problem in this issue :)
Hm, that's really weird. If ./tmux-modal.tmux runs successfully (exit code 0), we should expect the keybindings to be set up...
What's the output of tmux lsk after running it manually?
Here is the output from tmux lsk:
This is with tmux-modal active

From this output, it looks like it should work. For example, what happens if you press M-m followed by w c. A new window should be created, or? Just out of curiosity, what's the output of tmux show-options -g -v status-left (after loading tmux-modal in tmux)?
You can also add set -g @modal-show-cmd-keys on in your .tmux.conf to see the current sequence of keys in the modal mode (see https://github.com/whame/tmux-modal?tab=readme-ov-file#show-command-keys-in-status-bar).
It looks like mine was actually a keybinding conflict with tmux-notify. Setting the keybind for tmux-modal to
