tmux session preview not showing

I am using tmux in a number of machines. I have a weird behavior and I cannot find the reason.

I have a laptop running tmux 3.0a and when I do prefix s I get the following:

i.e. a preview of the highlighted session

My desktop machine with tmux 3.0a as well has no preview (I have updated to 3.1b but still nothing):

Both machines have the same tmux.conf

Any ideas?

EDIT: Toggle preview: v is not working on my desktop. If I press it the only thing that happens is that the cursor disappears until I move the mouse again.

Solution

  • Are you sure you are using 3.0a? Check tmux display -p '#{version}'. Remember you need to restart tmux entirely (tmux kill-server) after upgrading.
