Other settings

Ring the bell on terminal with tmux on other windows

You can do it manually for a single command <yourcommand> && tput bel

You can also setup use the bell externally with tmux command: tmux send-keys -t <window-name> C-g

Or you can setup the bell globally. You can use the bell-style option in your tmux configuration to specify how the bell should be displayed. Here's an example:

1. Open your ~/.tmux.conf file in a text editor.

2. Add the following line to the file:

   set-option -g bell-style any

   This sets the bell-style option to any, which will ring the bell on the terminal when any activity occurs in a tmux window or pane.

3. Save and close the file.

4. Reload your tmux configuration by running the following command:

   tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

   This will apply the changes to your tmux configuration.
