I was wondering if it is possible to completely reset tmux (the UI mainly) ? I have tried deleting my ~/.tmux.conf and reinstalling tmux it but I always ended up with the same status bar I had defined.

  • What configuration did you define in `~/.tmux.conf` (and how did you defined it) that you are now expecting to see changed/reverted to default? – jonatan Jul 10 '16 at 19:30
  • changed the keybindings, the status bar and the borders but when I deleted the `~/.tmux.conf` and restarted tmux they hadn't changed – h.demoff Jul 10 '16 at 19:32

    how did you "restart" tmux? you can try `tmux kill-server` then create a new session to check if your customization are gone. – Kent Jul 11 '16 at 08:29
  • @Kent that was it, didn't kill my sessions – h.demoff Jul 11 '16 at 08:35

    @h.demoff what did you mean "didn't kill my sess.."? – Kent Jul 11 '16 at 08:38
  • @Kent well apparently I had 10 old sessions open and each time I started tmux with `tmux` it attached me to the oldest. I left the sessions by `C-d` bash. – h.demoff Jul 11 '16 at 08:40

Had forgotten to kill the existing sessions:

tmux kill-server

was the solution (credits to: @Kent)
