Configure tmux for optimal Amp CLI compatibility. Use when setting up tmux, troubleshooting tmux issues (images, clipboard, Shift+Enter), or asked to check/fix tmux configuration.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Setup tmux for Amp

Analyzes and configures tmux to work optimally with Amp CLI.

## Required tmux Options for Amp

| Option | Purpose | Required For |
|--------|---------|--------------|
| `set -g allow-passthrough all` | Allows escape sequences to pass through to outer terminal | Kitty graphics (images), notifications |
| `set -g focus-events on` | Enables focus reporting for the Amp TUI | Attention and notification features |
| `set -ga terminal-features ",*:hyperlinks"` | Enables OSC 8 hyperlink support | Clickable links in markdown, file references |
| `set -s set-clipboard on` | Enables OSC 52 clipboard | Copy/paste via terminal escape sequences |
| `set -s extended-keys on` | Enables extended key sequences | Shift+Enter detection |

## Required Shift+Enter Mapping

Amp expects Shift+Enter as CSI-u: `ESC [ 13 ; 2 u`.

Add this tmux binding so Shift+Enter sends the exact sequence Amp expects:

```tmux
bind -n S-Enter send-keys -l "\x1b[13;2u"
```

Without this binding, many tmux + terminal combinations collapse Shift+Enter into plain Enter.

## iTerm2 Compatibility

iTerm2 may need a profile-level key mapping so tmux receives the CSI-u sequence.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ampcode/official-plugins/setup-tmux@sha256:0251036c97289765

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.0562610, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
