I know this post is a little old but you helped me fix my vim mouse problems in tmux.

You can still use:

set mouse=a
set ttymouse=xterm2in vim but in your tmux.conf you needsetw -g xterm-keys onNow everything works great and fast! :)

re: One thing I am not satisfied with panes is it's not easy to know which pane is active

I had the same issue (I don't use a blinking cursor in terminals). Take a look at the following settings. they can make it a lot easier to see which panel is active, especially if you go with a reverse video config of the active.
pane-border-fg
pane-border-bg
pane-active-border-fg
pane-active-border-bg

panes share same window, same window name, so which ssh last sets the
window name. And pane doesn't have name, so I guess there is no
solution for that case.

Thanks for your quick response.
It worked. :-)

Here is my ssh() in .bashrc
function ssh() {
tmux set-window-option window-status-current-format "#I:$(echo $@)"
/usr/bin/ssh "$@"
tmux set-window-option window-status-current-format "#I:$(hostname -s)"
}

And I added this to .tmux.conf
setw -g window-status-format "#I:#(hostname -s)"
setw -g window-status-current-format "#I:#(hostname -s)"

This is very neat and clean.
Thanks.

On the second thought I think this is not exactly what you want. I think what you want is after login on remote server and show that hostname. Currently I am not aware of that and I believe I have read a discussion on Arch Linux forums, I didn't follow up the discussion. But I think no solution so far.

So the best workaround I can think of is to change it before you remote login. Sorry, couldn't be more helpful.

Run `tmux set-window-option window-status-current-format $(echo
something)` at a window (in shell prompt), it will set the window name
(not terminal window's title) to something. Hope I read your question
right and this is what you want.

I tried tmux today. But a few doubts.

In screen, I can set the name of a window by executing this:
echo -e "\033k$(echo something)\033\134"

I always use this feature to set window name to the host name I am logged in. Is it possible to to achieve this in tmux?

Hi,

I started using tmux today.
I am still trying to find out many things from this.
So, it would be of great help, if you can suggest.
1. Is there any way to set the color for the background of the tab names?
2. I have created many panes inside my windows.
But, is there any way, I can set a name for these panes and also background color for these names?

Regards,
Narendra
