Hello @fwarmuth 👋

I'm not a TPM user myself but as far as I remember people got it working with TPM. Search the issues queue.

I'll think about adding instructions but as I don't use TPM myself, I don't want this configuration make people believe I'm the good person to answer TPM related questions.

One issue that discusses tpm and oh-my-tmux is #228. I followed that approach and it works.

I am very new to tpm. I had assumed it would just work with oh-my-tmux, but eventually figured out it didn't and found this issue I agree that something in the README may be useful to others.

Sourced from an issue on TPM page:

TPM has a known issue when using a custom config file with the -f option. The solution is to use alternative plugin definition syntax. Here are the steps to make it work:

remove all set -g @plugin lines from tmux config file

in the config file define the plugins in the following way:

 # List of plugins
 set -g @tpm_plugins '          \
   tmux-plugins/tpm             \
   tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible   \
   tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect  \
 '

 # Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
 run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

Reload TMUX environment so TPM is sourced: $ tmux source /path/to/my_tmux.conf

The plugins should now be working.

💁‍♂️ There is now a tpm branch up for testing that integrates Oh My Tmux! with TPM, see .tmux.conf.local for instructions
