Problem
gentoo/configs-TF-X220/home-stan/.tmux.confwas added (May 6) with only two lines — nodefault-terminalset. Without it tmux falls back toscreen, which has no true-color support and breaks RGB highlighting in neovim and other apps. This is the same class of bug that PRs #16, #22, and #34 fixed for the other tmux configs in this repo.Fix
Add
set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"andset -sa terminal-features ',xterm-256color:RGB', matching the established pattern. Thexterm-256colorRGB override is correct becausealacritty/alacritty.tomlsetsTERM = "xterm-256color"in[env], so tmux needs to know that outer terminal supports RGB.Before
After
