PassStore - A Tmux Plugin for Password Selector

PreRequisties

• tmux
• tpm
• fzf
• fzf-tmux

How to Install

1. Install tpm Plugin

Add the following line to your tmux.conf file:

set -g @plugin 'LoneWolf38/tmux-pass-store'

NOTE: tpm recommends you list your plugins and then run tpm at the very bottom of your tmux.conf.

Then, run <prefix>+I to install the plugin

2. Customize Prompt (optional)

If your terminal supports Nerd Font symbols, you can customize your prompt.

set -g @t-pass-prompt '  '

3. Setup the PassStore

For now the passwords are in plain text in the form of username;password.

The default file which the plugin looks for is scripts/pass-store-default.

Edit the default file and replace the username;password with appropriate values.

If you don't want to put the file in the plugins dir then you can give any filepath to the plugin for the passStore but the format has to be the same.

set -g @t-pass-store '/path/to/file' 

How to add a custom keybinding

In order to add your own custom key binding to trigger the t script, add the following to your tmux.conf:

set -g @t-bind "G"

You can unbind the default by entering an unmappable string (e.g. none)

Bonus: macOS keyboard shortcut

My personal workflow uses macOS Keyboard Shortcuts for tmux I have bound the G popup to cmd+shift+g with the following code:

Alacritty

Add the following line to your alacritty.yml

key_bindings:
  - { key: G, mods: Command|Shift, chars: "\x02G" } # open the tmux-password-manager popup
