Battery module

Requirements

This module depends on tmux-battery.

Install

The prefered way to install tmux-battery is using TPM.

Configure

Load tmux-battery after you load catppuccin.

set -g @plugin 'catppuccin/tmux'
...
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-battery'

Add the battery module to the status modules list.

set -g @catppuccin_status_modules_right "... battery ..."

Create a custom module

It is possible to add a new custom module or overrite any of the existing modules.

Look into custom/README.md for more details.

Any file added to the custom folder will be preserved when updating catppuccin.
