Recommended default config omits the installation of tmux-cpu plugin

[jnussbaum]

Hello everyone

First a big thank you for this cool plugin, it made my tmux experience much better!

After installing it (via TPM) and copy-pasting the recommended default configuration, I encountered this issue: https://github.com/catppuccin/tmux/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#recommended-default-configuration contains this line:

run ~/.config/tmux/plugins/tmux-plugins/tmux-cpu/cpu.tmux

But this is a plugin that first needs to be installed. So I had to add this to my config:

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-cpu'
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

I think it would be good to update https://github.com/catppuccin/tmux/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#recommended-default-configuration. I'd be happy to open a PR. WDYT?

I'd prefer to remove the cpu plugin entirely IMHO, I don't want several "git clone"s to change the colors of a terminal, and TPM is discouraged.

Thanks for your prompt answer. Do you mean

• remove the entire cpu plugin functionality from the entire repo?
• remove the cpu plugin from the readme?

Would you like to discuss this within your team, or is this something that can be done straightforward?

Or as a temporary fix, I could just add a comment to the respective line in the README.md, like so:

set -agF status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_cpu}"       # depends on [tmux-cpu](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-cpu/tree/master)

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, and have a nice day :-)

haha there is no "team", it's one person who volunteers.

I would remove the CPU plugin from the readme, or I'm also happy with adding a comment (I'm confused why you're using markdown syntax in a code block though)
