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.
