Now it is

# Upgrade $TERM
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

but why not

# Upgrade $TERM
set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"

tmux color term enables italic font and ensure more color consistency with xterm-256color which is usually the case outside tmux.

Your suggestion is certainly sensible because it is supported by the tmux wiki: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/FAQ#i-dont-see-italics-or-italics-and-reverse-are-the-wrong-way-round, and by my experience.

When used in conjunction with fzf the current setup results in a common fzf issue: junegunn/fzf.vim#1356 (comment)

Using set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color" instead resolves this. Might be worth to changes this.

I'm new to tmux. Been using the default config only with a few changes made to it. Though, I'm glad to have found this, even I was wondering why it gets set to screen-256color when the default tmux-256color has been working tip top.

It has lots of issues and it not very sensible at all:
- tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible#41
- tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible#69
- tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible#74

Just set these defaults myself. It was breaking my shell on Mac :(

If you're still interested, I created a fork where I want to merge a few useful PRs. This issue has already been fixed: DoomHammer#5

It was outdated and causing errors on Darwin, no PRs accepted:
- tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible#41
- tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible#69
- tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible#74

Just set these sensible defaults yourself if needed:
