Ashish Gandhi b6b43eb331 Rename "Mac OS X" to "macOS" in comments
This only changes references in text for human consumption. It leaves
out renaming paths because that can cause breaking changes.

Tmux
====
Defines [tmux][1] aliases and provides for auto launching it at start-up.
Settings
--------
### Auto-Start
Starts a tmux session automatically when Zsh is launched.
To enable this feature when launching Zsh in a local terminal, add the
following line to *zpreztorc*:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:tmux:auto-start' local 'yes'
```
To enable this feature when launching Zsh in a SSH connection, add the
following line to *zpreztorc*:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:tmux:auto-start' remote 'yes'
```
In both cases, it will create a background session named _prezto_ if the tmux
server is not started.
You can change the default session name with:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:tmux:session' name '<YOUR DEFAULT SESSION NAME>'
```
With `auto-start` enabled, you may want to control how multiple sessions are
managed. The `destroy-unattached` option of tmux controls if the unattached
sessions must be kept alive, making sessions available for later use, configured
in *tmux.conf*:
```conf
set-option -g destroy-unattached [on | off]
```
#### iTerm2 Integration
[iTerm2][6] offers significant integration with tmux. This can be enabled by
adding the following line to *zpreztorc*:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:tmux:iterm' integrate 'yes'
```
Read [iTerm2 and tmux Integration][7] for more information.
Aliases
-------
- `tmuxa` attaches or switches to a tmux session.
- `tmuxl` lists sessions managed by the tmux server.
Caveats
-------
On macOS, launching tmux can cause the error **launch_msg(...): Socket is not
connected** to be displayed, which can be fixed by installing
[reattach-to-user-namespace][3], available in [Homebrew][4], and adding the
following to *tmux.conf*:
```conf
set-option -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l $SHELL -l"
```
Furthermore, tmux is known to cause **kernel panics** on macOS. A discussion
about this and Prezto has already been [opened][2].
