Environment

  • psmux v0.4.5
  • Windows 11
  • PowerShell 7+
  • Windows Terminal

Description

set-option status off is accepted without error and stored correctly, but the status bar remains visible.

Steps to reproduce

# Start a session
tmux new -s test

# In another terminal, set status off
tmux set-option -t test status off

# Verify it's stored
tmux show-options -t test status
# Output: status off

# Also tried globally
tmux set-option -g status off
tmux show-options -g status
# Output: status off

Expected behavior

The status bar should be hidden when status off is set (consistent with real tmux behavior).

Actual behavior

The option is stored correctly (show-options confirms status off) but the status bar remains visible regardless.

Context

Discovered while using sidekick.nvim which sets status off to hide the tmux chrome when embedding CLI tools.
