# Reset An Option Back To Its Default Value
|
|
|
|
Once you start changing the values of options, tmux can be opaque about what
|
|
the original default values were.
|
|
|
|
For instance, if you change the `escape-time` option with the following
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ tmux set-option -g escape-time 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It's now set to `0`, so without digging through the tmux man pages, how do you
|
|
figure out what the default was and restore it?
|
|
|
|
The `set-option` command takes the `-u` flag to _unset_ the option. This will
|
|
restore it to the default.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ tmux set-option -u escape-time
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And you can now see the original default value with `show-option`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ tmux show-option escape-time
|
|
500
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `set-option -u` with any option to restore it to its default.
|
|
|
|
Find `set-option` in `man tmux` for more details.
