+## Italics in tmux and vim
+
+In the file `/configs/.tmux.conf` there is a line to add italics support to tmux:
+
+```
+set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color-italic"
+```
+
+The `$TERM` entry, `tmux-256color-italic` will be unavailable until you add the file, `/configs/tmux-256color-italic` to your terminal database. You can do this with the following command:
+
+```bash
+$ tic ~/pc_settings/configs/tmux-256color-italic
+```
+
