Tmux.tmux.conf not loading properly

Question

I am a new Tmux user. I have a .tmux.conf file with a lot of settings, but when I try to download the file, it gives a bunch of errors.

The errors I get are the following:

• unknown parameter: pane-base-index
• Bad value: on
• unknown value: center Value
• invalid: 60
• Unknown command: bind
• unknown command: unbind
• unknown command: setw
• Unknown command: set

Answer 1

The problem was invisible bytes running through the document. Only when I edited in Vim could I see this. Thanks.
