"Multitask, prioritize, and execute effectively with the Terminal Multiplexer"
Starting Tmux (in the terminal):
Show Tmux sessions: tmux ls, tmux list-sessions
Attach to last session: tmux attach, tmux attach session
Attach to "mysession": tmux a -t mysession, tmux attach -t mysession
Kill all sessions: tmux kill-session -a
kill "mysession": tmux kill-session -t mysession
Keystrokes go to the terminals except for...
...the colon : and a command:
New session :new
New session "mysession" :new -s mysession
Maximize window, detach others :attach -d
Send command to all panes :setw synchronize-panes
...the "Prefix" given before Tmux commands is Ctrl - a
...I say again: the Tmux "Prefix" is set to Ctrl - a
...and the Tmux command is sent after the prefix.
Commands sent after the prefix:
Reload the configuration: r
Split area horizontally into left and right panes | ("pipe" symbol)
Split area vertically into top and bottom panes: - ("dash" symbol)
(These navigations among panes are Vim-aware)
Move to the next pane left: Ctrl + h
Move to the next pane down: Ctrl + j
Move to the next pane up: Ctrl + k
Move to the next pane right: Ctrl + l
Move to the previous split: Ctrl + \
Toggle between pane layouts: Space
Show pane numbers: q
Resize a pane: use arrow keys and optionally Ctrl
Rename the current session: $
Show all sessions: s
Detatch from current session: d
Move to previous session: (
Move to next session: )
Create a new window: c
Close an existing window: &
Rename the current window: ,
Move to previous window: p
Move to next window: n
Select window by number: 0...9
There is much more to Tmux than these commands... Get thyne self to quality
online sources and study this software. It is a beautiful tool.
