    Overview


What is a terminal multiplexer? It lets you switch easily between several programs in one terminal, detach them (they keep running in the background) and reattach them to a different terminal. And do a lot more. See the manual.

Cheat sheet

By default [prefix] means pressing and releasing the ctrl and b keys together. The tmux config
attached to this gist rebinds [prefix] to ctrl-a, which is a way easier to type.
Getting started


tmux creates new tmux session
tmux attach -t [target session] reattaches to an existing session

Windows


tmux create-window or [prefix]-c creates a new window, like a tab in Chrome
tmux previous-window, tmux next-window or [prefix]-(, [prefix]-) move between-windows
[prefix]-(number) selects the window with that ID

Panes


tmux split-window or [prefix]-" split a window vertically
tmux split-window -v or [prefix]-% split a window horizontally
tmux select-pane -[UDLR] or [prefix]-(arrow key) select the next pane in that direction
