#       (w\ prefix)
#           d --> detach from the current session
#           $ --> rename the current session to, say qqr
#       (w\o prefix)
#           tmux attach -t yourAwesomSessionName --> attach to yourAwesomSessionName tmux session
#           tmux new -s yourAwesomSessionName --> create yourAwesomSessionName tmux session
#   window:
#       (w\ prefix)
#           c --> create a window
#           p --> ping to previous window
#           n --> ping to next window
#           w --> list windows
#           , --> rename the current window to, say qqr
#           & --> kill a window (especially useful when the remote connection is closed and the window is not responding)
#
#   pane:
