tmux.conf

# By Daniel Thau.  Public domain.

# This configuration file binds many vi- and vim-like bindings to the
# appropriate tmux key bindings.  Note that for many key bindings there is no
# tmux analogue.  This is intended for tmux 1.3, which handles pane selection
# differently from the previous versions

# split windows like vim
# vim's definition of a horizontal/vertical split is reversed from tmux's
bind s split-window -v -c '#{pane_current_path}'
bind v split-window -h -c '#{pane_current_path}'

# move around panes with hjkl, as one would in vim after pressing ctrl-b
bind h select-pane -L
bind j select-pane -D
bind k select-pane -U
bind l select-pane -R

# resize panes
bind < resize-pane -L 10 
bind > resize-pane -R 10
bind - resize-pane -D 10
bind + resize-pane -U 10 

# vi-style controls for copy mode
