Tmux - The Terminal Multiplexer

Lets you run multiple 'terminals' within your terminal through:

• Multiple windows - A window takes up the whole space of your terminal, (Think of it like a tab in a browser)

• Multiple panes - A pane takes up a sub-division of a window

Both panes and windows open in the same directory you're already in

To start: $ tmux

To do useful things press Ctrl-B followed by... (not at the same time as)

Key	Action	Notes
Panes
"	Split into panes horizontally
%	Split into panes vertically
!	Turn a pane into it's own window
x	Create window

Arrow keys	switch to different panes
Alt-Arrow keys	resize panes
Windows

What if you want to send Ctrl-B through to the thing you're running inside a window / pane?

Just press it twice
