Ctrl-b c
tmux will switch to the new window automatically. You can see the new window indicated in the status-line. Windows are numbered from 0, so our new window is number 1.
Now you can create panes and treat this window like we did before. We can even create another window. Our three windows are numbered 0, 1, and 2.

Ctrl-b n
To move backwards in the index:
Ctrl-b p
To detach from a session:

Sessions, like windows, are numbered beginning from 0. If you forgot which session you wanted to attach to, you can view active sessions:
