%title: tmux - terminal multiplexer for Unix OS %author: @wikimatze %date: 2021-04-22
-> Have multiple terminal sessions used in parallel in a single window <-
Like a window manager for your terminal (check [i3](http://i3wm.org) or [awesome](https://awesomewm.org))
_Features:_
- Emacs or vi like command mode/mappings for managing tmux
- horizontal and vertical window split support
- remote sessions can be detached (run in background)
- free choice of key bindings
- hackable via scripts
- adjustable with **tmux.conf**
-> # Windows <-
> all commands in tmux starts with Prefix
, which is Ctrl-b
.
> Prefix :
will get you in command-mode
.
- `Prefix c` ... create a new window
- `Prefix :split-window -h` ... horizontal split
- `Prefix :split-window -s` ... vertical split
- `Prefix x` ... kill pane/window
-> # Make your life easier <-
> Time to create your ~/.tmux.conf
\ # Prefix remap to \ unbind C-b # the old Prefix mapping is gone, we can use it for a new command \ bind C-a send-prefix # Prefix a twice will send the command throughout tmux to other programs \ set -g prefix C-a # remap of Prefix (-g says it's global to all sessions)
as well as:
\ # 'Prefix v', 'Prefix s' ... horizontal/vertical split \ bind v split-window -h \ bind s split-window -v
now refresh tmux: Prefix :source-file $HOME/.tmux.conf
-> # Moving around <-
- `Prefix n|p` ... moving to the next/previous window
- `Prefix o` ... cycle through panes
-> # Fancy things <-
Prefix d
... detach current session
-- `$ tmux attach-session -t 0` ... get back into session
- `Prefix z` ... will maximize/minimize the current pane (zoom)
- `Prefix :rename-session -t `
- `Prefix :choose-session`
- `Prefix ?` ... list all keybindings
- `Prefix :set -g mouse on` ... enable mouse support
-> # Showcase <-
- Resize panes demo with vim bindings :)
- `Prefix f` ... search
- URL view plugins
- Send key demo
-> # More?! <-
