kaernyk 0833c79b34 Massive re-write
I wanted to show a lot more than I had previously, though this may have gotten a little out of hand for a casual glance in comparison to the previous version. I feel that a majority of the available tools/features that tmux has to offer should be noticeable during a quick skim, and the bulk of the information is still digestible over a short period of time.

```bash
# tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be
# created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached
# from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.
# Once you feel comfortable manipulating tmux to suit your needs, I strongly
# suggest you read the man pages, as there are TONS of features Im not going
# to go over.
# Well start of with managing tmux from a terminal, then introduce you to the
# keybinds:
tmux | tmux new # Create an unamed session
-s "Session" # Create named session
-n "Window" # Create named Window
-c "/dir" # Start in target directory
tmux attach # Attach last/available session
-t "#" # Attach target session
-d # Detach the session from other instances
tmux ls # List open sessions
kill-session # Kill current session
-t "#" # Kill target session
-a # Kill all sessions
-a -t "#" # Kill all sessions but the target
## Key Bindings
# The method of controlling an attached tmux session is fairly simple, but
# there are two keys we will see repeated throughout this write-up (as well as
# the man pages).
(C-b) == Ctrl + b THEN ? to list all keybinds
# The default keybinds are as follows:
C-b # Send the prefix key (C-b) through to the application.
C-o # Rotate the panes in the current window forwards.
C-z # Suspend the tmux client.
? # List all key bindings.
: # Enter the tmux command prompt.
r # Force redraw of the attached client.
c # Create a new window.
$ # Rename the current session.
, # Rename the current window.
! # Break the current pane out of the window.
% # Split the current pane into two, left and right.
" # Split the current pane into two, top and bottom.
n # Change to the next window.
p # Change to the previous window.
{ # Swap the current pane with the previous pane.
} # Swap the current pane with the next pane.
s # Select a new session for the attached client interactively.
w # Choose the current window interactively.
0 to 9 # Select windows 0 to 9.
d # Detach the current client.
D # Choose a client to detach.
& # Kill the current window.
x # Kill the current pane.
Up, Down # Change to the pane above, below, left, or right.
Left, Right
M-1 to M-5 # Arrange panes:
# 1) even-horizontal
# 2) even-vertical
# 3) main-horizontal
# 4) main-vertical
# 5) tiled.
C-Up, C-Down # Resize the current pane in steps of one cell.
C-Left, C-Right
M-Up, M-Down # Resize the current pane in steps of five cells.
M-Left, M-Right

### Configuring ~/.tmux.conf
tmux.conf can be used to set options automatically on start up, much
like how .vimrc or init.el are used.
```bash
# Example tmux.conf
# http://dev.gentoo.org/~wired/conf/tmux.conf
# http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Tmux
