|
||
tmux</a> 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# We’ll start off with managing tmux from a terminal:
|
||
|
||
tmux
|
||
|
||
new # Create a new session
|
||
-s "Session" # Create named session
|
||
-n "Window" # Create named Window
|
||
-c "/dir" # Start in target directory
|
||
|
||
attach # Attach last/available session
|
||
-t "#" # Attach target session
|
||
-d # Detach the session from other instances
|
||
|
||
ls # List open sessions
|
||
-a # List all open sessions
|
||
|
||
lsw # List windows
|
||
-a # List all windows
|
||
-s # List all windows in session
|
||
|
||
lsp # List panes
|
||
-a # List all panes
|
||
-s # List all panes in session
|
||
-t # List app panes in target
|
||
|
||
kill-window # Kill current window
|
||
-t "#" # Kill target window
|
||
-a # Kill all windows
|
||
-a -t "#" # Kill all windows but the target
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
(M-1) == Alt + b
|
||
-or-
|
||
Meta + b
|
||
|
||
|
||
# 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
# Example tmux.conf
|
||
# 2014.9
|
||
|
||
|
||
