Concepts

tmux allows you to have multiple panes (the equivalent of windows in Vim) and windows (the equivalent of tabs). To access tmux functionality, you first need to hit a prefix key, followed by a command. The default prefix key is Ctrl + b.

Configuration

Configuration file

  • /etc/tmux.conf: system-wide configuration
  • ~/.tmux.conf: user configuration

    Prefix key

    ```bash

    ~/.tmux.conf

Use Ctrl-\ as a prefix.

unbind-key C-b set -g prefix ‘C-\’ bind-key ‘C-\’ send-prefix

  1. <a name="lgzOl"></a>
  2. ### Spit screen vertically and horizontally
  3. ```bash
  4. # ~/.tmux.conf
  6. # Use - to create vertical splits.
  7. bind - split-window -v
  8. unbind '%'
  10. # Use | to create horizontal splits.
  11. bind | split-window -h
  12. unbind '"'

Navigate between panes

  1. # ~/.tmux.conf
  3. bind h select-pane -L
  4. bind j select-pane -D
  5. bind k select-pane -U
  6. bind l select-pane -R

Enable mouse

  1. # ~/.tmux.conf
  3. set -g mouse on

Restart tmux (or execute Ctrl + b followed by :source-file ~/.tmux.conf) to apply the configuration.
