Useful tmux Commands

May 1, 2011 admin ,

is a powerful console window manager. The most valuable feature of tmux is the ability to detach from a running tmux session, exit the ssh session, relogin to ssh again and resume the tmux session. This is simply beautiful. Here I list some handy tmux commands.

• tmux
  starts the tmux.
• ^b d
  detaches from a running tmux session.
• tmux attach
  attaches to a running tmux session.
• ^b ?
  lists all the key-bindings. Great help.
• ^b %
  splits the window into two vertical panes.
• ^b c
  creates a new window.
• ^b RIGHT/LEFT
  switches to right/left panes.
• ^b PGUP/PGDOWN
  scrolls the buffer up/down.
• ^b d
  detaches the current session.
• tmux attach -d
  attaches to a tmux session, detaching the other clients.

Thank you tmux-team for developing such a useful program.
