Tmux Wiki

TMUX is a terminal multiplexer that allows users to run multiple terminal sessions in a single terminal window, each with its own shell instance. This provides a number of benefits, including the ability to keep long-running processes running even if the user disconnects from the terminal, the ability to split the terminal window into multiple panes, and the ability to switch between different terminal sessions.

Getting Started with TMUX

To start using TMUX, simply open a terminal window and type the following command:

tmux

You should now be inside a TMUX session. To exit the TMUX session, type Control-b followed by d. To attach to an existing TMUX session, use the following command:

tmux attach

Creating and Switching Between TMUX Windows

• TMUX allows you to create multiple windows within a single TMUX session.
• To create a new window, press Control-b followed by c.
• To switch between windows, press Control-b followed by n to switch to the next window,
• Control-b followed by p to switch to the previous window.

Splitting TMUX Windows into Panes

TMUX also allows you to split a single window into multiple panes, each of which can contain a different terminal session. To split the current window horizontally, press Control-b followed by %. To split the current window vertically, press Control-b followed by ". To switch between panes, press Control-b followed by an arrow key (e.g. Control-b followed by the** right arrow **key to switch to the pane to the right).

Conclusion

TMUX is a powerful tool for managing multiple terminal sessions, and provides a number of benefits over traditional terminal emulators. By using TMUX, you can keep long-running processes running, switch between different terminal sessions, and split your terminal window into multiple panes for a more organized and efficient workflow.
