# tmux

-   acts as window manager for terminals
-   provides sessions

commands are triggered by `prefix key` (defaults to `ctrl-b`) followed by
`command key`. see list of all commands w/ `ctrl-b ?`.

## panes and windows

split terminal w/ panes, which behave like tiling wm.
create new full screen terminals w/ windows.

-   `%`, `"` split vertically, horizontally
-   `←`, `→`, `↑`, `↓` move to pane left, right, up, down
-   `ctrl-←`, `ctrl-→`, `ctrl-↑`, `ctrl-↓` resize pane in given direction
-   `z` toggle make pane full screen (w/o transforming it to window)
-   `{`, `}` swap last panes
-   `c` create new window
-   `n`, `p`, `[number]` move to next, previous, number-th window
-   `,` name current window

# scrolling

-   `[` enter copy mode, move w/ page up, down
-   `⏎` leave copy mode

## sessions

```sh
# create session, optionally w/ with name
tmux
tmux new -s name
tmux rename-session -t oldname newname
# list all sessions
tmux ls
# attach to last or named session
tmux attach
tmux attach -t 2
# switch to named session
tmux switch -t 2
```

-   `d` detach current session
-   `D` detach session of choice
