Great post!
I'm using the terminal a lot and am usually very lazy with using the mouse^ That's why I'm using easymotion a lot. Unfortunately, there was no easymotion plugin for tmux and I wrote one myself. Check it out github.com/schasse/tmux-easymotion
That's cool. 👀 I'll take a look!
My 'favourite' command is
ctrl+b zto zoom a pane in or out.I have
set-option -g mousein my ~/.tmux.conf so I can click on a pane and it is magically in focus and for copy/pastingMy only pain point is I want to be able to do what I do in
screenand that is detach a pane and let it run in the background whilst I do other things, so I can put my IRC panes away when I'm trying to work!Great overview.
A note for macOS users: the modifier shortcut in tmux installed by
brew install tmuxisCtrl-a, notCtrl-b.Great catch, molte grazie Rhymes!
I would also recommend this tmux configuration, both for beginners and experienced devs:
github.com/gpakosz/.tmux
I've started using it with the intention of tailoring it to my own needs but instead did just some minimal changes, as it's really great config.
Thx for this post.
I have seen an error on Split pane horizontaly shortcut : CTRL+b % instead of CTRL+b "
Thanks!!!
Tmux paired with Tmuxinator is a dream!
I've never used Tmuxinator. Sounds intense. I'll search for it later! 😋
tmuxis one of those things that -- along with Git -- seemed completely incomprehensible the first time I encountered it. I'll have to give it another shot, using your guide.Thanks, Jacob!
It's more intimidating than it should be. You can learn two or three hotkeys and benefit from it. Start slow and don't worry if it takes you a few weeks for the shortcuts to feel natural!
I have been using terminator for same
I haven't used terminator, but I know some people like it a lot. It's a good alternative, I think. 😁
yes it is
Great overview!
Thanks Jacob. This was really a very nice guide for introduction to tmux. I will give it a try.
Glad you enoyed it!
I've been using tmux for a while and only got compliments :-).
And after a while I started using byobu.org/ which is a handy hand facilitating tmux shortcuts
