• a [[tool]].
  • [[terminal]] [[multiplexer]]
  • I am a [[tmux]] user.
  • I have a love-relationship with it as it makes some things, like copy/paste, harder than I think they could be. then again, I’m not fixing the issues, so :)
  • ctrl-b is the default command combination but I more often use ctrl-a, after [[screen]], and ctrl-v in second-level terminals.
    • I’m thinking of just using ctrl-b everywhere as that way I don’t need to do configuration in every new host.
  • ctrl-b w to list windows.
  • tmux capture-pane -p -S- > /tmp/output.txt dumps the full scrollback of the current pane to a temp file. I’ve tried copying the scrollback fully in other ways… this is the one that worked for me.

tmux

Tmux is a terminal multiplexer, allowing one to track multiple groups of terminals and terminal environments in a Terminal UIapplication.

It's most often used as a window manager on Unix-based systems without a GUI in conjunction with programs like Vim

Unfortunately, the tmux configuration language is very limited, but it provides the right facilities for keymapping and managing windows.

Tmux Tools

https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-pain-control A tmux plugin that offers pane control and standard pane navigation bindings.

Other Work

Byobuclaims to be a more fully-featured window manager built on top of tmux that might be more viable as a day to day interface without an X session. https://zserge.com/posts/tmux/ tmux for mortals
