#+TITLE: Tmux

Tmux is a terminal multiplexer,
allowing one to track multiple groups of terminals
and terminal environments in a[[file:../concepts/terminal_ui.org][ Terminal UI]] application.

It's most often used as a window manager on Unix-based
systems without a GUI in conjunction with programs like [[file:vim.org][Vim]].

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