1. What is Tmux

Tmux is a terminal multiplexer, which means it allows you to manage multiple terminal sessions within a single window. It provides a way to organize and control your terminal environment more efficiently.

With Tmux, you can create and manage multiple sessions, each containing one or more terminal windows or panes. This allows you to work on different tasks or projects simultaneously without needing to open multiple terminal windows or tabs.

2. Installation and Setup

Ubuntu / Debian

apt install tmux

Fedora / Centos

dnf install tmux

Archlinux

pacman -S tmux

And you have the config file of Tmux in .config/tmux or .tmux

3. Tmux Basics

Creating and managing sessions

You can create a new session with this:

tmux new-session -s SESSION_NAME

If you are in tmux you can do it with

$PREFIX + :
new -s SESSION_NAME

Splitting panes

Split horizontale

$PREFIX + %

Split vertical

$PREFIX + "

Navigating between panes

To navigate you can do $PREFIX with the arrow or the vim keybind

Customizing Tmux

There is my tmux config

# Start windows and panes at 1, not 0
set -g base-index 1
set -g pane-base-index 1
set-window-option -g pane-base-index 1
set-option -g renumber-windows on

# activate mouse
set -g mouse on

# change prefix to space
unbind C-b
set -g prefix C-Space
bind C-Space send-prefix

You can also install some plugin for tmux with TPM

I have this plugin installed

tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible
christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator
dreamsofcode-io/catppuccin-tmux
