That’s true, but tmux is more powerful and consume less resources. You might think: “Well, great, many terminal emulators can do the same, like terminator”. This is the functionality I use the most. With tmux, we can also create open multiple shell on a single screen. The script will still run on the remote server, thanks to tmux! Let’s imagine that you need to run a very long script on your remote server. It means that you can run whatever you want in the background, even if you have no terminal open. Why Using tmux? Background OperationsĪs we saw above, you can detach a tmux session from a client (the terminal) and you can attach it back later. “That’s nice and all your zombie stories, but what’s the point?” could ask many readers. Let’s really kill it this time, by pressing CTRL+c. Your infinite loop is back, and you can see that it was still running in the background. Reattach the session to your freshly opened terminal by typing tmux attach-session.You’ll see the session_name displayed before a colon ( :). Again, open a new terminal and type tmux list-sessions.You don’t believe me? You’re right you need to experiment by yourself.
Did the loop stopped? Not at all! It continues to run in the background, because the tmux session itself is still alive. You’ve just created an infinite loop! Now, close the terminal. While : do echo 'This will never end, except if you hit CTRL+C' sleep 1 done In that case, you would only have one session, with the sweet name “0”. You can list every session currently running by typing tmux list-sessions. A new session will be created and attached to a client, your terminal. To understand the concept, let’s try to create a tmux session. If you already know GNU screen (another terminal multiplexer), tmux is similar but more powerful, and easier to config. That’s why it’s called a terminal multiplexer. With tmux, you can create multiple sessions which are totally independent from your terminal.

This completes my conversion from GNU Screen to Tmux. And let's face it, the most important thing a terminal multiplexer gives you is reliable sessions on remote servers. Because if you just set it and forget it, you will be gimped when you find yourself on a foreign server. The most important thing is that your LEARN whatever you choose to shortcut. NOTE: The -h causes it to stack the panes horizontally (with a vertical split) as opposed the default behavior which is the reverse. bind-key choose-window 'join-pane -h -s "%%"'īind-key choose-window 'join-pane -s "%%"'Īlternately, to always join the most recently visited window. bind-key command-prompt -p "create pane from:" "join-pane -s ':%%'"Īlternately, to have an interactive chooser. Notice that break-pane is bound to ! and is right next to it and not bound to anything by default. You can then break them apart with break-pane which by default is: Ctrl+ B ! If you want to bind it to a shortcut, I suggest NOT overriding a default binding like s, because down the road you will look on the internet for an answer that involves choose-session and it will not work on your system. Therefore, in order to add a pane to the current window and place window 1 into the pane, the command would be ( Ctrl+ B or whatever your bind key is, followed by). That is to say that specifying the session is optional, but including the : is mandatory. I discovered that the -t and -s switches seem to accept :window and not window. I too was having problems with my attempts to use it based on the tmux documentation.
