tmux

Install

brew install tmux

tmux starts a new session

Use

• ctrl-b % splits horizontally
• ctrl-b " splits vertically
• ctrl-b arrow switches panes
• ctrl-b alt-arrow resizes panes
• ctrl-b x kills pane (but you can also just end the process e.g. 'exit')
• ctrl-b ? lists all possible commands

Thoughts

• ctrl-b is really awkward to type
• opening a new pane opens the same directory which is awesome, but:
  • it removes symlinks (~/CramerDev/ -> ~/Dropbox/CramerDev)
  • it breaks rvm
    • fix with: ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm (is there a way to automate this?)
• don't like the green borders
• my terminal vim colors suck

Other

• ctrl-b 0-9 selects a window(tabs)
• ctrl-b space cycle layouts
