Tmux Basics (Navigation, Tabs, Splits)

Basics

  • there is the concept of a trigger in tmux; a key combo that allows you to follow up with other keys to do some tmux specific stuff
  • the default trigger is ctrl+b; this is awkward for some people so they use ctrl+a (I do this)
  • hitting ctrl+b followed by : will let you go into a mode similar to the vim command mode (where you can type out some commands)

Working with Tabs

  • open a new tab
    • trigger (ctrl+b) followed by c
    • c stands for create
  • go to next tab
