Summary


In this chapter, we got to jump right in and get a whirlwind tour of some of the coolest features in tmux.

Here is a quick summary of the features we covered in this chapter:

  • Starting tmux

  • Naming and renaming sessions

  • The window string and what each chunk means

  • Creating new windows

  • The prefix key

  • Multiple ways to switch back and forth between windows

  • Accessing the help documents for available key bindings

  • Detaching and attaching sessions

  • Renaming and killing windows

In the next chapter, we will look into configuration and many of the ways tmux can be customized to fit your tastes and workflow.

For a reference of all the commands learned in this chapter and every following chapter, you can refer to the Key binding and command reference section in Appendix.
