Ubuntu: tmux

Tmux (Terminal Multiplexer) is really helpful for running many virtual terminals that stay around even after you exit out of the server.

Some quick cheats are:

  • tmux -V: What version you are running.
  • CTRL b %: Split terminal horizontally.
  • CTRL b “: Split terminal vertically.
  • CTRL b LEFT: Switch between panes to the left.
  • CTRL b RIGHT: Switch between panes to the right.
  • CTRL b DOWN: Switch between panes to the down.
  • CTRL b UP: Switch between panes to the up.
  • CTRL b z: Toggle a pane.
  • CTRL b x: Kill the pane you are on.
  • CTRL b c: Create a session window.
  • CTRL b NUMBER: Enter 1, 0, 2, etc and you can switch to that session.
  • CTRL b d: Detach from tmux keeping it running.
  • tmux ls: Lists all sessions currently running.
  • tmux attach -t 0: Attach to the session by number. If you have two you can select 1 instead of 0.
  • tmux kill-session -t 0: This kills a session by session number.
