- Detach from session (keeps it running in the background):
Ctrl + b, d
- List active sessions:
tmux ls
- Reattach to a session:
tmux attach -t session_name
2. Window & Pane Management
- Create a new window:
Ctrl + b, c
- Switch between windows:
Ctrl + b, [window number]
- Split pane horizontally:
Ctrl + b, %
- Split pane vertically:
Ctrl + b, "
- Navigate between panes:

3. Advanced Customizations
- Enable vi-mode for pane navigation (add to
~/.tmux.conf):set-window-option -g mode-keys vi
- Mouse support (add to
~/.tmux.conf):set -g mouse on
- Reload tmux config without restarting:
Ctrl + b, :source-file ~/.tmux.conf
4. Automating Tasks with Tmux
- Send commands to all panes:
tmux list-panes -F 'P' | xargs -I {} tmux send-keys -t {} "command" C-m - Run a script in a detached session:
tmux new -d -s script_session 'bash script.sh'
