You Should Know: Essential Tmux Commands & Practices

1. Basic Tmux Commands

  • Start a new session:
    tmux
    
  • Start a named session:
    tmux new -s session_name
    
  • 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:
    Ctrl + b, [arrow key]
    

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'
