META='\001' make
Key bindings:
d detach
c create new window
n next window
p previous window
l last (next to last selected) window
r refresh screen
w list current windows
i show window info
0-9 select window
There is one default server process per user which puts its socket in
/tmp/tmux-UID. It is created the first time tmux is run and subsequent
invocations will connect to the same server. The server holds multiple
sessions.
Syntax is: tmux [-v] [-S path] command [flags]
-v Create logfiles, verbosity increases with more -v
-S Set different server socket path
Commands:
(Commands can be shortened, as long as they are unambiguous)
new-session [-s <session name>] [-d]
Create new session. Attaches to new session unless -d is given.
attach [-s <session name>]
Attach to session.
list-sessions
List sessions (can be shortened to ls).
list-windows [-s <session name>]
List windows (can be shortened to lsw).
rename-window [-s <session name>] [-i <window index>] name
Rename window.
If a session name is not given, the current session is assumed if a command
is run from inside tmux and the TMUX environment variable is available,
otherwise if only one exists, it is used or if multiple exist, an error is
generated.
Sessions are destroyed when no windows remain attached to them.
You might get message "couldn't find server" after a crash, in this case you
must remove the /tmp/tmux-`id -u` file manually.
