Memo for Tmux

I installed https://gist.github.com/cybic/6375457 in ~/.bash_completion (file) to get the bash completion.

General shortcuts

tmux attach          -> opens tmux
tmux ls              -> lists open windows
tmux attach -d 0     -> reopens window 0

Inside tmux. prefix = ctrl+b

prefix d         -> detach window (closes tmux)
prefix w         -> lists windows
prefix x         -> close window
prefix c         -> create window
prefix ,         -> rename window
prefix [         -> scroll among history
prefix arrow     -> move among panes
prefix "         -> split vertically (up-down); % for horiz
prefix maj+arrow -> bigger pane
prefix alt+arrow -> even bigger pane
prefix z         -> bigger current pane (redo that to resize like before)

I also created a script called monitor.sh to know which one of the 6 server I should use for my experiments. The thing is that I don’t want the session with 6 htop open to run in background for days.

prefix ctrl+z    -> suspend the current session

To scroll stdout history instead of command history with mouse wheel:

set -g mouse on

If I want to put an open pane to its own window:

break-pane           # current pane is sent to a new window
join-pane -s 0       # -s = source window
join-pane -t 0       # -t = destination window

Gray not displaying (zsh)
