use tmux

tmux is an awesome tool. I will try to get some of my bookmarked resources collected here. To begin with a nifty cheatsheet from Reddit or another cheatsheet. And there is an interactive one available online

[!WARNING]

Tmux configuration file precedence

if $HOME/.tmux.conf exists, $HOME/.config/tmux/tmux.conf is not read, so if you do not understand why your changes to not work, that might be the reason

As a hack your could source extra files in $HOME/.tmux.conf like: source-file ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf or similar

I found this great article on how to customize the tmux status bar.

And then there is of course always the man page.

The tmux plugin manager (tpm) is a necessity. It is installed by cloning the repository. See the TIL entry on Use Tmux Plugin Manager.

In can recommend tmux-sensible and resurrect (see: Use Tmux Resurrect).

For better tmux layout and session handling there are tools like:

• sesh
• smug
• tmuxinator
• or tmex

Another interesting tmux related application is tmuxai

• tmuxai
