Tmux
Tmux decouples your terminal session from the window. Detach, go home, SSH in, attach, and your cursor is exactly where you left it. v3.5 adds extended keys.
When to Use
- Remote Work: Mandatory for SSH. If connection drops, your run continues.
- Pair Programming: Two users can attach to the same session.
- Layouts: Run Editor, Server, and Logs in one window.
Core Concepts
Session / Window / Pane
Hierarchy: Session > Windows (Tabs) > Panes (Splits).
Prefix Key
Default Ctrl+b. Most users remap to Ctrl+a.
Plugins (TPM)
Tmux Plugin Manager. tmux-resurrect saves state across reboots.
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use True Color: Ensure
termguicolorsworks in Vim inside Tmux. - Use
tmux-sensible: Sets sane defaults (utf8, history limit). - Script Layouts: Use
tmuxinatorto launch standard workspace layouts.
Don't:
- Don't nest tmux: Running tmux inside tmux is a path to madness.
