tmux Terminal Multiplexer - Cheat Sheet

tmux is awesome and is highly recommended. Here is a man page.

Why Use Tmux?

• Persistence: If your SSH connection drops, your programs keep running.
• Workflow Efficiency: Split screens for viewing logs, editing code, and running tests simultaneously.
• Customization: Use a .tmux.conf file to change keybindings, add plugins (like tpm), and customize the status bar.
• Copy/Paste: Use Prefix + [ to enter copy mode, allowing you to scroll and copy text with vi-like motions.

Architecture

Session > Window > Pane:

• Session - for an overall theme, such as work, or experimentation, or sysadmin, may have more than one window;
• Window - for projects within that theme, may have more than one pane;
• Pane - for view within your current project.
