TMUX - the terminal multiplexer - is one of my all-time favourite pieces of software. If you work in the terminal and you're not already using tmux, then this video will tell you everything you need to know to get started. If you're a seasoned tmux user, you might find a few useful tips and tricks in my setup.

Such a great video. Thanks for making this, was able to start from never having used tmux to complete setup in under 30 mins.

Been using Tmux for years and ashamed to admit I had never used a number of these options. Thank you 👍

I've been using tmux for a while, but not consistently. Because of your video I'll be doing some customizations, especially mouse support. And, until you mentioned it, I hadn't thought to start tmux sessions on my Linux SSH sessions. IMHO, a great tip right there. Thanks!

@jeffreyhunter4115 2 года назад

This may be the day where I make the switch from ‘screen’ after many decades! Great video. Very well organized.

@tech_craft 2 года назад

I moved over to tmux from screen many, many years ago and I haven't looked back. I remapped Ctrl-A to the prefix for a while before deciding I wanted to locate it somewhere more convenient, but I think it helped with the move.

@Oscar-ni3fx 2 года назад

Great video as always. A small suggestion that would have been helpful for this video. Blink has keycast, which shows on screen the keys you are pressing. For regular videos where what’s important is the text you are typing, it does not matter, but here it could have been useful to show the sequence of prefix+shorcut. Blink even lets you toggle keycast with a keyboard shorcut so you can activate it only when necessary.

I used to use TMUX because it was simply the first thing that showed up when I looked for what I wanted/needed to do. But one day it hit me > "I have a thousand lines long vimrc that simply goes to waste when I'm remoting somewhere, especially if all there is is vi". That was when I started using EMACS, of course with evil mode. Since you can open terminals and run a multiplexer from inside emacs, you can just use your editor on literally everything.

@fredlaxton 2 года назад

I used to use screen for many years, until it was abandoned. I switched to tmux with little pain, remapping it to use Ctrl-a as the prefix, like screen (muscle memory!). Instead of using ssh directly, I use mosh, which uses ssh internally to connect. Why mosh? Because you can close your laptop, iPad, whatever on one network, go somewhere else where you’re on a different network. Open it back up and your mosh connection is still working. No more dead ssh sessions! Also, it will predict feedback and type it on the screen, even on a slow connection, so it makes slow connections “feel” faster than they really are. I did learn a few tricks, especially about the status line customization. I’d been doing it the hard way with powerline - I will give this a try. Great video!

@tech_craft 2 года назад

Fully agree with the mosh sentiment - I covered that in my previous video.

@fredlaxton 2 года назад

@@tech_craft AND I too had done this tmux status line the hard way. I got it set up on Linux and then couldn’t duplicate it on Mac. Following your instructions, I threw out my old powerline mods and got it set up with Dracula in about 10 minutes. THANK YOU!

@marcelwiget8996 2 года назад

I'm using Blink with tmux for some time now. The lack of using mouse to resize pane issue I worked around by using the standard ^B and hitting the arrow keys while keeping ^B pressed. This is good enough for me.

@OlaInTheClouds 2 года назад

Great tips, been using tmux for a while. awesome tool, being able to leave a running session and pick it up again from else where. It's funny how these "old" terminal tools like vi(m) and screen (from 1987) replaced by tmux is having a second coming. GUI dev tools are nice but sometimes you can't use them and need good cmd line alternatives.

@billeterk Год назад

Ooh.. I’ll have to check out plug-ins. It took me a little while to find a free enough key combo for a prefix but have settled on ctrl-space which works well with space as vim leader too.

@nathanaelculver5308 2 года назад

Good video, as always. But what I’d really like to see is a tutorial on automation and inter-pane and inter-window communication, such as sending commands to other panes. You could, for example, script the creation of a tmux layout and launch and control apps in other panes, and so forth.

@ryanmchale8902 10 месяцев назад

@nathanaelculver5308 10 месяцев назад

@@ryanmchale8902 Here’s an example script that will open three panes and send a command to each. You’ll need to run the script from within TMUX: tmux new-session -d tmux rename-window ‘TMUX-automation’ tmux split-window -v -p 35 tmux split-window -h -p 50 tmux select-pane -t 0 ; tmux send-keys ‘echo THIS IS PANE 0’ C-m tmux select-pane -t 1 ; tmux send-keys ‘echo THIS IS PANE 1’ C-m tmux select-pane -t 2 ; tmux send-keys ‘echo THIS IS PANE 2’ C-m tmux -2 attach-session

@tech_craft Год назад

Sadly sessions won’t survive reboot of the host. The question marks sounds like you have a font that’s missing the powerline characters. Which font is it? It may have a dedicated powerline variant that you can find in NerdFonts

@sfuoncall 2 года назад

I like tmux for the automation that is possible. The one thing that I prefer "screen" over tmux is that screen can: 1. Save the output to a log file. 2. You can scroll back. screen is only full screen unlike tmux that lets you create panes.

@sfuoncall 2 года назад

Note: I use both.

@sfuoncall 2 года назад

Another Note: I also re-map the prefix from Ctrl-B to Ctrl-Z because I am a heavy vim user.

@fredlaxton 2 года назад

You can scroll back with tmux too.

Hi. As to tux and macOS, are you aware that the tmux keyboard combinations can be remapped to match those commonly used in macOS (and other OSs)?. There is a great tutorial by Josh Medeski called "macos keyboard shortcuts for tmux". Thought this info might be interesting.

@tech_craft Год назад

Nice idea. I've gone the other way - I use the same shortcuts I have in my XMonad setup on the Mac.

@totallyperfectworld 2 года назад

Okay, so how do you combine tmux with mosh in blink - so basically try to attach to an existing tmux session, but if non exists, then create a new session?

@tech_craft 2 года назад

Essentially yes. You can configure Blink to launch tmux automatically when you log in. You can use a command like `tmux new -A -s ` to attach to a session,creating it if it doesn't already exist.

@zestynotions 2 года назад

Long term user of tmux too, but never tried to tpm plugin manager, brilliant! have you tried the tmuxinator for async session and automation that works with tmux? you can then start predefined tmux environment with panes etc and run commands automatically in those panes. Can also have it create multiple ssh sessions in the panes to update many servers async etc. :)

@zestynotions 2 года назад

btw this is also nice to add in your .zshrc or .bashrc on the servers you connect to = tmux attach || tmux new That way on ssh/mosh login you will always automatically connect to the previous tmux session or create a new if one does not exist :)

@tech_craft 2 года назад

I was using tmuxinator for a few years, but then I stopped in favour of just leaving the sessions running on machine that I rarely shutdown. I may have to revisit to see what is new though!

Couldn't wait and started immediately. 😂 Problem: after adding the Dracula plugin line to the .tmux.config file, saving it, reloading with ctrl-t r and doing a ctrl-t I - nothing happens. I don't get that fancy status bar that we see in your video. 😞 Am I maybe missing an installation step for the Dracula tmux theme? On the other hand: no extra installation seems to be needed according to their webpage. #bummer

@StefanWolfrum 2 года назад

Ohhkayy ... exited the tmux session completely, started a new one, learned that the config file should be named .tmux.conf (not .tmux.config) to be read automatically (because all of a sudden ctrl-t wasn't the command key anymore) and all of a sudden, dracula showed up! 😉

@StefanWolfrum 2 года назад

Now even configured the hosts I connect to in Blink so that mosh & tmux starts autmatically, tmux attaching to the last session. Very nice! Now I need a cheat sheet for tmux commands next to my iPad Pro screen! 😂 And I have yet to find my command key because ctrl-t is bound in some tools (like nano) to other functions.
