I realise you can rebind them, but both screen and tmux do themselves a disservice by choosing binding keys which overlap with prominent keys in emacs and for users who use emacs mode in their shell. First impressions count. If you want to configure tmux to use just a backtick as the escape, create ~/.tmux.conf unbind C-b set -g prefix ` bind-key ` send-prefix When you need to type a backtick just press it twice. For…

I use ` as the prefix, so you might take a look at my tmux.conf[1] if you want help transitioning.

If you like tmux, also check out teamocil ( https://github.com/remiprev/teamocil ) to really enhance your use. It enables you to define tmux sessions via YAML, which is great for programmatically setting up a complex dev session. Mine, for example, fires up six panes in my preferred layout, and starts up a particular part of our project in each pane.

I only glanced it over, but I'm having a hard time seeing the advantage of this over shell scripts calling tmux commands.

You could achieve the same thing with shell scripts, but one of teamocil’s advantages is that it gives you the simplicity of YAML to build complex layouts.

It's definitely a well-done, and I'll be pointing new users of tmux at it. I would have been all over it if I would have seen it the first time I dove into tmux's man page way back when.

If I get a chance, I'll give a go at converting the scripts for some of the layouts I use all the time, and see if it sticks.

Emacs users should be using Emacs as their terminal multiplexer...

AFAIK there are tmux 'windows' which are like tabs and 'panes' which are vertical and horizontal splits in 1 tmux window but assuming you mean 'panes', it seems you can: Ctrl-b o to move around the current window's panes clockwise. Although I prefer inputing a given direction like the other replier suggested with arrow keys. For me moving between windows and panes is something that I do a lot. So much so that I remov…

Thanks. Yes, I meant panes. I also did the thing to get rid of the tmux prefix for pane switching. But since I don't use the function keys, I mapped keys F1 through F9 to various tmux functions. F1 = next pane, F2 = prev pane. One less key to press. :)

cool! Hehe, ya, one less key to press FTW! :D
