Looks like a nice .tmux.conf. Wonder if it's online anywhere.

Thanks for posting the .tmux.conf link. Modified the window decorator line as sometimes you can't always tell which pane you are in:
set-option -g set-titles-string '#(whoami)@#H session: #S window: #I-#W pane: #P'
Also noticed that the status right only updates the time if you perform a tmux op.
Really wish more tools took care into making solid defaults and not assuming all users are like the ones on their mailing lists.
[0] like switching to a non-existent-numbered screen to get a list of which ones I do have...

iTerm's killer feature for me is the special paste modes - it is trivially easy to do things like visually select a block of processes numbers from ps and then paste that block as a space-delimited list on one line to kill them, etc. Terminal.app is fine for most things but can't do stuff like this.
ps aux | grep 'thing' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill
ps -ef | grep 'thing' | awk '{print "kill -9 " $2}' | sh
If you use tmux and vim, and if you run tests, then you must look at janko-m/vim-test and vim-dispatch. Runs any test seamlessly in the background. Vim-dispatch also has the best intro video to anything ever ;) https://vimeo.com/63116209
When I was first introduced to tmux, I was really excited by having a terminal session I could reattach to. I was never able to get very deep into it though: (1) a lot of the time a single script would get me up to speed, (2) the extra layer of abstraction broke some stuff I was doing, and (3) I couldn't make heads or tails of a lot of the tmux documentation. I'll definitely take a second look at a lot of the things…
Half a dozen commands will get you 90% of the way there. After you've run tmux: ctrl+b followed by... % - split pane vertically " - split pane horizontally arrow keys - change pane you're typing in :new-window 2 - switch to window 2 x - kill pane d - detach Command line arguments: tmux list-sessions tmux attach #will attach to last session by default tmux attach -t0 #will attach to session 0
tmux list-sessions
tmux ls

I do that, not in a real "tiling window manager" but something very close: openbox, set to show no titlebars, and using shortcuts to title the windows to precise positions. I have 3 position: most of my screen on the left, a small vertical slice on the right, a smaller chunk underneath. If I want a titlebar for some application, I have a shortcut that will give the window a titlebar, and then I can move it around wit…
Thanks, this is very interesting. I agree one of the major pain points of X11 systems, terminals, etc is the clipboard. So many different concepts and shortcuts across programs. I use xmonad, urxvt or xterm, emacs-nox and vimperator. I'm trying to make all them consistent. Perhaps the last thing to polish in my setup.
Dealing with stdout/err is another beast...

ps aux | grep 'thing' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill
My own version of that command: ps -ef | grep 'thing' | awk '{print "kill -9 " $2}' | sh On most of my systems, I tend to make a shell script out of it and usually save it to /usr/local/bin/kll (and I don't care about grepping out grep because it doesn't seem to affect anything).
pkill thing
killall thing
To me tmux, like a lot of tools, suffers from bad defaults that makes it less enjoyable to use. One example is not being able to scroll with a mouse. I usually find someone's tmux.conf online and use it, but always run into strange problems that I don't have the energy figuring out. My current conf suffers from the navigation bar going completely black when I try to rename a pane (can't see what i'm typing). Really w…
set -g mouse on
I've had more issues with Mac than in Linux with tmux tbh.
