Does anyone know where to find a good introduction to tmux? I attempted to start using it a couple of weekends ago but wasn't able to find any good documentation with my google-fu.

It costs $ but I really liked this pragprog book:

http://pragprog.com/book/bhtmux/tmux

Really good introduction, and the included config file is a good start.

pushd /tmp && \ wget 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tmux/tmux/tmux-1.8/tmux-1.8.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Ftmux.sourceforge.net%2F&ts=1364579710&use_mirror=garr' && \ gunzip

A simple `tar -xvf` can replace the separate `gunzip` and `tar` processes.

You can bypass writing the archive to disk, as well:

    pushd /tmp && \
    curl 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tmux/tmux/tmux-1.8/tmux-1.8.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Ftmux.sourceforge.net%2F&ts=1364579710&use_mirror=garr'| tar xvf && \
    cd tmux-1.8 && \
    ./configure --prefix=~/installs/tmux-1.8 && \
    mkdir ~/installs && \
    make && \
    make install && \
    popd

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…

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

Could you elaborate? I'd love to try that.

If ctrl-a is your escape key then just do this:

    bind-key C-a last-window

Yes, formally. You don't have to specify -z in GNU tar today, you can just say -x and it'll add -z or -j for you -- it figures out on the fly if the archive's been compressed and how. Very convenient.

You can also leave off the dash: `tar xvf`

And you may skip verbose too: `tar xf`

M+x ansi-term should do it. I'm not sure how well that scales to many terminals though. M+x term also works. There is also eshell.
