Keybindings and Interactive Commands

admux uses a tmux-style leader workflow by default.

Default Leader

Everyday Keys

  • Ctrl-b % split vertically
  • Ctrl-b " split horizontally
  • Ctrl-b 0..9 select windows by index
  • Ctrl-b h/j/k/l move pane focus
  • Ctrl-b H/J/K/L resize the active pane
  • Ctrl-b c create a new window
  • Ctrl-b n / p next or previous window
  • Ctrl-b x kill the active pane
  • Ctrl-b d detach

Prompt and Views

  • Ctrl-b : open the command prompt
  • Ctrl-b s open the session and window chooser
  • Ctrl-b ? open the help overlay

The command prompt supports tmux-style interactive commands such as:

  • save-session
  • reload-config
  • split-window
  • new-window
  • select-window
  • list-sessions
  • list-windows
  • list-panes

Copy Mode and Buffers

  • Ctrl-b [ enter copy mode
  • Ctrl-b ] paste the top buffer
  • Ctrl-b # list buffers
  • Ctrl-b - delete the top buffer
  • Ctrl-b = choose a buffer

Mouse selection and copy-mode yank both feed the global paste-buffer store.
