When is the menu supposed to appear?

Is the menu supposed to appear after I enter the <prefix> (Ctrl-B) key?

At the moment, nothing happens. I am using tmux 3.2a.

With the default config, the menu should appear when you press prefix + Space.

If that doesn't work, another tmux plugin might be using the same keybinding, such as tmux-thumbs. You can confirm this by checking your prefix keymap:

> # My only keybinding for prefix+Space is tmux-which-key's display-menu command
> tmux lsk -Tprefix | grep Space
bind-key    -T prefix Space   display-menu -T "#[align=centre,bold]#[fg=green,align=centre,bold]tmux#[align=centre,bold]" -x R -y P Run space command-prompt "Last window" tab last-window "Last pane" ` last-pane Copy c "show-wk-menu #{@wk_menu_copy}" '' +Windows w "show-wk-menu #{@wk_menu_windows}" +Panes p "show-wk-menu #{@wk_menu_panes}" +Buffers b "show-wk-menu #{@wk_menu_buffers}" +Sessions s "show-wk-menu #{@wk_menu_sessions}" +Client C "show-wk-menu #{@wk_menu_client}" '' Time T clock-mode "Show messages" \~ show-messages +Keys ? "list-keys -N"

You can change Space to another key by editing keybindings.prefix_table in config.yaml. You can set up a global key binding by uncommenting keybindings.root_table (and optionally changing it to a custom key). For example, I use Ctrl+Space (C-Space) to open the menu without using the prefix key.

If the menu still won't appear, you might be running into this issue. Let me know if you still need help!
