Tmux Keys

Tmux is a terminal multiplexer.

This is a list of keybinds that works with my setup.

The setup can be changed by editing the tmux.conf file.

Quick Tmux explainer

Tmux has sessions you can open and save to use next time they run in the backgroud (cleared when device is restarted).
Inside these sessions you have windows, think of them as tabs in a browser or in a modern gui terminal multiplexer.
These windows then have panes that you can split and resize to have a shell insde of them.

Prefix

To start any command you must press Ctrl+b. Also known as C-b.

In this document it is addressed as prefix.
