Welcome to tmux!
2007-10-19 22:43:55 +02:00
tmux is a "terminal multiplexer", it enables a number of terminals (or windows)
2007-10-12 19:32:20 +02:00
to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is intended to be a
simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen.
This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux and OS X and may still
run on Solaris and AIX (although they haven't been tested in a while).

Some common questions are answered in the FAQ file and a more extensive (but
slightly out of date) guide is available in the OpenBSD FAQ at
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#tmux. A rough todo list is in the TODO
file.

A Vim syntax file is available in the examples directory. To install it:
2009-04-21 22:06:12 +02:00
- Drop the file in the syntax directory into runtimepath (such as
2009-04-21 22:06:12 +02:00
~/.vim/syntax/tmux.vim).
2009-01-18 16:55:33 +01:00
- Make the filetype recognisable by adding the following to filetype.vim
(~/.vim/filetype.vim):
2009-01-18 16:55:33 +01:00
augroup filetypedetect
au BufNewFile,BufRead .tmux.conf*,tmux.conf* setf tmux
augroup END
- Switch on syntax highlighting by adding "syntax enable" to .vimrc.
