Welcome to tmux!
|
|
|
|
tmux is a "terminal multiplexer", it enables a number of terminals (or windows)
|
|
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). It is
|
|
usable, although there remain a number of missing features and some remaining
|
|
bugs are expected.
|
|
|
|
Since the 1.2 release that tmux depends on libevent. Download it from:
|
|
|
|
http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/
|
|
|
|
tmux consists of a server part and multiple clients. The server is created when
|
|
required and runs continuously unless killed by the user. Clients access the
|
|
server through a socket in /tmp. Multiple sessions may be created on a single
|
|
server and attached to a number of clients. Each session may then have a number
|
|
of windows and windows may be linked to a number of sessions. Commands are
|
|
available to create, rename and destroy windows and sessions; to attach and
|
|
detach sessions from client terminals; to set configuration options; to split
|
|
windows into several simultaneously displayed panes; and to bind and unbind
|
|
command keys (invoked preceded by a prefix key, by default ctrl-b). Please see
|
|
the tmux(1) man page for further information.
|
|
|
|
A more extensive, but rough, todo list is included in the TODO file.
|
|
|
|
tmux also depends on several features of the client terminal (TERM), if these
|
|
are missing it may refuse to run, or not behave correctly.
|
|
|
|
A Vim syntax file is available in the examples directory. To install it:
|
|
|
|
- Drop the file in the syntax directory in your runtimepath (such as
|
|
~/.vim/syntax/tmux.vim).
|
|
- Make the filetype recognisable by adding the following to filetype.vim
|
|
in your runtimepath (~/.vim/filetype.vim):
|
|
|
|
augroup filetypedetect
|
|
au BufNewFile,BufRead .tmux.conf*,tmux.conf* setf tmux
|
|
augroup END
|
|
|
|
- Switch on syntax highlighting by adding "syntax enable" to your vimrc file.
|
|
|
|
For debugging, running tmux with -v or -vv will generate server and client log
|
|
files in the current directory.
