Tmux tips and_tricks
- 1. Tmux tips & tricks
- 2. Overview 1. keeping .tmux.conf short 2. tmux workflow: managing windows & sessions 3. fast session switching
- 3. 1. keeping .tmux.conf short • *huge* tmux.conf files with 200+ LOC • “community standard” key bindings + plugins: tmux-sensible tmux-pain-control • build your own plugin
- 4. 2. managing windows & sessions Classic tmux workflow • conservative number of sessions Eg: 2 sessions ‘work’ and ‘private’ • 1 session = many projects • highly maintained list of windows and panes • strict window layouts
- 5. 2. managing windows & sessions Recommended workflow • terminals are “cheap”: create windows & sessions liberally • no need to “manage” or “delete” unused panes, windows or sessions • 1 session = 1 project works well • create window layout on the go (because it’s fast and easy) • *everything* should be fast and easy
- 6. 3. fast session switching • problem with a large number of sessions • `prefix + s` does not work for 5+ sessions. It takes too long to “visually” find the desired session and switch to it.
- 7. 3. fast session switching • recommendation: tmux-sessionist plugin `prefix + g` • principle: - tell tmux what to do - don’t “visually parse” Credit: Gary Bernhardt and his vim tips
- 8. 3. fast session switching • you already know where you want to “go” • session name completion
