tmux & screen cheat-sheet

Abstraction: Side-by-side tmux vs GNU screen command reference

Key points:

• tmux prefix key is ^b; screen prefix key is ^a — most commands differ only by prefix
• Session management: tmux attach / screen -r to reattach; ^b d / ^a ^d to detach
• Window navigation: ^b w (list), ^b n/p (next/prev), ^b # (go to window number)
• Pane splits: tmux ^b " (horizontal), ^b % (vertical); screen ^a S / ^a |
• tmux-exclusive: zoom pane (^b z), swap panes (^b {/}), show pane numbers (^b q), cycle layouts (^b [space])
• Document dates to 2009; both tools have gained many features since then
