A tmux Crash Course

terminaltmuxproductivityvim

Abstraction: tmux session, window, pane management commands reference

Key points:

Sessions separate full work environments; attach/detach with tmux attach -t <name> / prefix + d
Windows are named tabs within a session; panes split a window horizontally or vertically
Default prefix is Ctrl+b; author remaps to Ctrl+a in ~/.tmux.conf for ergonomics
Copy-mode allows scrolling and inspecting prior terminal output without leaving tmux
Typical dev workflow: 75/25 vertical pane split between vim and terminal for running tests and git
