 ===== TMUX Tips =====
@@ Line 23: / Line 43: @@
 A tmux session can contain several windows and a tmux window can contain several panes (with a tiled layout for instance). The window ID of the window 'n' in session 'sessionid' is 'sessionid:n', and the pane ID of a pane 'k' in a window 'n' is 'sessonid:n.k'.
-Start tmux server and session 'sessionid':
+Start tmux server:
   $ tmux start-server
-  $ tmux new-session -d -s sessionid -n console bash         # tmux console
+Start a new session 'sessionid' and a first window in this session:
+  $ tmux new-session -s sessionid -n win0              # run an interactive shell in foreground
+  $ tmux new-session -s sessionid -n win0 ./test.sh    # run a command in foreground
+  $ tmux new-session -d -s sessionid -n win0 ./test.sh # run a command in background (detached)
+Start another window in this session:
+  $ tmux new-window -t sessionid -n win1 bash
 List windows and panes:
@@ Line 34: / Line 63: @@
   $ tmux list-panes -t sessionid:0    # list all panes in window 0 of session
-Join session:
+Attach session to the end user's terminal (tmux in foreground). Then, you can get multiple displays of a session:
-  $ tmux join -t sessionid -s $WIN -t 1
+  $ tmux attach-session -t sessionid
-  $ tmux attach-session -t
+Enable mouse (useful to switch windows or select panes in tmux) :
+  $ tmux set-option -t sessionid -g mouse on
+Moving a source pane into a target window:
+  $ tmux list-panes -a
+    pouet:0.0: ...
+    pouet:1.0: ...   <- current one
+  # mv src pane 'pouet:1.0' to win 'pouet:0'
+  $ tmux join-pane -t pouet:0
+  $ tmux list-panes -a
+    pouet:0.0: ...
+    pouet:0.1: ...   <- current one
+In order to reverse the 'join-pane' operation, use break-pane:
+  $ tmux list-panes -a
+    pouet:0.0: ...
+    pouet:0.1: ...   <- current one
+  $ tmux break-pane # break src pane off its current window
+  $ tmux list-panes -a
+    pouet:0.0: ...
+    pouet:1.0: ...   <- current one
+Instead of moving an existing pane, you can use 'split-window' to create a new pane:
+  $ tmux list-panes -a
+    pouet:0.0: ...
+    pouet:1.0: ...   <- current one
+  $ tmux split-window
+  $ tmux list-panes -a
+    pouet:0.0: ...
+    pouet:1.0: ...
+    pouet:1.1: ...   <- current one
+If you want to reverse the prevous
+  $ tmux break-pane
 Kill session:
   $ tmux kill-session -t sessionid
-Configure your session:
+Link a window/pane in another session (multiple display):
-  $ tmux set-option -t sessionid -g default-shell /bin/bash
+  $ tmux new-session -s pouet1
-  # enable to select panes/windows  with mouse (howewer, hold shift key, to copy/paste with mouse)
+  $ tmux new-session -s pouet2
-  $ tmux set-option -t sessionid -g mouse on
+  $ tmux list-panes -a
+    pouet1:0.0: ... %0 (active)
+    pouet2:0.0: ... %1 (active)
+  $ tmux link-window -s pouet1:0.0 -t pouet2
+  $ tmux list-panes -a
+    pouet1:0.0: ... %0 (active)
+    pouet2:0.0: ... %1 (active)
+    pouet2:0.0: ... %0 (active)
+==== Useful Shortcuts ====
-  $ tmux set-option -g prefix C-b   # default prefix
+  * ctrl-b d => detach
-  $ tmux bind-key C-c kill-session  # press "C-b C-c" to kill session!
+  * ctrl-b w => list windows and select it
-  $ tmux set-window-option -g window-status-current-bg red
+  * ctrl-b n => next window
-  $ tmux set-option -g status-left ''
+  * ctrl-b p => previous window
-  $ tmux set-option -g status-right '#[fg=colour233,bg=colour241,bold] %d/%m/%Y #[fg=colour233,bg=colour245,bold] %H:%M:%S '
+  * ctrl-b # => go to window # (select by number)
+  * ctrl-b ? => help
+  * ctrl-b c => new shell window
+  * ctrl-b x => kill current pane
+I use to rebind 'ctrl-b x' to kill current session (or server), like that:
+  tmux bind-key x kill-session
+If you want to list current tmux sessions:
+  tmux ls
+If you want to (re-)attach your session (assuming there is only one running session):
+  tmux a
+If you want to kill all...
+  tmux kill-server
+Enjoy!
