-  $ while true; do date; sleep 1; done
+  * ctrl-b d => detach
-  $ ...
+  * ctrl-b w => list windows and select it
+  * ctrl-b n => next window
+  * ctrl-b p => previous window
+  * ctrl-b # => go to window # (select by number)
+  * ctrl-b ? => help
+  * ctrl-b c => new shell window
+  * ctrl-b x => kill current pane
-Configure your session:
+I use to rebind 'ctrl-b x' to kill current session (or server), like that:
-  $ tmux set-option -t sessionid -g default-shell /bin/bash
+  tmux bind-key x kill-session
-  # enable to select panes/windows  with mouse (howewer, hold shift key, to copy/paste with mouse)
-  $ tmux set-option -t sessionid -g mouse on
-  $ tmux set-option -g prefix C-b   # default prefix
-  $ tmux bind-key C-c kill-session  # press "C-b C-c" to kill session!
+If you want to list current tmux sessions:
-  $ tmux set-window-option -g window-status-current-bg red
-  $ tmux set-option -g status-left ''
+  tmux ls
-  $ tmux set-option -g status-right '#[fg=colour233,bg=colour241,bold] %d/%m/%Y #[fg=colour233,bg=colour245,bold] %H:%M:%S '
+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!
