| BugeyeD | lovelace: regarding tmux for screen users ... | 16:34 |
|---|---|---|
| BugeyeD | tmux configuration is relatively straight-forward, and can be tweaked to act like screen. | 16:34 |
| BugeyeD | it comes with an example configuration that does just that: | 16:34 |
| BugeyeD | /usr/share/doc/tmux/examples/screen-keys.conf (on my current system) | 16:35 |
| BugeyeD | here is a decent run-through of what it does, how it works, and how to reconfigure its defaults: | 16:36 |
| BugeyeD | http://blog.hawkhost.com/2010/06/28/tmux-the-terminal-multiplexer/ | 16:36 |
| BugeyeD | the most notable difference in its default config is that the command-key is CTRL-b (screen uses CTRL-a). that was chosen because the original development/testing of tmux was done from within a screen session. :) | 16:37 |
| BugeyeD | i've given several talks on screen over the years; i suppose i'll have to replace those in the future with talks on tmux ... | 16:38 |
| BugeyeD | for reference, my own (pretty simple) config can be found here; please don't spam it ... : http://www.deweyonline.com/fossil/tmux-config | 16:41 |

| lovelace | BugeyeD: Thanks! | 19:40 |
| * lovelace loves how the instructions talk all about splitting windows into panes, but are absolutely silent on how to get them back into single windows! | 19:44 | |
| BugeyeD | lovelace: that's "break-pane" ... CTRL-! in my config (must be default, because i haven't changed it) | 19:54 |
| lovelace | BugeyeD: Yeah, I found that later, but WAY down the page. | 19:55 |
| BugeyeD | CTRL-<space> is mapped to next-layout, which i think is pretty nifty. i've been using xmonad as my window manager for several years now, and i'm able to replicate some of what i use that for directly with tmux | 19:55 |
| BugeyeD | i started with screen-keys.conf to get me started, but eventually just created my own minimal config and am learning the tmux defaults for the rest. | 19:56 |
| BugeyeD | i like simple configs because they are more portable. | 19:56 |
