Tmux is a terminal multiplexer that enables the concurrent execution of multiple terminal programs within a single terminal session.
This feature significantly enhances productivity by allowing users to monitor various logs, debug programs, settings, and network traffic simultaneously.
For further information on Tmux’s capabilities and benefits, please refer to the documentation.
While Tmux offers a range of customizable settings, some default configurations may require adjustment.
Specifically, the default keyboard shortcut for the Command Prefix, CTRL+B, may be inconvenient for users who prefer to use one hand.
To address this, I recommend modifying the shortcut to CTRL+Q.
Additionally, Tmux’s scrolling functionality can be improved. I already mapped the CapsLk key to a CTRL key in Ubuntu/Gnome.
Scrolling is also not that trivial. So we gonna add mouse/trackpad scrolling. That’s a nice alternative to the keyboard way: Command Prefix + } followed by one of the cursor keys.
Edit .tmux.conf and put the following in:
unbind C-b
set-option -g prefix C-q
set-option -g mouse That's all for now.
