“tmux cheat sheet”

This post will probably grow over time. Using it as a place where I can put commands I use reguarly.

• ^b c New Window
• ^b , Rename Window
• ^b [0-9] Go to window [0-9]
• ^b l Go to last active window
• ^b n Go to next window
• ^b p Go to previous window
• ^b % Split (vertically) into 2 panes
• ^b % Split (horizontall) into 2 panes
• ^b o Next pane
• ^b [ Go into scroll mode (’q’ to get out of scroll mode)
• ^b : Go into command-mode, and issue commands like ‘resize-pane -L 30’

Force 256 color display

Most of the time, this should automatically get set, but I’ve run into issues w/ some VM configurations that I’ve only been able to get working correctly by forcing it.

Add

set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

To

~/.tmux.conf
