Killer feature for me was when I was learning bare metal Kubernetes and had to manually build 3 identical worker nodes. : setw synchronize-panes will send key presses to all panes in the window. Repeat the command to turn it off. I had 3 panes each ssh'd onto a node all receiving the same commands. It was glorious - but nobody seems to talk about that feature!

I've heard a lot of good things about tmux and was thinking "yeah, one day I should try it", but only your video actually made me take my laptop and follow the tutorial step by step. Thank you.

[@RazoBeckett.]

Let's go! I was waiting for this video. To be honest, when you explain, I understand better. It helps me learn new things and use them. It was complex for me to understand tmux; watching other videos never worked for me. But when you explained it, it became much clearer to me.

[@typecraft_dev]

Awesome!

[@j1d7s]

Thanks for starting a series on the topic, I am sure I will "steal" some ideas from it. 😊 I have been using tmux for quite some time now. I have configured zsh to immediately start a tmux session and I have a shortcut on my work machine to set up all my windows and panes I need via tmuxinator (I have several backend services starting up sequentially by having panes watching the contents of other panes to prevent my machine freezing up etc, works like a charm.) I have had no use of different sessions yet, but who knows...

the only tmux feature that I can’t replicate with tiling windows is being able to detach/reattach from a session. I don’t usually find a use case for that. instead, I just minimize the terminal

[@halamadrid5238]

If you have multiple computers, for example a laptop and a desktop, using tmux can improve your experience 1000x. You can work on something on your desktop in neovim in tmux for example, leave your home and then hop onto the train, ssh into your desktop from the laptop and continue exactly where you left off. Good luck doing that with regular terminal windows And you can also have many sessions open at once with only one terminal. I have a script to either open an existing session for a project or launch a new one if it does not exist. If I wanted to do the same thing with terminal windows I would have to have 10+ terminals runnning at once at all times. Its a very good experience to be able to launch a tmux session for any of my projects on my entire computer in just 5 keypresses max, and be exactly where I want to be with all windows/panes set up

I just couldn't find a good use case for tmux for my work yet. 20 years ago this would have been probably really sweet, but these days terminal emulators usually come with split functionality and I've never had the case where I needed to have a long living session. Usually stuff gets auto deployed to kubernetes and I just need to take a quick look into the cluster every now and again.

[@benjamingeiger]

​@@angroxSure, but does anyone still use it? Does it have any significant benefit over tmux? (I mean, I'd love to see someone create a configuration for tmux that makes it behave as closely to screen as is possible...)

[@angrox]

@@benjamingeiger It has no benefit, but the probability it is installed is higher (when you have to work with multiple different *nix systems). At least in my experience. It is like vi (without m) - it is just there.

tmux is a better version of screen ? great video as always

[@rlifts]

Thanks for the videos. I've heard about tmux for years but I just can't see a use case for it. Perhaps in the future I will. I use Linux and can easily change to another workspace with my window manager. At most I will only keep 2 windows open when coding. If I want to go back to the coding session I just switch to the workspace. I see how people can find it useful by attaching to it from elsewhere though.

Are there any benefits performance-wise using tmux 🙂? I'm using whatever multi-pane terminal I have, eg. cmder/Tabby, and it works for me. I kinda like "resetting" everytime, to start from a clean slate, as I change between working on many different projects anyway. Any other benefits, and should I really switch?

[@ivanheffner2587]

At some point, I’m probably going to have to switch from GNU screen to tmux. It’s just that I’ve been using screen for close to 20 years and it’s pretty well incorporated into my muscle memory. Being able to split panes in a window with tmux looks a bit better than how screen does it, at least for a specific use case I wanted to something like that recently. How well does tmux embed sessions within sessions? During my most prolific phase of using screen, I had screen sessions four layers deep, could share the “meta” session with coworkers, pair with them and their view followed my view as I navigated across the different layered sessions. It was a pretty sweet setup given that I needed similar sessions across multiple hosts in multiple environments and needed to swap between them all frequently.

[@Rudra0x01]

Can you share your terminal configuration mainly the background color?

[@bhavyakukkar]

Tmux seems a little overrated tbh. There's better ways of doing a lot of what TMUX does like using a tiling window manager for instance. Or, if you're a filthy Mac user, using a terminal like Kitty that offers splits and tabs but with less annoying keybindings (No ctrl+b to do anything) and more powerful window management. And now of course there's also Zellij, which seems to be like TMUX but better from what I've seen.
