Tmux will SKYROCKET your productivity - here’s how

[@mahirabbas3700]

Thanks nerd

[@typecraft_dev]

HEYOOOOOO

[@sonalita_]

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!

This was great for the 1st video of a series, massive respect for que quality of the content and the editing, I am subscribed for life. Hope I get to see how all of the tmux power can come to life in a work environment (: Cheers from Mexico City

[@PetrenkoAndrii]

I started using tmux occasionally about 3 years ago, just for session sharing. But your older videos about tmux made me coolest kid around the block :) I’ve even purchased bigger 4k screen to have everything I am doing collected together in tmux. Looking forward for the series, I know in your presentation style, this will be a good one! This particular video is amazing and refreshing as well. Helped to recheck what we know about this money making tool 😂

[@typecraft_dev]

Haha I love that you’re the coolest kid on the block now!

[@somedudewithakeyboard]

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.

[@nostalgicnow6001]

Being a tmux nerd and listening to another tmux nerd is life 🙌🏾🙌🏾after mastering tmix ( neovim & obsidian) should be on the list to master

[@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...

[@typecraft_dev]

I love tmuxinator!! Thanks for being a member!!

[@johannesgrundl5642]

[@bombrman1994]

I love this, I was just configuring my tmux yesterday on my linux workstation. I like it so much, especially when i have it setup with my favourite ide within the terminal whether its nvim or emacs. Keep it up, i would love to watch this on daily basis to learn new things with tmux to maximize its power

[@slim_mike]

Thanks nerd!, I got to you because I'm learning nvim, and now I'm using tmux because of you!

[@halamadrid5238]

Tmux makes using Neovim a must. If I ever switch to a non-terminal editor I will lose all tmux benefits. Tmux+neovim is love, tmux+neovim is life.

[@BrentMalice]

these are amazing. the kinda stuff primagens "how to be a nvim dev" just briefly skimmed over. u a great teacher too. perfect editing to highlight the important parts but not overshadowing the secondary information. fast enough to mostly hold my attention but slow enough to go over everything cya at 100k subs fam

Found this video right before going to sleep and got that quite interesting and already tryed every step with you. Thank you, can't wait to look more videos.

tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum is my favorite tmux plugin. Good video Btw.

[@sterben4958]

you have quickly become my go to source for anything vim related and more

[@typecraft_dev]

Love hearing this thank you

[@guyindisguise]

Tmux always felt confusing to me. This helped a ton. Only thing missing for completeness in my opinion was how to close panes/windows/sessions. Thanks for the great video! EDIT: I hope in the practical application part of this series you'll also mention when you use a different session vs different windows vs different panes, just so newcomers have a decent mental model of how to best use tmux.

[@doraidsed3140]

Like your content, very clear explanations. Thaks for sharing your knowledge.

[@carlmeyer96]

I took a break from learning how to use nvim and using the terminal for everything, but after seeing your lazy git and tmux videos I feel hooked again 😎

I've been using Tmux for a long time but it's nice to learn new tips, great video. @typecraft What terminal software are you using? I like the way the different directories are highlighted in you path prompt.

[@SpaceCatKungFu]

I love this! I want to move to tmux (currently using terminator with starship). I've found the configuration for tmux complicated, and loosing my normal copy/paste with a mouse have been hurdles I haven't made it over. I'm hoping to be a new convert!

[@aarond309]

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

[@silak33]

Wow. That looks like a version of windows terminal that actually works properly

[@Laggedskapari]

can't wait for ep. 2.....Thanks nerd!

[@0xc0ffee_]

I’m really undecided whether to use tmux or some modern terminal emulator… they do offer most of the same features but really cool other ones as well

[@SohamGupta]

As a beginner just starting out to use the terminal which one to hop on and why? NeoVim v/s Tmux?

[@typecraft_dev]

neovim to start. then tmux when you're comfortable with neovim (tmux is a different thing you use WITH neovim)

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.

Remember? It still exists!

[@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.

So at work I use an iMac (or whatever these monitor-is-computer things are called) and a Macbook. I do most of my work on the iMac, but I can't exactly take it with me to a meeting, where I'll use the Macbook. It's sometimes annoying when things aren't in the same state between the two machines. This video gave me the idea to SSH into the iMac from the Macbook... but can I detach from a tmux session on the iMac and then re-attach to it from the MacBook? The section at 4:00 sounds like that should be possible

[@erkanyanar7183]

[@thedeemon]

Modern terminal apps also do all these split windows, tabs and panes. And locally I don't ever need to "detach". So unless you work with remote servers a lot, I really don't see a point.

[@cainux]

I’ve been looking forward to this! iTerm has options for tmux, I have no idea what they do, can you cover those as well please?

[@mediopalodev]

I saw in the video that he is using iTerm2 and asked to explain the difference between that the built in tmux and a manually installed tmux... @typecraft just deleted my comment... 🤷🏻‍♂ it turns out that if you install and use iTerm2 you have already tmux built in.. you can even just call the command tmux and it will start.

[@Macj707]

Powerful Stuff...

[@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.

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.

[@typecraft_dev]

Glad you like the video!! I would still use tmux in Linux but that’s just me

[@rlifts]

@@typecraft_dev will give it a go sometime.

[@Xe054]

I use the kitty terminal which has splitting and tabs, but no persistence. I wish there was a tool that gives me that persistence without the other features of tmux. I'm not a fan of tmux key bindings out the gate. Does such a tool exist?

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? I'm always interested in improving productivity.
