Excellent video, Chuck. It would be worth mentioning the utility named "screen" which existed on UNIX and LINUX for many decades. "screen" was the precursor for modern tool like "tmux".

[@JosephTyson]

@@bw1532 I've used -- and still use -- screen for decades too, avoiding adopting tmux because I already know screen and figured what was the point since they are basically the same thing. Well, I decide on day to really attempt to learn tmux and man, what a game changer! I now use tmux as my local "terminal window manager" and use screen within tmux on remote systems to help me remember screen key sequences and I prefer screen's log capturing capability to tmux. Manipulating windows and panels is so much easier in tmux than screen. Plus, customizing is way easier once you get the hang of it.

[@jesse9999999]

combine with bash scripts for launching certain tmux session setups for certain projects and it's so nice. i just do "p work-react" in my terminal and it opens a tmux session with two windows, one of which is split into 3 panes with various things and the other is a window for neovim text editing. you can get so fast.

[@joaomarcelofurtadoromero8277]

Never seen a single soul fully dived into vim an regretted it. Some people do go back on it, but throught their time using it usually said to have been a great and productive experience. A vim video would be gold man, keep up the good work

[@alargeboat]

nice video Chuck! I think it might be worth mentioning the GNU “screen” command, since screen is another terminal multiplexer that does the same thing, and is included in a bunch of default linux distros. Tmux is definitely better though.

[@supersymun]

Came here for this comment. Thank you.

[@randyriegel8553]

Long time Debian user. First thing I thought was "why do you need tmux when screen does the same thing?" LOL

[@Gearbhall]

You beat me to it. I use screen for this.

[@heh535]

Another plus for screen, it’s lightweight and equally powerful

[@Jniklas2]

The big plus for me is with tmux you have the option to join with multiple pcs/users. So you have a friend/colleague that's logged into the same server as the same user and he can just attach to your session. That's not as easily possible with screen

[@nsontung]

one of the cool features I love in tmux is that I can show my coworker what I'm working/typing on that server. We ssh into the same server and open the same tmux session and he can see what I'm typing in real time.

[@s0litaire2k]

been using tmux when testing things that require daemons running open. each daemon gets it's own pane and i can keep an eye on the outputs or detach and ignore :D

All that convenience comes at a compromised security. If your ssh sessions don't end and keep running then like how you are able to attach to it, a threat actor can do it too. Some people might like sessions to end when they are not working for security reasons.

[@MrCarIgor]

[@McDuffington]

Also great for when you want to send commands to multiple panes, for instance to 20 ssh or serial connections to switches. Use 'set synchronize-panes' to start sending your keys to all panes in the current window

[@sonalita_]

I’m really surprised this wasn’t covered. It’s what got me into tmux when I was learning kubernetes and for educational reasons, built my cluster the hard way from scratch. Using tmux allowed me to have 3 panes each sshed to a node and then I could send all keyboard commands to every pane simultaneously. That for me is the killer feature of tmux.

[@gerardoriveroll7346]

One of the main superpowers of this tool for sure!

[@McDuffington]

@@gerardoriveroll7346 For me its superpowers are its main purpose; working in sessions and panes and the ability to keep sessions running. I work almost exclusively in Tmux and basically use it as an extention to my terminal emulator. For instance working with Tmux panes instead of opening a terminal in Neovim.

[@williamrgrant]

Mind blown

[@lucielcampbell2737]

Not saying it's better or worse but for the record, this can also be done with "cssh" (or "clusterssh") but that's exclusively for that, of course with tmux we can do other things :)

Great Video Chuck! I used to work for a company where an employee would try everything for their ssh-session to stay alive, whilst they were dumping a database. They were astonished when I just tmux'd in, started the dump, detached, logged out of ssh and went home lol! Imagine how many working hours have been wasted like this, as it happened approx about an hour every workday. I used "screen" back then, but tmux is the way to go! If you want to close your panes/windows/sessions, you can just use control+d (or C-d if you like this notation) which perfoms a simple "exit" (or disconnect / logoff) on the current highlighted pane. This is not a tmux command, this works for any (bash) shell. Happy new year coffee-fellows!

Nice tutorial. Nano is rubbish compared to vim. As a seasoned professional (40+ years as a software engineer/devops/architect), I would doubt your expertise if you chose nano over vim. In fact, my feelings on this are so strong, that if I found out during the interview that you prefer nano over vim, I probably wouldn't hire you; at least, the barrier to entry would have been raised so you'd have to really pull a rabbit out of your ass to impress me after a mistake like that. TBH, I do watch some of your content (this tmux one was great until you pulled up nano), but I haven't subscribed for two reasons, one of which is that you use nano. The other is that you promote the use of vmware, but that's for a different rant ;)

[@chunkeydelight]

I learned about the 'screen' command years ago, solely for the purpose of running a script or command while I'm out on the road and needing to not kill it before traveling to a new destination. But then I NEVER realized the command had all of these functions and capabilities until I started to watch this video. As soon as I heard you need to 'disconnect from the session' it dawned on me... "This sounds awfully familiar to that 'screen' command" I immediately went to the man pages for 'screen' and discovered... This 'tmux' is just utilizing 'screen' and making it WAY easier to navigate and control. Thank you for simplifying this for us, because I don't think I would've made this discovery without the quick and easy-to-follow video.

I agree! I think tmux should be learned right now! tmux is awesome!

[@robonator2945]

Even if you never want to learn tmux, just knowing about it can really save your ass. I setup my main computer at home for SSH remote access along with installing a dedicated remote desktop client. Since I don't want to expose my main home computer directly to the internet, I used a VPN to share a network with it. (VPN as in Tailscale, Hamachi, Zerotier, etc. not as in Nord) Unfortunately, that service broke on me. Well, crap, but no big deal right, I installed that remote desktop client? Well, I typically run wayland and, while I do have x11 setup, I don't really give it much care, so for some reason the remote desktop software also wouldn't connect properly. So, what? I'm just locked out? Well yes but actually no. See, while my remote desktop software was dodgy and couldn't get a real remote desktop connection, it *_could_* get *_A_* connection, just not a reliable one. It also had a nice simple GUI option for creating TCP tunnels, so I sorta just tunneled some random port from my local host to my home computer's port 22 and sshed into myself. Yeah, it's janky as hell, but sure enough, if I TCP tunneled port 22 from my home computer onto my local computer I could get a fully functional ssh connection. Unfortunately, it was still dodgy and the connection would break occasionally. But, I knew tmux sessions were persistent, so even though I don't really use tmux much I installed it and started a tmux session. Then, within that tmux session, I used a commandline tool for transfering files using the magic-wormhole protocol and generated a send code, which I could then recieve on my local machine. Since tmux is persistent that file transfer worked even when the TCP tunnel closed and I lost my SSH connection. In other words, just use linode as a proxy or something my god it is not worth the effort to try to use tons of interconnected services to just access your home resources. edit : also, for that vim video, I'd suggest looking at something like Lazyvim. Building your config from scratch has it's perks, but I went from not knowing any vim at all to being productive *_enough_* with it in the course of just a few hours with lazyvim. (and a few tutorials, obviously)

[@BlizzetaNet]

I've abused tmux over the years. I've found rebinding to c-a instead of c-b makes it way easier to manage. Also, get your dotfiles in order so you can be familiar across your stations.

[@sutirk]

I used to use c-a too, but I've found that using C-Space is just as manageable, and it doesn't stray too far off the default key binding, in case you ever need to use vanilla tmux on a random server that you don't have your dotfiles

[@JosephTyson]

I use C-s as my prefix key in my local terminal tmux because I also use screen (& tmux) on remote sessions within my local tmux.

[@JoeyGarcia]

It's been awhile since I've used screen, but isn't Ctrl-A the screen command?

[@BlizzetaNet]

@JoeyGarcia yes, which is why I use it. Like I said, it's easier to manage. What I left out was it is for me. I'm not the kind of guy that will screen in a tmux session, so both will be familiar to me when I use either.

@@BlizzetaNet makes sense! When I first switched from screen to tmux, it took me a while to get adjusted to it. If you keep switching back and forth, then keeping things consistent is helpful.

"nano, the best editor in the world" lmao

[@misterkite]

I've been using tmux for a while.. but no one seems to use it the way I do. One, I have my terminal set up to automatically create a new session targeting "main" (tmux new -t main). What this does is allow you to have multiple terminals open, all viewing the same tmux session, but allowing each terminal to focus on a different tmux window. This gives me the same control you have over your split panes.. but now I can move a pane onto a different virtual desktop.. or different monitor. I never need to split a tmux window because I have half a dozen real terminal windows open and can move them around how I want them. Finally, the fastest way to change which window is in focus is "ctl-b #" where # is the number of the window

[@rolandcucicea6006]

I just got into it after seeing the primagen's setup and the one screen at a time mentality with super fast switching between sessions. It blew my mind. I often work in the same folders and span nvim but with tmux I can just leave it open in the background and be right in, plus I'm editing different files at a time, even tho telescope is great in nvim, tmux is much faster and not losing the progress is priceless. You can always be exactly where you left off in previous sessions

[@onlySICO]

I stopped using screen years ago -- it was too instable. tmux is very stable and it gets the job done -- no more "dumped cores" as with screen.

[@idahofur]

I was trying to think about the command before tmux. Though I can't remember if screen allowed multiple windows on your display. But, I do know years ago. (never got it to work.) A person wrote a windows? section monitor to split up sessions like on a ibm as/400 console. So you had like 6 screens open at once in front of you.

The only thing I really didn't like about tmux was that I had a hard time scrolling stuff, I end up entering copy mode to scroll

[@SpooningTreesap86]

The other day I was thinking to myself at work, wow I really hate manually opening up my terminal every time I boot up and manually starting 3 different panes/servers. Was looking into just making a shell script to kick them off but this is even better because I can just resume sessions

[@VaibhavShewale]

first i thought you were talking about termux

[@lileightright]

neovim+tmux+yabai+skhd = best development environment ever. NeoVim is a modern, feature-rich text editor and a fork of the Vim editor. Tmux stands for "terminal multiplexer". Yabai is a tiling window manager for macOS. Skhd is a simple hotkey daemon for macOS.

[@darkjo4335]

So you use tmux to manage multiple terminal session in the same window ? If it’s so, why no use multiple window with each one that represent a terminal session that you can manage with yabai ?

[@lileightright]

​@@darkjo4335 Yabai manages apps like Chrome and other generals apps, while Tmux handles my Neovim windows thats running on the terminal. For instance, I can have one Tmux window for frontend code and another for backend. Yabai ensures Chrome stays open, while Tmux assists in switching between the code windows.

[@lileightright]

@@darkjo4335 Yes, you're correct. While I can use multiple iTerm windows, the advantage of tmux is its ability to manage various tasks within a single window. This includes splitting and resizing panes, which is particularly useful when using Neovim. You can have one pane dedicated to the text editor and several others for terminals, all controlled seamlessly with tmux keybindings. you can check this video to see why tmux really good with nvim. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i17SnnSCjK51pdU&pp=ygUKam9zZW4gdHVteA%3D%3D

Great video. Infotainment at its finest. I used the heck out of tmux in the past for some projects but not in a while. Excellent refresher, thanks.

[@aryajpegasus]

I LOVE YOU FOR THIS. this video is what was the final push for me to try nvim which I couldn't till now because I need other terminals open w/ me. this video is awesome. tmux is awesome. 10/10!

[@IzumiItachi-yh5vf]

I am first comment ❤

[@Redyf]

Can you make a video about NixOS? It's a great declarative linux distro for servers and desktops

[@haotianhang3997]

What is tmux's advantage comparing to screen?

[@WA4OSH]

I think being able to name windows is really good. It's hard for me to remember 0, 1, 2 versus names like router switch stats, etc. Screen didn't let you detach from sessions. This is very useful when you need to switch from a Linux to a Windows machine for certain admin functions.

[@haotianhang3997]

@@WA4OSH screen definitely has the capability of naming and detachment, I'm using them daily. But I'm not sure about windows machine.

[@WA4OSH]

@@haotianhang3997 OK .. I missed the screen naming feature on screen. I will look into it. I sometimes need to put everything on hold and run apps on a windows machine. Sadly, TMUX is not supported on Windows, nor would the sessions make any sense on the Windows machine. But you can SSH from the Windows machine back to where you put your session on hold.

[@TristanJVShow]

I love using TMUX. I have 3 main windows on my mine. One for btop, to keep an eye on my hardware usage. One for docker, to see what is currently running, stats and run docker command. And the last one for my Syncthing/rclone logs. You need to talk about plugins. I used resurrect to save and restore my session if I need to reboot. I liked a lot you videos! Keep going! Love from France!

[@CodingHk]

Guys just 👍 👇

[@DasPuppy]

I've been using screen - but it doesn't remember the panes. At least as far as I am aware when I connect from a different machine or new ssh session.. might actually look into this just because the panes are so handy

[@Tntdruid]

Been using it for yesr years now 😂

[@licokr]

Crazy, thank you for introducing the all the commands. Easy to understand and I'll be installing tmux right now

[@sthembisomsimango]

Never disappoints, as an 18 yr old studying Computer Science and tryna get into Cyber security, I am learning a lot from u man, keep up the good work❤

[@steschtec2051]

seems like "screen" under linux?

[@SnowDaemon]

There are many reasons I use Linux instead of Windows, but Tmux is probably the #1 reason.

[@WA4OSH]

Is there a Powershell equivalent? Some people go as far as installing TMUX on WSL for windows :D

[@SnowDaemon]

Using WSL is the only way i know how to do the equivelant on WIndows. There is not (to my knowledge) an equivalent in Powershell or Windows in general.@@WA4OSH

[@PriestApostate]

Thanks for this video! This is WAY more useful than the man page (which totaled to an extremely dry 70+ pages)! I also LOVED how you showed the key presses, as I have been struggling with the keyboard combos since learning about this application! But did you have to do Harambe like that (#stilltoosoon)?

[@ivokuzov1]

I want to know which Screen Annotation Tool are you using. It is so smooth. Non of the others I know works so well as yours. Reveal your secret please :) :)

[@tux9656]

I've been using screen because tmux always looked too complicated, but this really simplified it for me. I think I'll use tmux going forward. Thanks!

[@Hawlkeye-e9p]

Bs. Already learned vm's, proxmox, pihole, tmux, and a hand full of other technologies while being a+, sql, pmp, psm II, Itil v4, certified with handheld to data center hardware. AND NO JOB. this economy fkn suks bad. Real bad

[@KadekRegen]

why dont just use screen?

[@zamap4278]

This is perfect, I'm going through an ethical hacking course and this just made things so much easier! Panes are all I wanted but knowing I can incorporate Vim movements and a copy mode like this is an added bonus! I'm never leaving the terminal now

[@JoeX92]

I'm actually wondering why did you take so long to make this video? I've been using Tmux for years!

[@jonathanp906]

Great video! Been using tmux just for detach/attaching sessions, but didn't know about copy mode! That will be useful! You'd love vim, its great.
