DESCRIPTION¶
tmux
is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a
number of terminals to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single
screen.
tmux
may be detached from a screen
and continue running in the background, then later reattached.
When
tmux
is started it creates a new
session with a single
window and displays it on screen. A status line
at the bottom of the screen shows information on the current session and is
used to enter interactive commands.
A session is a single collection of
pseudo
terminals under the management of
tmux
.
Each session has one or more windows linked to it. A window occupies the
entire screen and may be split into rectangular panes, each of which is a
separate pseudo terminal (the
pty(4) manual page
documents the technical details of pseudo terminals). Any number of
tmux
instances may connect to the same
session, and any number of windows may be present in the same session. Once
all sessions are killed,
tmux
exits.
Each session is persistent and will survive accidental disconnection (such as
ssh(1) connection timeout) or intentional
detaching (with the ‘
C-b d
’ key
strokes).
tmux
may be reattached using:
$ tmux attach
In
tmux
, a session is displayed on screen by
a
client and all sessions are managed by a single
server. The server and each client are separate
processes which communicate through a socket in
/tmp.
The options are as follows:
-2
- Force
tmux
to assume the terminal
supports 256 colours.
-C
- Start in control mode (see the
CONTROL MODE section).
Given twice (
-CC
) disables echo.
-c
shell-command
- Execute shell-command using the default
shell. If necessary, the
tmux
server
will be started to retrieve the
default-shell
option. This option is
for compatibility with sh(1) when
tmux
is used as a login shell.
-f
file
- Specify an alternative configuration file. By default,
tmux
loads the system configuration
file from /etc/tmux.conf, if present,
then looks for a user configuration file at
~/.tmux.conf.
The configuration file is a set of tmux
commands which are executed in sequence when the server is first started.
tmux
loads configuration files once
when the server process has started. The
source-file
command may be used to load
a file later.
tmux
shows any error messages from
commands in configuration files in the first session created, and
continues to process the rest of the configuration file.
-L
socket-name
tmux
stores the server socket in a
directory under TMUX_TMPDIR
or
/tmp if it is unset. The default socket
is named default. This option allows a
different socket name to be specified, allowing several independent
tmux
servers to be run. Unlike
-S
a full path is not necessary: the
sockets are all created in the same directory.
If the socket is accidentally removed, the
SIGUSR1
signal may be sent to the
tmux
server process to recreate it
(note that this will fail if any parent directories are missing).
-l
- Behave as a login shell. This flag currently has no effect and is for
compatibility with other shells when using tmux as a login shell.
-S
socket-path
- Specify a full alternative path to the server socket. If
-S
is specified, the default socket
directory is not used and any -L
flag
is ignored.
-u
tmux
attempts to guess if the terminal
is likely to support UTF-8 by checking the first of the
LC_ALL
,
LC_CTYPE
and
LANG
environment variables to be set
for the string "UTF-8". This is not always correct: the
-u
flag explicitly informs
tmux
that UTF-8 is supported.
Note that tmux
itself always accepts
UTF-8; this controls whether it will send UTF-8 characters to the terminal
it is running (if not, they are replaced by
‘_
’).
-v
- Request verbose logging. This option may be specified multiple times for
increasing verbosity. Log messages will be saved into
tmux-client-PID.log and
tmux-server-PID.log files in the
current directory, where PID is the PID of
the server or client process.
-V
- Report the
tmux
version.
- command
[
flags
]
- This specifies one of a set of commands used to control
tmux
, as described in the following
sections. If no commands are specified, the
new-session
command is assumed.
KEY BINDINGS¶
tmux
may be controlled from an attached
client by using a key combination of a prefix key,
‘
C-b
’ (Ctrl-b) by default, followed by a
command key.
The default command key bindings are:
- C-b
- Send the prefix key (C-b) through to the application.

COMMANDS¶
This section contains a list of the commands supported by
tmux
. Most commands accept the optional
-t
(and sometimes
-s
) argument with one of
target-client,
target-session
target-window, or
target-pane. These specify the client,
session, window or pane which a command should affect.
target-client is the name of the
pty(4) file to which the client is connected, for
example either of
/dev/ttyp1 or
ttyp1 for the client attached to
/dev/ttyp1. If no client is specified,
tmux
attempts to work out the client
currently in use; if that fails, an error is reported. Clients may be listed
with the
list-clients
command.
target-session is tried as, in order:
- A session ID prefixed with a $.
- An exact name of a session (as listed by the
list-sessions
command).
- The start of a session name, for example
‘
mysess
’ would match a session named
‘mysession
’.
- An fnmatch(3) pattern which is matched
against the session name.
If the session name is prefixed with an
‘
=
’, only an exact match is accepted (so
‘
=mysess
’ will only match exactly
‘
mysess
’, not
‘
mysession
’).
If a single session is found, it is used as the target session; multiple matches
produce an error. If a session is omitted, the current session is used if
available; if no current session is available, the most recently used is
chosen.
target-window (or
src-window or
dst-window) specifies a window in the form
session:
window.
session follows the same rules as for
target-session, and
window is looked for in order as:
- A special token, listed below.
- A window index, for example
‘
mysession:1
’ is window 1 in session
‘mysession
’.
- A window ID, such as @1.
- An exact window name, such as
‘
mysession:mywindow
’.
- The start of a window name, such as
‘
mysession:mywin
’.
- As an fnmatch(3) pattern matched against the
window name.
Like sessions, a ‘
=
’ prefix will do an
exact match only. An empty window name specifies the next unused index if
appropriate (for example the
new-window
and
link-window
commands) otherwise the current
window in
session is chosen.
The following special tokens are available to indicate particular windows. Each
has a single-character alternative form.
Token |
|
Meaning |
{start} |
^ |
The lowest-numbered window |
{end} |
$ |
The highest-numbered window |
{last} |
! |
The last (previously current) window |
{next} |
+ |
The next window by number |
{previous} |
- |
The previous window by number |
target-pane (or
src-pane or
dst-pane) may be a pane ID or takes a similar
form to
target-window but with the optional
addition of a period followed by a pane index or pane ID, for example:
‘
mysession:mywindow.1
’. If the pane
index is omitted, the currently active pane in the specified window is used.
The following special tokens are available for the pane index:
The tokens ‘
+
’ and
‘
-
’ may be followed by an offset, for
example:
In addition,
target-session,
target-window or
target-pane may consist entirely of the token
‘
{mouse}
’ (alternative form
‘
=
’) to specify the most recent mouse
event (see the
MOUSE
SUPPORT section) or ‘
{marked}
’
(alternative form ‘
~
’) to specify the
marked pane (see
select-pane
-m
).
Sessions, window and panes are each numbered with a unique ID; session IDs are
prefixed with a ‘
$
’, windows with a
‘
@
’, and panes with a
‘
%
’. These are unique and are unchanged
for the life of the session, window or pane in the
tmux
server. The pane ID is passed to the
child process of the pane in the
TMUX_PANE
environment variable. IDs may be displayed using the
‘
session_id
’,
‘
window_id
’, or
‘
pane_id
’ formats (see the
FORMATS section) and the
display-message
,
list-sessions
,
list-windows
or
list-panes
commands.
shell-command arguments are
sh(1) commands. This may be a single argument
passed to the shell, for example:
new-window 'vi /etc/passwd'
Will run:
/bin/sh -c 'vi /etc/passwd'
Additionally, the
new-window
,
new-session
,
split-window
,
respawn-window
and
respawn-pane
commands allow
shell-command to be given as multiple
arguments and executed directly (without ‘
sh
-c
’). This can avoid issues with shell quoting. For example:
$ tmux new-window vi /etc/passwd
Will run
vi(1) directly without invoking the shell.
command
[
arguments
] refers to a
tmux
command, passed with the command and
arguments separately, for example:
bind-key F1 set-window-option force-width 81
Or if using
sh(1):
$ tmux bind-key F1 set-window-option force-width 81
Multiple commands may be specified together as part of a
command sequence. Each command should be
separated by spaces and a semicolon; commands are executed sequentially from
left to right and lines ending with a backslash continue on to the next line,
except when escaped by another backslash. A literal semicolon may be included
by escaping it with a backslash (for example, when specifying a command
sequence to
bind-key
).
Example
tmux
commands include:
refresh-client -t/dev/ttyp2
rename-session -tfirst newname
set-window-option -t:0 monitor-activity on
new-window ; split-window -d
bind-key R source-file ~/.tmux.conf \; \
display-message "source-file done"
Or from
sh(1):
$ tmux kill-window -t :1
$ tmux new-window \; split-window -d
$ tmux new-session -d 'vi /etc/passwd' \; split-window -d \; attach
CLIENTS AND SESSIONS¶
The
tmux
server manages clients, sessions,
windows and panes. Clients are attached to sessions to interact with them,
either when they are created with the
new-session
command, or later with the
attach-session
command. Each session has
one or more windows
linked into it. Windows may
be linked to multiple sessions and are made up of one or more panes, each of
which contains a pseudo terminal. Commands for creating, linking and otherwise
manipulating windows are covered in the
WINDOWS AND PANES
section.
The following commands are available to manage clients and sessions:
attach-session
[-dEr
]
[-c
working-directory
]
[-t
target-session
]
-
(alias:
attach
)
If run from outside tmux
, create a new
client in the current terminal and attach it to
target-session. If used from inside,
switch the current client. If -d
is
specified, any other clients attached to the session are detached.
-r
signifies the client is read-only
(only keys bound to the detach-client
or switch-client
commands have any
effect)
If no server is started, attach-session
will attempt to start it; this will fail unless sessions are created in
the configuration file.
The target-session rules for
attach-session
are slightly adjusted:
if tmux
needs to select the most
recently used session, it will prefer the most recently used
unattached session.
-c
will set the session working directory
(used for new windows) to
working-directory.
If -E
is used, the
update-environment
option will not be
applied.
detach-client
[-aP
]
[-s
target-session
]
[-t
target-client
]
-
(alias:
detach
)
Detach the current client if bound to a key, the client specified with
-t
, or all clients currently attached
to the session specified by -s
. The
-a
option kills all but the client
given with -t
. If
-P
is given, send SIGHUP to the parent
process of the client, typically causing it to exit.
has-session
[-t
target-session
]
-
(alias:
has
)
Report an error and exit with 1 if the specified session does not exist. If
it does exist, exit with 0.
kill-server
- Kill the
tmux
server and clients and
destroy all sessions.
kill-session
[-aC
]
[-t
target-session
]
- Destroy the given session, closing any windows linked to it and no other
sessions, and detaching all clients attached to it. If
-a
is given, all sessions but the
specified one is killed. The -C
flag
clears alerts (bell, activity, or silence) in all windows linked to the
session.
list-clients
[-F
format
]
[-t
target-session
]
-
(alias:
lsc
)
List all clients attached to the server. For the meaning of the
-F
flag, see the
FORMATS section. If
target-session is specified, list only
clients connected to that session.
list-commands
[-F
format
]
-
(alias:
lscm
)
List the syntax of all commands supported by
tmux
.
list-sessions
[-F
format
]
-
(alias:
ls
)
List all sessions managed by the server. For the meaning of the
-F
flag, see the
FORMATS section.
lock-client
[-t
target-client
]
-
(alias:
lockc
)
Lock target-client, see the
lock-server
command.
lock-session
[-t
target-session
]
-
(alias:
locks
)
Lock all clients attached to
target-session.
new-session
[-AdDEP
]
[-c
start-directory
]
[-F
format
]
[-n
window-name
]
[-s
session-name
]
[-t
target-session
]
[-x
width
]
[-y
height
]
[shell-command
]
-
(alias:
new
)
Create a new session with name
session-name.
The new session is attached to the current terminal unless
-d
is given.
window-name and
shell-command are the name of and shell
command to execute in the initial window. If
-d
is used,
-x
and
-y
specify the size of the initial
window (80 by 24 if not given).
If run from a terminal, any termios(4) special
characters are saved and used for new windows in the new session.
The -A
flag makes
new-session
behave like
attach-session
if
session-name already exists; in this
case, -D
behaves like
-d
to
attach-session
.
If -t
is given, the new session is
grouped with
target-session. This means they share the
same set of windows - all windows from
target-session are linked to the new
session, any new windows are linked to both sessions and any windows
closed removed from both sessions. The current and previous window and any
session options remain independent and either session may be killed
without affecting the other. -n
and
shell-command are invalid if
-t
is used.
The -P
option prints information about
the new session after it has been created. By default, it uses the format
‘#{session_name}:
’ but a different
format may be specified with -F
.
If -E
is used, the
update-environment
option will not be
applied.
refresh-client
[-S
]
[-t
target-client
]
-
(alias:
refresh
)
Refresh the current client if bound to a key, or a single client if one is
given with -t
. If
-S
is specified, only update the
client's status bar.
rename-session
[-t
target-session
]
new-name
-
(alias:
rename
)
Rename the session to new-name.
show-messages
[-JT
]
[-t
target-client
]
-
(alias:
showmsgs
)
Show client messages or server information. Any messages displayed on the
status line are saved in a per-client message log, up to a maximum of the
limit set by the message-limit server
option. With -t
, display the log for
target-client.
-J
and
-T
show debugging information about
jobs and terminals.
source-file
[-q
]
path
-
(alias:
source
)
Execute commands from path. If
-q
is given, no error will be returned
if path does not exist.
start-server
-
(alias:
start
)
Start the tmux
server, if not already
running, without creating any sessions.
suspend-client
[-t
target-client
]
-
(alias:
suspendc
)
Suspend a client by sending SIGTSTP
(tty
stop).
switch-client
[-Elnpr
]
[-c
target-client
]
[-t
target-session
]
[-T
key-table
]
-
(alias:
switchc
)
Switch the current session for client
target-client to
target-session. If
-l
,
-n
or
-p
is used, the client is moved to the
last, next or previous session respectively.
-r
toggles whether a client is
read-only (see the attach-session
command).
If -E
is used,
update-environment
option will not be
applied.
-T
sets the client's key table; the next
key from the client will be interpreted from
key-table. This may be used to configure
multiple prefix keys, or to bind commands to sequences of keys. For
example, to make typing ‘abc
’ run
the list-keys
command:
bind-key -Ttable2 c list-keys
bind-key -Ttable1 b switch-client -Ttable2
bind-key -Troot a switch-client -Ttable1
WINDOWS AND PANES¶
A
tmux
window may be in one of two modes. The
default permits direct access to the terminal attached to the window. The
other is copy mode, which permits a section of a window or its history to be
copied to a
paste buffer for later insertion into
another window. This mode is entered with the
copy-mode
command, bound to
‘
[
’ by default. It is also entered when
a command that produces output, such as
list-keys
, is executed from a key binding.
The keys available depend on whether emacs or vi mode is selected (see the
mode-keys
option). The following keys are
supported as appropriate for the mode:
The next and previous word keys use space and the
‘
-
’,
‘
_
’ and
‘
@
’ characters as word delimiters by
default, but this can be adjusted by setting the
word-separators session option. Next word moves
to the start of the next word, next word end to the end of the next word and
previous word to the start of the previous word. The three next and previous
space keys work similarly but use a space alone as the word separator.
The jump commands enable quick movement within a line. For instance, typing
‘
f
’ followed by
‘
/
’ will move the cursor to the next
‘
/
’ character on the current line. A
‘
;
’ will then jump to the next
occurrence.
Commands in copy mode may be prefaced by an optional repeat count. With vi key
bindings, a prefix is entered using the number keys; with emacs, the Alt
(meta) key and a number begins prefix entry. For example, to move the cursor
forward by ten words, use ‘
M-1 0 M-f
’ in
emacs mode, and ‘
10w
’ in vi.
Mode key bindings are defined in a set of named tables:
vi-edit and
emacs-edit for keys used when line editing at the
command prompt;
vi-choice and
emacs-choice for keys used when choosing from
lists (such as produced by the
choose-window
command); and
vi-copy and
emacs-copy used in copy mode. The tables may be
viewed with the
list-keys
command and keys
modified or removed with
bind-key
and
unbind-key
. If
append-selection
,
copy-selection
, or
start-named-buffer
are given the
-x
flag,
tmux
will not exit copy mode after copying.
copy-pipe
copies the selection and pipes it
to a command. For example the following will bind
‘
C-w
’ not to exit after copying and
‘
C-q
’ to copy the selection into
/tmp as well as the paste buffer:
bind-key -temacs-copy C-w copy-selection -x
bind-key -temacs-copy C-q copy-pipe "cat >/tmp/out"
The paste buffer key pastes the first line from the top paste buffer on the
stack.
The synopsis for the
copy-mode
command is:
copy-mode
[-Meu
]
[-t
target-pane
]
- Enter copy mode. The
-u
option scrolls
one page up. -M
begins a mouse drag
(only valid if bound to a mouse key binding, see
MOUSE SUPPORT).
-e
specifies that scrolling to the
bottom of the history (to the visible screen) should exit copy mode. While
in copy mode, pressing a key other than those used for scrolling will
disable this behaviour. This is intended to allow fast scrolling through a
pane's history, for example with:
bind PageUp copy-mode -eu
Each window displayed by
tmux
may be split
into one or more
panes; each pane takes up a
certain area of the display and is a separate terminal. A window may be split
into panes using the
split-window
command.
Windows may be split horizontally (with the
-h
flag) or vertically. Panes may be
resized with the
resize-pane
command (bound
to ‘
C-up
’,
‘
C-down
’
‘
C-left
’ and
‘
C-right
’ by default), the current pane
may be changed with the
select-pane
command
and the
rotate-window
and
swap-pane
commands may be used to swap
panes without changing their position. Panes are numbered beginning from zero
in the order they are created.
A number of preset
layouts are available. These may
be selected with the
select-layout
command
or cycled with
next-layout
(bound to
‘
Space
’ by default); once a layout is
chosen, panes within it may be moved and resized as normal.
The following layouts are supported:
even-horizontal
- Panes are spread out evenly from left to right across the window.
even-vertical
- Panes are spread evenly from top to bottom.
main-horizontal
- A large (main) pane is shown at the top of the window and the remaining
panes are spread from left to right in the leftover space at the bottom.
Use the main-pane-height window option to
specify the height of the top pane.
main-vertical
- Similar to
main-horizontal
but the
large pane is placed on the left and the others spread from top to bottom
along the right. See the main-pane-width
window option.
tiled
- Panes are spread out as evenly as possible over the window in both rows
and columns.
In addition,
select-layout
may be used to
apply a previously used layout - the
list-windows
command displays the layout of
each window in a form suitable for use with
select-layout
. For example:
$ tmux list-windows
0: ksh [159x48]
layout: bb62,159x48,0,0{79x48,0,0,79x48,80,0}
$ tmux select-layout bb62,159x48,0,0{79x48,0,0,79x48,80,0}
tmux
automatically adjusts the size of the
layout for the current window size. Note that a layout cannot be applied to a
window with more panes than that from which the layout was originally defined.
Commands related to windows and panes are as follows:
break-pane
[-dP
]
[-F
format
]
[-s
src-pane
]
[-t
dst-window
]
-
(alias:
breakp
)
Break src-pane off from its containing
window to make it the only pane in
dst-window. If
-d
is given, the new window does not
become the current window. The -P
option prints information about the new window after it has been created.
By default, it uses the format
‘#{session_name}:#{window_index}
’
but a different format may be specified with
-F
.
capture-pane
[-aepPq
]
[-b
buffer-name
]
[-E
end-line
]
[-S
start-line
]
[-t
target-pane
]
-
(alias:
capturep
)
Capture the contents of a pane. If -p
is
given, the output goes to stdout, otherwise to the buffer specified with
-b
or a new buffer if omitted. If
-a
is given, the alternate screen is
used, and the history is not accessible. If no alternate screen exists, an
error will be returned unless -q
is
given. If -e
is given, the output
includes escape sequences for text and background attributes.
-C
also escapes non-printable
characters as octal \xxx. -J
joins
wrapped lines and preserves trailing spaces at each line's end.
-P
captures only any output that the
pane has received that is the beginning of an as-yet incomplete escape
sequence.
-S
and
-E
specify the starting and ending line
numbers, zero is the first line of the visible pane and negative numbers
are lines in the history. ‘-
’ to
-S
is the start of the history and to
-E
the end of the visible pane. The
default is to capture only the visible contents of the pane.
choose-client
[-F
format
]
[-t
target-window
]
[template
]
- Put a window into client choice mode, allowing a client to be selected
interactively from a list. After a client is chosen,
‘
%%
’ is replaced by the client
pty(4) path in
template and the result executed as a
command. If template is not given,
"detach-client -t '%%'" is used. For the meaning of the
-F
flag, see the
FORMATS section. This command
works only if at least one client is attached.
choose-session
[-F
format
]
[-t
target-window
]
[template
]
- Put a window into session choice mode, where a session may be selected
interactively from a list. When one is chosen,
‘
%%
’ is replaced by the session name
in template and the result executed as a
command. If template is not given,
"switch-client -t '%%'" is used. For the meaning of the
-F
flag, see the
FORMATS section. This command
works only if at least one client is attached.
choose-tree
[-suw
]
[-b
session-template
]
[-c
window-template
]
[-S
format
]
[-W
format
]
[-t
target-window
]
- Put a window into tree choice mode, where either sessions or windows may
be selected interactively from a list. By default, windows belonging to a
session are indented to show their relationship to a session.
Note that the
choose-window
and
choose-session
commands are wrappers
around choose-tree
.
If -s
is given, will show sessions. If
-w
is given, will show windows.
By default, the tree is collapsed and sessions must be expanded to windows
with the right arrow key. The -u
option
will start with all sessions expanded instead.
If -b
is given, will override the default
session command. Note that ‘%%
’ can
be used and will be replaced with the session name. The default option if
not specified is "switch-client -t '%%'". If
-c
is given, will override the default
window command. Like -b
,
‘%%
’ can be used and will be
replaced with the session name and window index. When a window is chosen
from the list, the session command is run before the window command.
If -S
is given will display the specified
format instead of the default session format. If
-W
is given will display the specified
format instead of the default window format. For the meaning of the
-s
and
-w
options, see the
FORMATS section.
This command works only if at least one client is attached.
choose-window
[-F
format
]
[-t
target-window
]
[template
]
- Put a window into window choice mode, where a window may be chosen
interactively from a list. After a window is selected,
‘
%%
’ is replaced by the session name
and window index in template and the
result executed as a command. If template
is not given, "select-window -t '%%'" is used. For the meaning
of the -F
flag, see the
FORMATS section. This command
works only if at least one client is attached.
display-panes
[-t
target-client
]
[template
]
-
(alias:
displayp
)
Display a visible indicator of each pane shown by
target-client. See the
display-panes-time
,
display-panes-colour
, and
display-panes-active-colour
session
options. While the indicator is on screen, a pane may be chosen with the
‘0
’ to
‘9
’ keys, which will cause
template to be executed as a command with
‘%%
’ substituted by the pane ID. The
default template is "select-pane -t
'%%'".
find-window
[-CNT
]
[-F
format
]
[-t
target-window
]
match-string
-
(alias:
findw
)
Search for the fnmatch(3) pattern
match-string in window names, titles, and
visible content (but not history). The flags control matching behavior:
-C
matches only visible window
contents, -N
matches only the window
name and -T
matches only the window
title. The default is -CNT
. If only one
window is matched, it'll be automatically selected, otherwise a choice
list is shown. For the meaning of the
-F
flag, see the
FORMATS section. This command
works only if at least one client is attached.
join-pane
[-bdhv
]
[-l
size |
-p
percentage
]
[-s
src-pane
]
[-t
dst-pane
]
-
(alias:
joinp
)
Like split-window
, but instead of
splitting dst-pane and creating a new
pane, split it and move src-pane into the
space. This can be used to reverse
break-pane
. The
-b
option causes
src-pane to be joined to left of or above
dst-pane.
If -s
is omitted and a marked pane is
present (see select-pane
-m
), the marked pane is used rather
than the current pane.
kill-pane
[-a
]
[-t
target-pane
]
-
(alias:
killp
)
Destroy the given pane. If no panes remain in the containing window, it is
also destroyed. The -a
option kills all
but the pane given with -t
.
kill-window
[-a
]
[-t
target-window
]
-
(alias:
killw
)
Kill the current window or the window at
target-window, removing it from any
sessions to which it is linked. The -a
option kills all but the window given with
-t
.
last-pane
[-de
]
[-t
target-window
]
-
(alias:
lastp
)
Select the last (previously selected) pane.
-e
enables or
-d
disables input to the pane.
last-window
[-t
target-session
]
-
(alias:
last
)
Select the last (previously selected) window. If no
target-session is specified, select the
last window of the current session.
link-window
[-adk
]
[-s
src-window
]
[-t
dst-window
]
-
(alias:
linkw
)
Link the window at src-window to the
specified dst-window. If
dst-window is specified and no such
window exists, the src-window is linked
there. With -a
, the window is moved to
the next index up (following windows are moved if necessary). If
-k
is given and
dst-window exists, it is killed,
otherwise an error is generated. If -d
is given, the newly linked window is not selected.
list-panes
[-as
]
[-F
format
]
[-t
target
]
-
(alias:
lsp
)
If -a
is given,
target is ignored and all panes on the
server are listed. If -s
is given,
target is a session (or the current
session). If neither is given, target is
a window (or the current window). For the meaning of the
-F
flag, see the
FORMATS section.
list-windows
[-a
]
[-F
format
]
[-t
target-session
]
-
(alias:
lsw
)
If -a
is given, list all windows on the
server. Otherwise, list windows in the current session or in
target-session. For the meaning of the
-F
flag, see the
FORMATS section.
move-pane
[-bdhv
]
[-l
size |
-p
percentage
]
[-s
src-pane
]
[-t
dst-pane
]
-
(alias:
movep
)
Like join-pane
, but
src-pane and
dst-pane may belong to the same
window.
move-window
[-ardk
]
[-s
src-window
]
[-t
dst-window
]
-
(alias:
movew
)
This is similar to link-window
, except
the window at src-window is moved to
dst-window. With
-r
, all windows in the session are
renumbered in sequential order, respecting the
base-index
option.
new-window
[-adkP
]
[-c
start-directory
]
[-F
format
]
[-n
window-name
]
[-t
target-window
]
[shell-command
]
-
(alias:
neww
)
Create a new window. With -a
, the new
window is inserted at the next index up from the specified
target-window, moving windows up if
necessary, otherwise target-window is the
new window location.
If -d
is given, the session does not make
the new window the current window.
target-window represents the window to be
created; if the target already exists an error is shown, unless the
-k
flag is used, in which case it is
destroyed. shell-command is the command
to execute. If shell-command is not
specified, the value of the
default-command
option is used.
-c
specifies the working directory in
which the new window is created.
When the shell command completes, the window closes. See the
remain-on-exit
option to change this
behaviour.
The TERM
environment variable must be set
to “screen” for all programs running
inside
tmux
. New windows will automatically
have “TERM=screen” added to their environment, but care must
be taken not to reset this in shell start-up files.
The -P
option prints information about
the new window after it has been created. By default, it uses the format
‘#{session_name}:#{window_index}
’
but a different format may be specified with
-F
.
next-layout
[-t
target-window
]
-
(alias:
nextl
)
Move a window to the next layout and rearrange the panes to fit.
next-window
[-a
]
[-t
target-session
]
-
(alias:
next
)
Move to the next window in the session. If
-a
is used, move to the next window
with an alert.
pipe-pane
[-o
]
[-t
target-pane
]
[shell-command
]
-
(alias:
pipep
)
Pipe any output sent by the program in
target-pane to a shell command. A pane
may only be piped to one command at a time, any existing pipe is closed
before shell-command is executed. The
shell-command string may contain the
special character sequences supported by the
status-left
option. If no
shell-command is given, the current pipe
(if any) is closed.
The -o
option only opens a new pipe if no
previous pipe exists, allowing a pipe to be toggled with a single key, for
example:
bind-key C-p pipe-pane -o 'cat >>~/output.#I-#P'
previous-layout
[-t
target-window
]
-
(alias:
prevl
)
Move to the previous layout in the session.
previous-window
[-a
]
[-t
target-session
]
-
(alias:
prev
)
Move to the previous window in the session. With
-a
, move to the previous window with an
alert.
rename-window
[-t
target-window
]
new-name
-
(alias:
renamew
)
Rename the current window, or the window at
target-window if specified, to
new-name.
resize-pane
[-DLMRUZ
]
[-t
target-pane
]
[-x
width
]
[-y
height
]
[adjustment
]
-
(alias:
resizep
)
Resize a pane, up, down, left or right by
adjustment with
-U
,
-D
,
-L
or
-R
, or to an absolute size with
-x
or
-y
. The
adjustment is given in lines or cells
(the default is 1).
With -Z
, the active pane is toggled
between zoomed (occupying the whole of the window) and unzoomed (its
normal position in the layout).
-M
begins mouse resizing (only valid if
bound to a mouse key binding, see
MOUSE SUPPORT).
respawn-pane
[-k
]
[-t
target-pane
]
[shell-command
]
-
(alias:
respawnp
)
Reactivate a pane in which the command has exited (see the
remain-on-exit
window option). If
shell-command is not given, the command
used when the pane was created is executed. The pane must be already
inactive, unless -k
is given, in which
case any existing command is killed.
respawn-window
[-k
]
[-t
target-window
]
[shell-command
]
-
(alias:
respawnw
)
Reactivate a window in which the command has exited (see the
remain-on-exit
window option). If
shell-command is not given, the command
used when the window was created is executed. The window must be already
inactive, unless -k
is given, in which
case any existing command is killed.
rotate-window
[-DU
]
[-t
target-window
]
-
(alias:
rotatew
)
Rotate the positions of the panes within a window, either upward
(numerically lower) with -U
or downward
(numerically higher).
select-layout
[-nop
]
[-t
target-window
]
[layout-name
]
-
(alias:
selectl
)
Choose a specific layout for a window. If
layout-name is not given, the last preset
layout used (if any) is reapplied. -n
and -p
are equivalent to the
next-layout
and
previous-layout
commands.
-o
applies the last set layout if
possible (undoes the most recent layout change).
select-pane
[-DdegLlMmRU
]
[-P
style
]
[-t
target-pane
]
-
(alias:
selectp
)
Make pane target-pane the active pane in
window target-window, or set its style
(with -P
). If one of
-D
,
-L
,
-R
, or
-U
is used, respectively the pane
below, to the left, to the right, or above the target pane is used.
-l
is the same as using the
last-pane
command.
-e
enables or
-d
disables input to the pane.
-m
and
-M
are used to set and clear the
marked pane. There is one marked pane at a
time, setting a new marked pane clears the last. The marked pane is the
default target for -s
to
join-pane
,
swap-pane
and
swap-window
.
Each pane has a style: by default the
window-style
and
window-active-style
options are used,
select-pane
-P
sets the style for a single pane.
For example, to set the pane 1 background to red:
select-pane -t:.1 -P 'bg=red'
-g
shows the current pane style.
select-window
[-lnpT
]
[-t
target-window
]
-
(alias:
selectw
)
Select the window at target-window.
-l
,
-n
and
-p
are equivalent to the
last-window
,
next-window
and
previous-window
commands. If
-T
is given and the selected window is
already the current window, the command behaves like
last-window
.
split-window
[-bdhvP
]
[-c
start-directory
]
[-l
size |
-p
percentage
]
[-t
target-pane
]
[shell-command
]
[-F
format
]
-
(alias:
splitw
)
Create a new pane by splitting target-pane:
-h
does a horizontal split and
-v
a vertical split; if neither is
specified, -v
is assumed. The
-l
and
-p
options specify the size of the new
pane in lines (for vertical split) or in cells (for horizontal split), or
as a percentage, respectively. The -b
option causes the new pane to be created to the left of or above
target-pane. The
-f
option creates a new pane spanning
the full window height (with -h
) or
full window width (with -v
), instead of
splitting the active pane. All other options have the same meaning as for
the new-window
command.
swap-pane
[-dDU
]
[-s
src-pane
]
[-t
dst-pane
]
-
(alias:
swapp
)
Swap two panes. If -U
is used and no
source pane is specified with -s
,
dst-pane is swapped with the previous
pane (before it numerically); -D
swaps
with the next pane (after it numerically).
-d
instructs
tmux
not to change the active pane.
If -s
is omitted and a marked pane is
present (see select-pane
-m
), the marked pane is used rather
than the current pane.
swap-window
[-d
]
[-s
src-window
]
[-t
dst-window
]
-
(alias:
swapw
)
This is similar to link-window
, except
the source and destination windows are swapped. It is an error if no
window exists at src-window.
Like swap-pane
, if
-s
is omitted and a marked pane is
present (see select-pane
-m
), the window containing the marked
pane is used rather than the current window.
unlink-window
[-k
]
[-t
target-window
]
-
(alias:
unlinkw
)
Unlink target-window. Unless
-k
is given, a window may be unlinked
only if it is linked to multiple sessions - windows may not be linked to
no sessions; if -k
is specified and the
window is linked to only one session, it is unlinked and destroyed.
KEY BINDINGS¶
tmux
allows a command to be bound to most
keys, with or without a prefix key. When specifying keys, most represent
themselves (for example ‘
A
’ to
‘
Z
’). Ctrl keys may be prefixed with
‘
C-
’ or
‘
^
’, and Alt (meta) with
‘
M-
’. In addition, the following special
key names are accepted:
Up,
Down,
Left,
Right,
BSpace,
BTab,
DC (Delete),
End,
Enter,
Escape,
F1 to
F12,
Home,
IC (Insert),
NPage/PageDown/PgDn,
PPage/PageUp/PgUp,
Space, and
Tab. Note
that to bind the ‘
"
’ or
‘
'
’ keys, quotation marks are necessary,
for example:
bind-key '"' split-window
bind-key "'" new-window
Commands related to key bindings are as follows:
bind-key
[-cnr
]
[-R
repeat-count
]
[-t
mode-table
]
[-T
key-table
]
key
command
[arguments
]
-
(alias:
bind
)
Bind key key to
command. Keys are bound in a key table.
By default (without -T), the key is bound in the
prefix key table. This table is used for keys
pressed after the prefix key (for example, by default
‘c
’ is bound to
new-window
in the
prefix table, so ‘C-b
c
’ creates a new window). The
root table is used for keys pressed without
the prefix key: binding ‘c
’ to
new-window
in the
root table (not recommended) means a plain
‘c
’ will create a new window.
-n
is an alias for
-T
root. Keys may also be bound in custom
key tables and the switch-client
-T
command used to switch to them from
a key binding. The -r
flag indicates
this key may repeat, see the
repeat-time
option.
If -t
is present,
key is bound in
mode-table: the binding for command mode
with -c
or for normal mode without. For
keys in the vi-copy or
emacs-copy tables,
-R
specifies how many times the command
should be repeated.
See the WINDOWS AND
PANES section and the list-keys
command for information on mode key bindings.
To view the default bindings and possible commands, see the
list-keys
command.
list-keys
[-t
mode-table
]
[-T
key-table
]
-
(alias:
lsk
)
List all key bindings. Without -T
all key
tables are printed. With -T
only
key-table.
With -t
, the key bindings in
mode-table are listed; this may be one
of: vi-edit,
emacs-edit,
vi-choice,
emacs-choice,
vi-copy or
emacs-copy.
send-keys
[-lMR
]
[-t
target-pane
]
key
...
-
(alias:
send
)
Send a key or keys to a window. Each argument
key is the name of the key (such as
‘C-a
’ or
‘npage
’ ) to send; if the string is
not recognised as a key, it is sent as a series of characters. The
-l
flag disables key name lookup and
sends the keys literally. All arguments are sent sequentially from first
to last. The -R
flag causes the
terminal state to be reset.
-M
passes through a mouse event (only
valid if bound to a mouse key binding, see
MOUSE SUPPORT).
send-prefix
[-2
]
[-t
target-pane
]
- Send the prefix key, or with
-2
the
secondary prefix key, to a window as if it was pressed.
unbind-key
[-acn
]
[-t
mode-table
]
[-T
key-table
]
key
-
(alias:
unbind
)
Unbind the command bound to key.
-c
,
-n
,
-T
and
-t
are the same as for
bind-key
. If
-a
is present, all key bindings are
removed.
OPTIONS¶
The appearance and behaviour of
tmux
may be
modified by changing the value of various options. There are three types of
option:
server options,
session options and
window options.
The
tmux
server has a set of global options
which do not apply to any particular window or session. These are altered with
the
set-option
-s
command, or displayed with the
show-options
-s
command.
In addition, each individual session may have a set of session options, and
there is a separate set of global session options. Sessions which do not have
a particular option configured inherit the value from the global session
options. Session options are set or unset with the
set-option
command and may be listed with
the
show-options
command. The available
server and session options are listed under the
set-option
command.
Similarly, a set of window options is attached to each window, and there is a
set of global window options from which any unset options are inherited.
Window options are altered with the
set-window-option
command and can be listed
with the
show-window-options
command. All
window options are documented with the
set-window-option
command.
tmux
also supports user options which are
prefixed with a ‘
@
’. User options may
have any name, so long as they are prefixed with
‘
@
’, and be set to any string. For
example:
$ tmux setw -q @foo "abc123"
$ tmux showw -v @foo
abc123
Commands which set options are as follows:
set-option
[-agoqsuw
]
[-t
target-session |
target-window
]
option
value
-
(alias:
set
)
Set a window option with -w
(equivalent
to the set-window-option
command), a
server option with -s
, otherwise a
session option. If -g
is given, the
global session or window option is set. The
-u
flag unsets an option, so a session
inherits the option from the global options (or with
-g
, restores a global option to the
default).
The -o
flag prevents setting an option
that is already set and the -q
flag
suppresses errors about unknown or ambiguous options.
With -a
, and if the option expects a
string or a style, value is appended to
the existing setting. For example:
set -g status-left "foo"
set -ag status-left "bar"
Will result in ‘foobar
’. And:
set -g status-style "bg=red"
set -ag status-style "fg=blue"
Will result in a red background and blue
foreground. Without -a
, the result
would be the default background and a blue foreground.
Available window options are listed under
set-window-option
.
value depends on the option and may be a
number, a string, or a flag (on, off, or omitted to toggle).
Available server options are:
buffer-limit
number
- Set the number of buffers; as new buffers are added to the top of the
stack, old ones are removed from the bottom if necessary to maintain
this maximum length.
default-terminal
terminal
- Set the default terminal for new windows created in this session - the
default value of the
TERM
environment variable. For tmux
to
work correctly, this must be set to
‘screen
’,
‘tmux
’ or a derivative of
them.
escape-time
time
- Set the time in milliseconds for which
tmux
waits after an escape is input
to determine if it is part of a function or meta key sequences. The
default is 500 milliseconds.
exit-unattached
[on
|
off
]
- If enabled, the server will exit when there are no attached
clients.
focus-events
[on
|
off
]
- When enabled, focus events are requested from the terminal if
supported and passed through to applications running in
tmux
. Attached clients should be
detached and attached again after changing this option.
history-file
path
- If not empty, a file to which
tmux
will write command prompt history on exit and load it from on
start.
message-limit
number
- Set the number of error or information messages to save in the message
log for each client. The default is 100.
set-clipboard
[on
|
off
]
- Attempt to set the terminal clipboard content using the \e]52;...\007
xterm(1) escape sequences. This option is
on by default if there is an Ms entry in
the terminfo(5) description for the
client terminal. Note that this feature needs to be enabled in
xterm(1) by setting the resource:
disallowedWindowOps: 20,21,SetXprop
Or changing this property from the xterm(1)
interactive menu when required.
terminal-overrides
string
- Contains a list of entries which override terminal descriptions read
using terminfo(5).
string is a comma-separated list of
items each a colon-separated string made up of a terminal type pattern
(matched using fnmatch(3)) and a set of
name=value entries.
For example, to set the ‘
clear
’
terminfo(5) entry to
‘\e[H\e[2J
’ for all terminal
types and the ‘dch1
’ entry to
‘\e[P
’ for the
‘rxvt
’ terminal type, the option
could be set to the string:
"*:clear=\e[H\e[2J,rxvt:dch1=\e[P"
The terminal entry value is passed through
strunvis(3) before interpretation. The
default value forcibly corrects the
‘colors
’ entry for terminals
which support 256 colours:
"*256col*:colors=256,xterm*:XT"
Available session options are:
assume-paste-time
milliseconds
- If keys are entered faster than one in
milliseconds, they are assumed to
have been pasted rather than typed and
tmux
key bindings are not
processed. The default is one millisecond and zero disables.
base-index
index
- Set the base index from which an unused index should be searched when
a new window is created. The default is zero.
bell-action
[any
|
none
|
current
|
other
]
- Set action on window bell.
any
means a bell in any window linked to a session causes a bell in the
current window of that session,
none
means all bells are ignored,
current
means only bells in windows
other than the current window are ignored and
other
means bells in the current
window are ignored but not those in other windows.
bell-on-alert
[on
|
off
]
- If on, ring the terminal bell when an alert occurs.
default-command
shell-command
- Set the command used for new windows (if not specified when the window
is created) to shell-command, which
may be any sh(1) command. The default is
an empty string, which instructs
tmux
to create a login shell using
the value of the default-shell
option.
default-shell
path
- Specify the default shell. This is used as the login shell for new
windows when the
default-command
option is set to empty, and must be the full path of the executable.
When started tmux
tries to set a
default value from the first suitable of the
SHELL
environment variable, the
shell returned by getpwuid(3), or
/bin/sh. This option should be
configured when tmux
is used as a
login shell.
destroy-unattached
[on
|
off
]
- If enabled and the session is no longer attached to any clients, it is
destroyed.
detach-on-destroy
[on
|
off
]
- If on (the default), the client is detached when the session it is
attached to is destroyed. If off, the client is switched to the most
recently active of the remaining sessions.
display-panes-active-colour
colour
- Set the colour used by the
display-panes
command to show the
indicator for the active pane.
display-panes-colour
colour
- Set the colour used by the
display-panes
command to show the

display-panes-time
time
- Set the time in milliseconds for which the indicators shown by the
display-panes
command appear.
display-time
time
- Set the amount of time for which status line messages and other
on-screen indicators are displayed. If set to 0, messages and
indicators are displayed until a key is pressed.
time is in milliseconds.
history-limit
lines
- Set the maximum number of lines held in window history. This setting
applies only to new windows - existing window histories are not
resized and retain the limit at the point they were created.
key-table
key-table
- Set the default key table to
key-table instead of
root.
lock-after-time
number
- Lock the session (like the
lock-session
command) after
number seconds of inactivity. The
default is not to lock (set to 0).
lock-command
shell-command
- Command to run when locking each client. The default is to run
lock(1) with
-np
.
message-command-style
style
- Set status line message command style, where
style is a comma-separated list of
characteristics to be specified.
These may be ‘
bg=colour
’ to set
the background colour,
‘fg=colour
’ to set the
foreground colour, and a list of attributes as specified below.
The colour is one of: black
,
red
,
green
,
yellow
,
blue
,
magenta
,
cyan
,
white
, aixterm bright variants (if
supported: brightred
,
brightgreen
, and so on),
colour0
to
colour255
from the 256-colour set,
default
, or a hexadecimal RGB
string such as ‘#ffffff
’, which
chooses the closest match from the default 256-colour set.
The attributes is either none
or a
comma-delimited list of one or more of:
bright
(or
bold
),
dim
,
underscore
,
blink
,
reverse
,
hidden
, or
italics
, to turn an attribute on,
or an attribute prefixed with
‘no
’ to turn one off.
Examples are:
fg=yellow,bold,underscore,blink
bg=black,fg=default,noreverse
With the -a
flag to the
set-option
command the new style is
added otherwise the existing style is replaced.
message-style
style
- Set status line message style. For how to specify
style, see the
message-command-style
option.
mouse
[on
|
off
]
- If on,
tmux
captures the mouse and
allows mouse events to be bound as key bindings. See the
MOUSE SUPPORT
section for details.
prefix
key
- Set the key accepted as a prefix key. In addition to the standard keys
described under KEY
BINDINGS,
prefix
can be set to

the other windows in numerical order. This respects the
base-index
option if it has been
set. If off, do not renumber the windows.
repeat-time
time
- Allow multiple commands to be entered without pressing the prefix-key
again in the specified time
milliseconds (the default is 500). Whether a key repeats may be set
when it is bound using the

to bind-key
. Repeat is enabled for
the default keys bound to the
resize-pane
command.
set-remain-on-exit
[on
|
off
]
- Set the
remain-on-exit
window
option for any windows first created in this session. When this option
is true, windows in which the running program has exited do not close,
instead remaining open but inactivate. Use the
respawn-window
command to
reactivate such a window, or the
kill-window
command to destroy
it.
set-titles
[on
|
off
]
- Attempt to set the client terminal title using the
tsl and fsl
terminfo(5) entries if they exist.
tmux
automatically sets these to
the \e]0;...\007 sequence if the terminal appears to be
xterm(1). This option is off by
default.

set and contain the string
‘vi
’.
status-left
string
- Display string (by default the
session name) to the left of the status bar.
string will be passed through
strftime(3) and formats (see
FORMATS) will be
expanded. It may also contain the special character sequence #[] to
change the colour or attributes, for example
‘
#[fg=red,bright]
’ to set a
bright red foreground. See the
message-command-style
option for a
description of colours and attributes.
For details on how the names and titles can be set see the
NAMES AND TITLES
section.
Examples are:
#(sysctl vm.loadavg)
#[fg=yellow,bold]#(apm -l)%%#[default] [#S]
The default is ‘[#S]
’.
status-left-length
length
- Set the maximum length of the left
component of the status bar. The default is 10.
status-left-style
style
- Set the style of the left part of the status line. For how to specify

string
- Display string to the right of the
status bar. By default, the current window title in double quotes, the
date and the time are shown. As with
status-left
,
string will be passed to
strftime(3) and character pairs are
replaced.
status-right-length
length
- Set the maximum length of the right
component of the status bar. The default is 40.
status-right-style
style
- Set the style of the right part of the status line. For how to specify

option.
status-style
style
- Set status line style. For how to specify
style, see the
message-command-style
option.
update-environment
variables
- Set a space-separated string containing a list of environment
variables to be copied into the session environment when a new session
is created or an existing session is attached. Any variables that do
not exist in the source environment are set to be removed from the
session environment (as if
-r
was
given to the set-environment
command). The default is "DISPLAY SSH_ASKPASS SSH_AUTH_SOCK
SSH_AGENT_PID SSH_CONNECTION WINDOWID XAUTHORITY".
visual-activity
[on
|
off
]
- If on, display a status line message when activity occurs in a window
for which the
monitor-activity
window option is enabled.
visual-bell
[on
|
off
]

string
- Sets the session's conception of what characters are considered word
separators, for the purposes of the next and previous word commands in
copy mode. The default is
‘
-_@
’.
set-window-option
[-agoqu
]
[-t
target-window
]
option
value
-
(alias:
setw
)
Set a window option. The -a
,
-g
,
-o
,
-q
and
-u
flags work similarly to the
set-option
command.
Supported window options are:
aggressive-resize
[on
|
off
]
- Aggressively resize the chosen window. This means that
tmux
will resize the window to the
size of the smallest session for which it is the current window,
rather than the smallest session to which it is attached. The window
may resize when the current window is changed on another sessions;
this option is good for full-screen programs which support
SIGWINCH
and poor for interactive
programs such as shells.
allow-rename
[on
|
off
]
- Allow programs to change the window name using a terminal escape
sequence (\ek...\e\\). The default is on.
alternate-screen
[on
|
off
]
- This option configures whether programs running inside
tmux
may use the terminal alternate
screen feature, which allows the smcup
and rmcup
terminfo(5) capabilities. The alternate
screen feature preserves the contents of the window when an
interactive application starts and restores it on exit, so that any
output visible before the application starts reappears unchanged after
it exits. The default is on.
automatic-rename
[on
|
off
]
- Control automatic window renaming. When this setting is enabled,
tmux
will rename the window
automatically using the format specified by
automatic-rename-format
. This flag
is automatically disabled for an individual window when a name is
specified at creation with
new-window
or
new-session
, or later with
rename-window
, or with a terminal
escape sequence. It may be switched off globally with:
set-window-option -g automatic-rename off
automatic-rename-format
format
- The format (see FORMATS)
used when the
automatic-rename
option is enabled.
clock-mode-colour
colour
- Set clock colour.
clock-mode-style
[12
|
24
]
- Set clock hour format.
force-height
height
-
force-width

height
-
main-pane-width
width
- Set the width or height of the main (left or top) pane in the
main-horizontal
or
main-vertical
layouts.
mode-keys
[vi
|
emacs
]
- Use vi or emacs-style key bindings in copy and choice modes. As with
the
status-keys
option, the default
is emacs, unless VISUAL
or
EDITOR
contains
‘vi
’.
mode-style
style
- Set window modes style. For how to specify
style, see the
message-command-style
option.
monitor-activity
[on
|
off
]
- Monitor for activity in the window. Windows with activity are
highlighted in the status line.
monitor-silence
[interval
]
- Monitor for silence (no activity) in the window within
interval
seconds. Windows that have
been silent for the interval are highlighted in the status line. An
interval of zero disables the monitoring.
other-pane-height
height
- Set the height of the other panes (not the main pane) in the
main-horizontal
layout. If this
option is set to 0 (the default), it will have no effect. If both the
main-pane-height
and
other-pane-height
options are set,
the main pane will grow taller to make the other panes the specified
height, but will never shrink to do so.
other-pane-width
width
- Like
other-pane-height
, but set the
width of other panes in the
main-vertical
layout.
pane-active-border-style
style
- Set the pane border style for the currently active pane. For how to
specify style, see the

HOOKS¶
tmux
allows commands to run on various
triggers, called
hooks. Each
tmux
command has a
before hook and an
after hook and there are a number of hooks not
associated with commands.
A command's before hook is run before the command is executed and its after hook
is run afterwards, except when the command is run as part of a hook itself.
Before hooks are named using the
‘
before-
’ prefix and after hooks the
‘
after-
’ prefix. For example, the
following command adds a hook to select the even-vertical layout after every
split-window
:
set-hook after-split-window "selectl even-vertical"
Or to write when each new window is created to a file:
set-hook before-new-window 'run "date >>/tmp/log"'
In addition, the following hooks are available:
- alert-activity
- Run when a window has activity. See
monitor-activity
.
- alert-bell
- Run when a window has received a bell.
- alert-silence
- Run when a window has been silent. See
monitor-silence
.
- client-attached
- Run when a client is attached.
- client-detached
- Run when a client is detached
- client-resized
- Run when a client is resized.
- pane-died
- Run when the program running in a pane exits, but
remain-on-exit
is on so the pane has
not closed.
- pane-exited
- Run when the program running in a pane exits.
Hooks are managed with these commands:
set-hook
[-g
]
[-t
target-session
]
hook-name
command
- Sets hook hook-name to
command. If
-g
is given,
hook-name is added to the global list of
hooks, otherwise it is added to the session hooks (for
target-session with
-t
). Like options, session hooks
inherit from the global ones.
show-hooks
[-g
]
[-t
target-session
]
- Shows the global list of hooks with
-g
,
otherwise the session hooks.
MOUSE SUPPORT¶
If the
mouse
option is on (the default is
off),
tmux
allows mouse events to be bound
as keys. The name of each key is made up of a mouse event (such as
‘
MouseUp1
’) and a location suffix (one
of ‘
Pane
’ for the contents of a pane,
‘
Border
’ for a pane border or
‘
Status
’ for the status line). The
following mouse events are available:
Each should be suffixed with a location, for example
‘
MouseDown1Status
’.
The special token ‘
{mouse}
’ or
‘
=
’ may be used as
target-window or
target-pane in commands bound to mouse key
bindings. It resolves to the window or pane over which the mouse event took
place (for example, the window in the status line over which button 1 was
released for a ‘
MouseUp1Status
’ binding,
or the pane over which the wheel was scrolled for a
‘
WheelDownPane
’ binding).
The
send-keys
-M
flag may be used to forward a mouse
event to a pane.
The default key bindings allow the mouse to be used to select and resize panes,
to copy text and to change window using the status line. These take effect if
the
mouse
option is turned on.
Certain commands accept the
-F
flag with a
format argument. This is a string which
controls the output format of the command. Replacement variables are enclosed
in ‘
#{
’ and
‘
}
’, for example
‘
#{session_name}
’. The possible
variables are listed in the table below, or the name of a
tmux
option may be used for an option's
value. Some variables have a shorter alias such as
‘
#S
’, and
‘
##
’ is replaced by a single
‘
#
’.
Conditionals are available by prefixing with
‘
?
’ and separating two alternatives with
a comma; if the specified variable exists and is not zero, the first
alternative is chosen, otherwise the second is used. For example
‘
#{?session_attached,attached,not
attached}
’ will include the string
‘
attached
’ if the session is attached
and the string ‘
not attached
’ if it is
unattached, or
‘
#{?automatic-rename,yes,no}
’ will
include ‘
yes
’ if
automatic-rename
is enabled, or
‘
no
’ if not.
A limit may be placed on the length of the resultant string by prefixing it by
an ‘
=
’, a number and a colon. Positive
numbers count from the start of the string and negative from the end, so
‘
#{=5:pane_title}
’ will include at most
the first 5 characters of the pane title, or
‘
#{=-5:pane_title}
’ the last 5
characters. Prefixing a time variable with
‘
t:
’ will convert it to a string, so if
‘
#{window_activity}
’ gives
‘
1445765102
’,
‘
#{t:window_activity}
’ gives
‘
Sun Oct 25 09:25:02 2015
’. The
‘
b:
’ and
‘
d:
’ prefixes are
basename(3) and
dirname(3) of the variable respectively. A prefix
of the form ‘
s/foo/bar/:
’ will
substitute ‘
foo
’ with
‘
bar
’ throughout.
In addition, the first line of a shell command's output may be inserted using
‘
#()
’. For example,
‘
#(uptime)
’ will insert the system's
uptime. When constructing formats,
tmux
does not wait for ‘
#()
’ commands to
finish; instead, the previous result from running the same command is used, or
a placeholder if the command has not been run before. Commands are executed
with the
tmux
global environment set (see
the
ENVIRONMENT section).
The following variables are available, where appropriate:
NAMES AND TITLES¶
tmux
distinguishes between names and titles.
Windows and sessions have names, which may be used to specify them in targets
and are displayed in the status line and various lists: the name is the
tmux
identifier for a window or session.
Only panes have titles. A pane's title is typically set by the program running
inside the pane and is not modified by
tmux
. It is the same mechanism used to set
for example the
xterm(1) window title in an
X(7) window manager. Windows themselves do not
have titles - a window's title is the title of its active pane.
tmux
itself may set the title of the
terminal in which the client is running, see the
set-titles
option.
A session's name is set with the
new-session
and
rename-session
commands. A window's
name is set with one of:
- A command argument (such as
-n
for
new-window
or
new-session
).
- An escape sequence:
$ printf '\033kWINDOW_NAME\033\\'
- Automatic renaming, which sets the name to the active command in the
window's active pane. See the
automatic-rename
option.
When a pane is first created, its title is the hostname. A pane's title can be
set via the OSC title setting sequence, for example:
$ printf '\033]2;My Title\033\\'
ENVIRONMENT¶
When the server is started,
tmux
copies the
environment into the
global environment; in
addition, each session has a
session environment.
When a window is created, the session and global environments are merged. If a
variable exists in both, the value from the session environment is used. The
result is the initial environment passed to the new process.
The
update-environment
session option may be
used to update the session environment from the client when a new session is
created or an old reattached.
tmux
also
initialises the
TMUX
variable with some
internal information to allow commands to be executed from inside, and the
TERM
variable with the correct terminal
setting of ‘
screen
’.
Commands to alter and view the environment are:
set-environment
[-gru
]
[-t
target-session
]
name
[value
]
-
(alias:
setenv
)
Set or unset an environment variable. If
-g
is used, the change is made in the
global environment; otherwise, it is applied to the session environment
for target-session. The
-u
flag unsets a variable.
-r
indicates the variable is to be
removed from the environment before starting a new process.
show-environment
[-gs
]
[-t
target-session
]
[variable
]
-
(alias:
showenv
)
Display the environment for target-session
or the global environment with -g
. If
variable is omitted, all variables are
shown. Variables removed from the environment are prefixed with
‘-
’. If
-s
is used, the output is formatted as
a set of Bourne shell commands.
STATUS LINE¶
tmux
includes an optional status line which
is displayed in the bottom line of each terminal. By default, the status line
is enabled (it may be disabled with the
status
session option) and contains, from
left-to-right: the name of the current session in square brackets; the window
list; the title of the active pane in double quotes; and the time and date.
The status line is made of three parts: configurable left and right sections
(which may contain dynamic content such as the time or output from a shell
command, see the
status-left
,
status-left-length
,
status-right
, and
status-right-length
options below), and a
central window list. By default, the window list shows the index, name and (if
any) flag of the windows present in the current session in ascending numerical
order. It may be customised with the
window-status-format and
window-status-current-format options. The
flag is one of the following symbols appended to the window name:
Symbol |
Meaning |
* |
Denotes the current window. |
- |
Marks the last window (previously selected). |
# |
Window is monitored and activity has been detected. |
! |
A bell has occurred in the window. |
~ |
The window has been silent for the monitor-silence interval. |
M |
The window contains the marked pane. |
Z |
The window's active pane is zoomed. |
The # symbol relates to the
monitor-activity
window option. The window name is printed in inverted colours if an alert
(bell, activity or silence) is present.
The colour and attributes of the status line may be configured, the entire
status line using the
status-style
session
option and individual windows using the
window-status-style
window option.
The status line is automatically refreshed at interval if it has changed, the
interval may be controlled with the
status-interval
session option.
Commands related to the status line are as follows:
command-prompt
[-I
inputs
]
[-p
prompts
]
[-t
target-client
]
[template
]
- Open the command prompt in a client. This may be used from inside
tmux
to execute commands interactively.
If template is specified, it is used as the
command. If present, -I
is a
comma-separated list of the initial text for each prompt. If
-p
is given,
prompts is a comma-separated list of
prompts which are displayed in order; otherwise a single prompt is
displayed, constructed from template if
it is present, or ‘:
’ if not.
Both inputs and
prompts may contain the special character
sequences supported by the status-left
option.
Before the command is executed, the first occurrence of the string
‘%%
’ and all occurrences of
‘%1
’ are replaced by the response to
the first prompt, all ‘%2
’ are
replaced with the response to the second prompt, and so on for further
prompts. Up to nine prompt responses may be replaced
(‘%1
’ to
‘%9
’).
confirm-before
[-p
prompt
]
[-t
target-client
]
command
-
(alias:
confirm
)
Ask for confirmation before executing
command. If
-p
is given,
prompt is the prompt to display;
otherwise a prompt is constructed from
command. It may contain the special
character sequences supported by the
status-left
option.
This command works only from inside
tmux
.
display-message
[-p
]
[-c
target-client
]
[-t
target-pane
]
[message
]
-
(alias:
display
)
Display a message. If -p
is given, the
output is printed to stdout, otherwise it is displayed in the
target-client status line. The format of
message is described in the
FORMATS section; information
is taken from target-pane if
-t
is given, otherwise the active pane
for the session attached to
target-client.
BUFFERS¶
tmux
maintains a set of named
paste buffers. Each buffer may be either
explicitly or automatically named. Explicitly named buffers are named when
created with the
set-buffer
or
load-buffer
commands, or by renaming an
automatically named buffer with
set-buffer
-n
. Automatically named buffers are given a
name such as ‘
buffer0001
’,
‘
buffer0002
’ and so on. When the
buffer-limit
option is reached, the oldest
automatically named buffer is deleted. Explicitly named buffers are not
subject to
buffer-limit
and may be deleted
with
delete-buffer
command.
Buffers may be added using
copy-mode
or the
set-buffer
and
load-buffer
commands, and pasted into a
window using the
paste-buffer
command. If a
buffer command is used and no buffer is specified, the most recently added
automatically named buffer is assumed.
A configurable history buffer is also maintained for each window. By default, up
to 2000 lines are kept; this can be altered with the
history-limit
option (see the
set-option
command above).
The buffer commands are as follows:
choose-buffer
[-F
format
]
[-t
target-window
]
[template
]
- Put a window into buffer choice mode, where a buffer may be chosen
interactively from a list. After a buffer is selected,
‘
%%
’ is replaced by the buffer name
in template and the result executed as a
command. If template is not given,
"paste-buffer -b '%%'" is used. For the meaning of the
-F
flag, see the
FORMATS section. This command
works only if at least one client is attached.
clear-history
[-t
target-pane
]
-
(alias:
clearhist
)
Remove and free the history for the specified pane.
delete-buffer
[-b
buffer-name
]
-
(alias:
deleteb
)
Delete the buffer named buffer-name, or the
most recently added automatically named buffer if not specified.
list-buffers
[-F
format
]
-
(alias:
lsb
)
List the global buffers. For the meaning of the
-F
flag, see the
FORMATS section.
load-buffer
[-b
buffer-name
]
path
-
(alias:
loadb
)
Load the contents of the specified paste buffer from
path.
paste-buffer
[-dpr
]
[-b
buffer-name
]
[-s
separator
]
[-t
target-pane
]
-
(alias:
pasteb
)
Insert the contents of a paste buffer into the specified pane. If not
specified, paste into the current one. With
-d
, also delete the paste buffer. When
output, any linefeed (LF) characters in the paste buffer are replaced with
a separator, by default carriage return (CR). A custom separator may be
specified using the -s
flag. The
-r
flag means to do no replacement
(equivalent to a separator of LF). If
-p
is specified, paste bracket control
codes are inserted around the buffer if the application has requested
bracketed paste mode.
save-buffer
[-a
]
[-b
buffer-name
]
path
-
(alias:
saveb
)
Save the contents of the specified paste buffer to
path. The
-a
option appends to rather than
overwriting the file.
set-buffer
[-a
]
[-b
buffer-name
]
[-n
new-buffer-name
]
data
-
(alias:
setb
)
Set the contents of the specified buffer to
data. The
-a
option appends to rather than
overwriting the buffer. The -n
option
renames the buffer to
new-buffer-name.
show-buffer
[-b
buffer-name
]
-
(alias:
showb
)
Display the contents of the specified buffer.
MISCELLANEOUS¶
Miscellaneous commands are as follows:
clock-mode
[-t
target-pane
]
- Display a large clock.
if-shell
[-bF
]
[-t
target-pane
]
shell-command command
[command
]
-
(alias:
if
)
Execute the first command if
shell-command returns success or the
second command otherwise. Before being
executed, shell-command is expanded using
the rules specified in the
FORMATS section, including
those relevant to target-pane. With
-b
,
shell-command is run in the background.
If -F
is given,
shell-command is not executed but
considered success if neither empty nor zero (after formats are
expanded).
lock-server
-
(alias:
lock
)
Lock each client individually by running the command specified by the
lock-command
option.
run-shell
[-b
]
[-t
target-pane
]
shell-command
-
(alias:
run
)
Execute shell-command in the background
without creating a window. Before being executed, shell-command is
expanded using the rules specified in the
FORMATS section. With
-b
, the command is run in the
background. After it finishes, any output to stdout is displayed in copy
mode (in the pane specified by -t
or
the current pane if omitted). If the command doesn't return success, the
exit status is also displayed.
wait-for
[-L
|
-S
|
-U
]
channel
-
(alias:
wait
)
When used without options, prevents the client from exiting until woken
using wait-for
-S
with the same channel. When
-L
is used, the channel is locked and
any clients that try to lock the same channel are made to wait until the
channel is unlocked with wait-for
-U
. This command only works from
outside tmux
.
TERMINFO EXTENSIONS¶
tmux
understands some unofficial extensions
to
terminfo(5):
- Cs, Cr
- Set the cursor colour. The first takes a single string argument and is
used to set the colour; the second takes no arguments and restores the
default cursor colour. If set, a sequence such as this may be used to
change the cursor colour from inside
tmux
:
$ printf '\033]12;red\033\\'
- Ss, Se
- Set or reset the cursor style. If set, a sequence such as this may be used
to change the cursor to an underline:
If Se is not set, Ss with argument 0 will be
used to reset the cursor style instead.
- Tc
- Indicate that the terminal supports the ‘
direct
colour
’ RGB escape sequence (for example,
\e[38;2;255;255;255m).
- Ms
- Store the current buffer in the host terminal's selection (clipboard). See
the set-clipboard option above and the
xterm(1) man page.
CONTROL MODE¶
tmux
offers a textual interface called
control mode. This allows applications to
communicate with
tmux
using a simple
text-only protocol.
In control mode, a client sends
tmux
commands
or command sequences terminated by newlines on standard input. Each command
will produce one block of output on standard output. An output block consists
of a
%begin line followed by the output (which
may be empty). The output block ends with a
%end
or
%error.
%begin
and matching
%end or
%error have two arguments: an integer time (as
seconds from epoch) and command number. For example:
%begin 1363006971 2
0: ksh* (1 panes) [80x24] [layout b25f,80x24,0,0,2] @2 (active)
%end 1363006971 2
In control mode,
tmux
outputs notifications.
A notification will never occur inside an output block.
The following notifications are defined:
%exit
[reason
]
- The
tmux
client is exiting immediately,
either because it is not attached to any session or an error occurred. If
present, reason describes why the client
exited.
%layout-change
window-id
window-layout
window-visible-layout
window-flags
- The layout of a window with ID window-id
changed. The new layout is window-layout.
The window's visible layout is
window-visible-layout and the window
flags are window-flags.
%output
pane-id
value
- A window pane produced output. value
escapes non-printable characters and backslash as octal \xxx.
%session-changed
session-id
name
- The client is now attached to the session with ID
session-id, which is named
name.
%session-renamed
name
- The current session was renamed to
name.
%sessions-changed
- A session was created or destroyed.
%unlinked-window-add
window-id
- The window with ID window-id was created
but is not linked to the current session.
%window-add
window-id
- The window with ID window-id was linked
to the current session.
%window-close
window-id
- The window with ID window-id closed.
%window-renamed
window-id
name
- The window with ID window-id was renamed
to name.
FILES¶
- ~/.tmux.conf
- Default
tmux
configuration file.
- /etc/tmux.conf
- System-wide configuration file.
EXAMPLES¶
To create a new
tmux
session running
vi(1):
$ tmux new-session vi
Most commands have a shorter form, known as an alias. For new-session, this is
new
:
$ tmux new vi
Alternatively, the shortest unambiguous form of a command is accepted. If there
are several options, they are listed:
$ tmux n
ambiguous command: n, could be: new-session, new-window, next-window
Within an active session, a new window may be created by typing
‘
C-b c
’ (Ctrl followed by the
‘
b
’ key followed by the
‘
c
’ key).
Windows may be navigated with: ‘
C-b 0
’ (to
select window 0), ‘
C-b 1
’ (to select
window 1), and so on; ‘
C-b n
’ to select
the next window; and ‘
C-b p
’ to select
the previous window.
A session may be detached using ‘
C-b d
’
(or by an external event such as
ssh(1)
disconnection) and reattached with:
$ tmux attach-session
Typing ‘
C-b ?
’ lists the current key
bindings in the current window; up and down may be used to navigate the list
or ‘
q
’ to exit from it.
Commands to be run when the
tmux
server is
started may be placed in the
~/.tmux.conf
configuration file. Common examples include:
Changing the default prefix key:
set-option -g prefix C-a
unbind-key C-b
bind-key C-a send-prefix
Turning the status line off, or changing its colour:
set-option -g status off
set-option -g status-style bg=blue
Setting other options, such as the default command, or locking after 30 minutes
of inactivity:
set-option -g default-command "exec /bin/ksh"
set-option -g lock-after-time 1800
Creating new key bindings:
bind-key b set-option status
bind-key / command-prompt "split-window 'exec man %%'"
bind-key S command-prompt "new-window -n %1 'ssh %1'"
