@ -4,8 +4,9 @@ tmux is a "terminal multiplexer", it enables a number of terminals (or windows)
to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is intended to be a
simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen.
This 0.5 runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux and OS X and is usable, although there
remain a number of missing features and some remaining bugs are expected.
This 0.6 release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux and OS X and may still run on
Solaris (although it hasn't been tested in a while). It is usable, although
there remain a number of missing features and some remaining bugs are expected.
tmux consists of a server part and multiple clients. The server is created when
required and runs continuously unless killed by the user. Clients access the

does not support colour on OpenBSD. screen ignores this, tmux does not: use
xterm-color or rxvt for colour.
tmux supports UTF-8. To use it, the utf8 option must be set on each window; this
may be turned on by default by setting the utf8-default option. In addition, when
starting tmux or attaching to an existing session from a UTF-8-capable terminal,
the -u flag must be specified.
tmux supports UTF-8. To use it, the utf8 option must be set on each window;
this may be turned on for all windows by setting it as a global option, see
tmux(1) and the FAQ file. In addition, when starting tmux or attaching to an
existing session from a UTF-8-capable terminal, the -u flag must be specified.
There are the following known issues:
- cons25 on the FreeBSD console doesn't support scroll region (cs) (or lies
about support, I'm not totally clear which). This is a pity but emulating cs
is non- trivial and as most modern vt220-based software terminals support it,
is nontrivial and as most modern vt220-based software terminals support it,
currently there are better things to work one. Diffs or ideas how to cleanly
emulate cs are welcome.
