tmux frequently asked questions
* What is tmux? How is it different from GNU screen?
* How is tmux different from GNU screen? What else does it offer?
XXX TODO
tmux offers several advantages over screen:
- a clearly-defined client-server model: windows are independent entities which
may be attached simultaneously to multiple sessions and viewed from multiple
clients (terminals), as well as moved freely between sessions within the same
tmux server;
- a consistent, well-documented command interface, with the same syntax
whether used interactively, as a key binding, or from the shell;
- easily scriptable from the shell;
- multiple paste buffers;
- emacs key layouts;
- options to limit window size;
- a cleaner, modern, easily extended, BSD-licensed codebase.
There are still a few features screen includes that tmux omits:
- builtin serial and telnet support; this is bloat and is unlikely to be added
to tmux;
- a more customisable status line, albeit with an awful syntax;
- wider platform support, for example IRIX and AIX;
- split windows; this is planned and should appear eventually.
* I found a bug! What do I do?
