.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a terminal multiplexer:
|
|
it enables a number of terminals to be created, accessed, and
|
|
controlled from a single screen.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be detached from a screen
|
|
and continue running in the background,
|
|
then later reattached.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is started it creates a new
|
|
.Em session
|
|
with a single
|
|
.Em 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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A session is a single collection of
|
|
.Em pseudo terminals
|
|
under the management of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
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
|
|
.Xr pty 4
|
|
manual page documents the technical details of pseudo terminals).
|
|
Any number of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
instances may connect to the same session,
|
|
and any number of windows may be present in the same session.
|
|
Once all sessions are killed,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each session is persistent and will survive accidental disconnection
|
|
(such as
|
|
.Xr ssh 1
|
|
connection timeout) or intentional detaching (with the
|
|
.Ql C-b d
|
|
key strokes).
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be reattached using:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl $ tmux attach
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
a session is displayed on screen by a
|
|
.Em client
|
|
and all sessions are managed by a single
|
|
.Em server .
|
|
The server and each client are separate processes which communicate through a
|
|
socket in
|
|
.Pa /tmp .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "XXXXXXXXXXXX"
|
|
.It Fl 2
|
|
Force
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to assume the terminal supports 256 colours.
|
|
This is equivalent to
|
|
.Fl T Ar 256 .
|
|
.It Fl C
|
|
Start in control mode (see the
|
|
.Sx CONTROL MODE
|
|
section).
|
|
Given twice
|
|
.Xo ( Fl CC ) Xc
|
|
disables echo.
|
|
.It Fl c Ar shell-command
|
|
Execute
|
|
.Ar shell-command
|
|
using the default shell.
|
|
If necessary, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server will be started to retrieve the
|
|
.Ic default-shell
|
|
option.
|
|
This option is for compatibility with
|
|
.Xr sh 1
|
|
when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is used as a login shell.
|
|
.It Fl D
|
|
Do not start the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server as a daemon.
|
|
This also turns the
|
|
.Ic exit-empty
|
|
option off.
|
|
With
|
|
.Fl D ,
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
may not be specified.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar file
|
|
Specify an alternative configuration file.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
loads the system configuration file from
|
|
.Pa @SYSCONFDIR@/tmux.conf ,
|
|
if present, then looks for a user configuration file at
|
|
.Pa ~/.tmux.conf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The configuration file is a set of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands which are executed in sequence when the server is first started.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
loads configuration files once when the server process has started.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic source-file
|
|
command may be used to load a file later.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
shows any error messages from commands in configuration files in the first
|
|
session created, and continues to process the rest of the configuration file.
|
|
.It Fl L Ar socket-name
|
|
.Nm
|
|
stores the server socket in a directory under
|
|
.Ev TMUX_TMPDIR
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa /tmp
|
|
if it is unset.
|
|
The default socket is named
|
|
.Em default .
|
|
This option allows a different socket name to be specified, allowing several
|
|
independent
|
|
.Nm
|
|
servers to be run.
|
|
Unlike
|
|
.Fl S
|
|
a full path is not necessary: the sockets are all created in a directory
|
|
.Pa tmux-UID
|
|
under the directory given by
|
|
.Ev TMUX_TMPDIR
|
|
or in
|
|
.Pa /tmp .
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa tmux-UID
|
|
directory is created by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and must not be world readable, writable or executable.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the socket is accidentally removed, the
|
|
.Dv SIGUSR1
|
|
signal may be sent to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server process to recreate it (note that this will fail if any parent
|
|
directories are missing).
|
|
.It Fl 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.
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Do not start the server even if the command would normally do so (for example
|
|
.Ic new-session
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic start-server ) .
|
|
.It Fl S Ar socket-path
|
|
Specify a full alternative path to the server socket.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl S
|
|
is specified, the default socket directory is not used and any
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
flag is ignored.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Write UTF-8 output to the terminal even if the first environment
|
|
variable of
|
|
.Ev LC_ALL ,
|
|
.Ev LC_CTYPE ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ev LANG
|
|
that is set does not contain
|
|
.Qq UTF-8
|
|
or
|
|
.Qq UTF8 .
|
|
This is equivalent to
|
|
.Fl T Ar UTF-8 .
|
|
.It Fl T Ar features
|
|
Set terminal features for the client.
|
|
This is a comma-separated list of features.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Ic terminal-features
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Request verbose logging.
|
|
Log messages will be saved into
|
|
.Pa tmux-client-PID.log
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa tmux-server-PID.log
|
|
files in the current directory, where
|
|
.Em PID
|
|
is the PID of the server or client process.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
is specified twice, an additional
|
|
.Pa tmux-out-PID.log
|
|
file is generated with a copy of everything
|
|
.Nm
|
|
writes to the terminal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SIGUSR2
|
|
signal may be sent to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server process to toggle logging between on (as if
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
was given) and off.
|
|
.It Fl V
|
|
Report the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
version.
|
|
.It Ar command Op Ar flags
|
|
This specifies one of a set of commands used to control
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
as described in the following sections.
|
|
If no commands are specified, the
|
|
.Ic new-session
|
|
command is assumed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh DEFAULT KEY BINDINGS
|
|
.Nm
|
|

|
|
.Sh COMMAND PARSING AND EXECUTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports a large number of commands which can be used to control its
|
|
behaviour.
|
|
Each command is named and can accept zero or more flags and arguments.
|
|
They may be bound to a key with the
|
|
.Ic bind-key
|
|
command or run from the shell prompt, a shell script, a configuration file or
|
|
the command prompt.
|
|
For example, the same
|
|
.Ic set-option
|
|
command run from the shell prompt, from
|
|
.Pa ~/.tmux.conf
|
|
and bound to a key may look like:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux set-option -g status-style bg=cyan
|
|
|
|
set-option -g status-style bg=cyan
|
|
|
|
bind-key C set-option -g status-style bg=cyan
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Here, the command name is
|
|
.Ql set-option ,
|
|
.Ql Fl g
|
|
is a flag and
|
|
.Ql status-style
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql bg=cyan
|
|
are arguments.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
distinguishes between command parsing and execution.
|
|
In order to execute a command,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
needs it to be split up into its name and arguments.
|
|
This is command parsing.
|
|
If a command is run from the shell, the shell parses it; from inside
|
|
.Nm
|
|
or from a configuration file,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does.
|
|
Examples of when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
parses commands are:
|
|
.Bl -dash -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
in a configuration file;
|
|
.It
|
|
typed at the command prompt (see
|
|
.Ic command-prompt ) ;
|
|
.It
|
|
given to
|
|
.Ic bind-key ;
|
|
.It
|
|
passed as arguments to
|
|
.Ic if-shell
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic confirm-before .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To execute commands, each client has a
|
|
.Ql command queue .
|
|
A global command queue not attached to any client is used on startup
|
|
for configuration files like
|
|
.Pa ~/.tmux.conf .
|
|
Parsed commands added to the queue are executed in order.
|
|
Some commands, like
|
|
.Ic if-shell
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic confirm-before ,
|
|
parse their argument to create a new command which is inserted immediately
|
|
after themselves.
|
|
This means that arguments can be parsed twice or more - once when the parent command (such as
|
|
.Ic if-shell )
|
|
is parsed and again when it parses and executes its command.
|
|
Commands like
|
|
.Ic if-shell ,
|
|
.Ic run-shell
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic display-panes
|
|
stop execution of subsequent commands on the queue until something happens -
|
|
.Ic if-shell
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic run-shell
|
|
until a shell command finishes and
|
|
.Ic display-panes
|
|
until a key is pressed.
|
|
For example, the following commands:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
new-session; new-window
|
|
if-shell "true" "split-window"
|
|
kill-session
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Will execute
|
|
.Ic new-session ,
|
|
.Ic new-window ,
|
|
.Ic if-shell ,
|
|
the shell command
|
|
.Xr true 1 ,
|
|
.Ic split-window
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic kill-session
|
|
in that order.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Sx COMMANDS
|
|
section lists the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands and their arguments.
|
|
.Sh PARSING SYNTAX
|
|
This section describes the syntax of commands parsed by
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
for example in a configuration file or at the command prompt.
|
|
Note that when commands are entered into the shell, they are parsed by the shell
|
|
- see for example
|
|
.Xr ksh 1
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr csh 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each command is terminated by a newline or a semicolon (;).
|
|
Commands separated by semicolons together form a
|
|
.Ql command sequence
|
|
- if a command in the sequence encounters an error, no subsequent commands are
|
|
executed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is recommended that a semicolon used as a command separator should be
|
|
written as an individual token, for example from
|
|
.Xr sh 1 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux neww \\; splitw
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Or:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux neww ';' splitw
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Or from the tmux command prompt:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
neww ; splitw
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
However, a trailing semicolon is also interpreted as a command separator,
|
|
for example in these
|
|
.Xr sh 1
|
|
commands:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux neww\e\e; splitw
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Or:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux 'neww;' splitw
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As in these examples, when running tmux from the shell extra care must be taken
|
|
to properly quote semicolons:
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset Ds
|
|
.It
|
|
Semicolons that should be interpreted as a command separator
|
|
should be escaped according to the shell conventions.
|
|
For
|
|
.Xr sh 1
|
|
this typically means quoted (such as
|
|
.Ql neww ';' splitw )
|
|
or escaped (such as
|
|
.Ql neww \e\e\e\e; splitw ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
Individual semicolons or trailing semicolons that should be interpreted as
|
|
arguments should be escaped twice: once according to the shell conventions and
|
|
a second time for
|
|
.Nm ;
|
|
for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux neww 'foo\e\e;' bar
|
|
$ tmux neww foo\e\e\e\e; bar
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It
|
|
Semicolons that are not individual tokens or trailing another token should only
|
|
be escaped once according to shell conventions; for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux neww 'foo-;-bar'
|
|
$ tmux neww foo-\e\e;-bar
|
|
.Ed
|

.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Comments are marked by the unquoted # character - any remaining text after a
|
|
comment is ignored until the end of the line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the last character of a line is \e, the line is joined with the following
|
|
line (the \e and the newline are completely removed).
|
|
This is called line continuation and applies both inside and outside quoted
|
|
strings and in comments, but not inside braces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Command arguments may be specified as strings surrounded by single (') quotes,
|
|
double quotes (") or braces ({}).
|
|
.\" "
|
|
This is required when the argument contains any special character.
|
|
Single and double quoted strings cannot span multiple lines except with line
|
|
continuation.
|
|
Braces can span multiple lines.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Outside of quotes and inside double quotes, these replacements are performed:
|
|
.Bl -dash -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
Environment variables preceded by $ are replaced with their value from the
|
|
global environment (see the
|
|
.Sx GLOBAL AND SESSION ENVIRONMENT
|
|
section).
|
|
.It
|
|
A leading ~ or ~user is expanded to the home directory of the current or
|
|
specified user.
|
|
.It
|
|
\euXXXX or \euXXXXXXXX is replaced by the Unicode codepoint corresponding to
|
|
the given four or eight digit hexadecimal number.
|
|
.It
|
|
When preceded (escaped) by a \e, the following characters are replaced: \ee by
|
|
the escape character; \er by a carriage return; \en by a newline; and \et by a
|
|
tab.
|
|
.It
|
|
\eooo is replaced by a character of the octal value ooo.
|
|
Three octal digits are required, for example \e001.
|
|
The largest valid character is \e377.
|
|
.It
|
|
Any other characters preceded by \e are replaced by themselves (that is, the \e
|
|
is removed) and are not treated as having any special meaning - so for example
|
|
\e; will not mark a command sequence and \e$ will not expand an environment
|
|
variable.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Braces are parsed as a configuration file (so conditions such as
|
|
.Ql %if
|
|
are processed) and then converted into a string.
|
|
They are designed to avoid the need for additional escaping when passing a
|
|
group of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands as an argument (for example to
|
|
.Ic if-shell ) .
|
|
These two examples produce an identical command - note that no escaping is
|
|
needed when using {}:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
if-shell true {
|
|
display -p 'brace-dollar-foo: }$foo'
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if-shell true "display -p 'brace-dollar-foo: }\e$foo'"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Braces may be enclosed inside braces, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
bind x if-shell "true" {
|
|
if-shell "true" {
|
|
display "true!"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Environment variables may be set by using the syntax
|
|
.Ql name=value ,
|
|
for example
|
|
.Ql HOME=/home/user .
|
|
Variables set during parsing are added to the global environment.
|
|
A hidden variable may be set with
|
|
.Ql %hidden ,
|
|
for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
%hidden MYVAR=42
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Hidden variables are not passed to the environment of processes created
|
|
by tmux.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Sx GLOBAL AND SESSION ENVIRONMENT
|
|
section.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands may be parsed conditionally by surrounding them with
|
|
.Ql %if ,
|
|
.Ql %elif ,
|
|
.Ql %else
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql %endif .
|
|
The argument to
|
|
.Ql %if
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql %elif
|
|
is expanded as a format (see
|
|
.Sx FORMATS )
|
|
and if it evaluates to false (zero or empty), subsequent text is ignored until
|
|
the closing
|
|
.Ql %elif ,
|
|
.Ql %else
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql %endif .
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
%if "#{==:#{host},myhost}"
|
|
set -g status-style bg=red
|
|
%elif "#{==:#{host},myotherhost}"
|
|
set -g status-style bg=green
|
|
%else
|
|
set -g status-style bg=blue
|

Will change the status line to red if running on
|
|
.Ql myhost ,
|
|
green if running on
|
|
.Ql myotherhost ,
|
|
or blue if running on another host.
|
|
Conditionals may be given on one line, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
%if #{==:#{host},myhost} set -g status-style bg=red %endif

.Sh COMMANDS
|
|
This section describes the commands supported by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
Most commands accept the optional
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
(and sometimes
|
|
.Fl s )
|
|
argument with one of
|
|
.Ar target-client ,
|
|
.Ar target-session ,
|
|
.Ar target-window ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar target-pane .
|
|
These specify the client, session, window or pane which a command should affect.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar target-client
|
|
should be the name of the client,
|
|
typically the
|
|
.Xr pty 4
|
|
file to which the client is connected, for example either of
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyp1
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa ttyp1
|
|
for the client attached to
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyp1 .
|
|
If no client is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
attempts to work out the client currently in use; if that fails, an error is
|
|
reported.
|
|
Clients may be listed with the
|
|
.Ic list-clients
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar target-session
|
|
is tried as, in order:
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset Ds
|
|
.It
|
|
A session ID prefixed with a $.
|
|
.It
|
|
An exact name of a session (as listed by the
|
|
.Ic list-sessions
|
|
command).
|
|
.It
|
|
The start of a session name, for example
|
|
.Ql mysess
|
|
would match a session named
|
|
.Ql mysession .
|
|
.It
|
|
An
|
|
.Xr fnmatch 3
|
|
pattern which is matched against the session name.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the session name is prefixed with an
|
|
.Ql = ,
|
|
only an exact match is accepted (so
|
|
.Ql =mysess
|
|
will only match exactly
|
|
.Ql mysess ,
|
|
not
|
|
.Ql mysession ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar target-window
|
|
(or
|
|
.Ar src-window
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar dst-window )
|
|
specifies a window in the form
|
|
.Em session Ns \&: Ns Em window .
|
|
.Em session
|
|
follows the same rules as for
|
|
.Ar target-session ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Em window
|
|
is looked for in order as:
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset Ds
|
|
.It
|
|
A special token, listed below.
|
|
.It
|
|
A window index, for example
|
|
.Ql mysession:1
|
|
is window 1 in session
|
|
.Ql mysession .
|
|
.It
|
|
A window ID, such as @1.
|
|
.It
|
|
An exact window name, such as
|
|
.Ql mysession:mywindow .
|
|
.It
|
|
The start of a window name, such as
|
|
.Ql mysession:mywin .
|
|
.It
|
|
As an
|
|
.Xr fnmatch 3
|
|
pattern matched against the window name.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Like sessions, a
|
|
.Ql =
|
|
prefix will do an exact match only.
|
|
An empty window name specifies the next unused index if appropriate (for
|
|
example the
|
|
.Ic new-window
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic link-window
|
|
commands)
|
|
otherwise the current window in
|
|
.Em session
|
|
is chosen.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following special tokens are available to indicate particular windows.
|
|
Each has a single-character alternative form.
|
|
.Bl -column "XXXXXXXXXX" "X"
|
|
.It Sy "Token" Ta Sy "" Ta Sy "Meaning"
|
|
.It Li "{start}" Ta "^" Ta "The lowest-numbered window"

|
|
.Ar target-pane
|
|
(or
|
|
.Ar src-pane
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar dst-pane )
|
|
may be a pane ID or takes a similar form to
|
|
.Ar target-window
|
|
but with the optional addition of a period followed by a pane index or pane ID,
|
|
for example:
|
|
.Ql 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:
|
|
.Bl -column "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" "X"
|
|
.It Sy "Token" Ta Sy "" Ta Sy "Meaning"
|
|
.It Li "{last}" Ta "!" Ta "The last (previously active) pane"

.It Li "{left-of}" Ta "" Ta "The pane to the left of the active pane"
|
|
.It Li "{right-of}" Ta "" Ta "The pane to the right of the active pane"
|

.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The tokens
|
|
.Ql +
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql -
|
|
may be followed by an offset, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
select-window -t:+2
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition,
|
|
.Em target-session ,
|
|
.Em target-window
|
|
or
|
|
.Em target-pane
|
|
may consist entirely of the token
|
|
.Ql {mouse}
|
|
(alternative form
|
|
.Ql = )
|
|
to specify the session, window or pane where the most recent mouse event occurred
|
|
(see the
|
|
.Sx MOUSE SUPPORT
|
|
section)
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql {marked}
|
|
(alternative form
|
|
.Ql ~ )
|
|
to specify the marked pane (see
|
|
.Ic select-pane
|
|
.Fl m ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sessions, window and panes are each numbered with a unique ID; session IDs are
|
|
prefixed with a
|
|
.Ql $ ,
|
|
windows with a
|
|
.Ql @ ,
|
|
and panes with a
|
|
.Ql % .
|
|
These are unique and are unchanged for the life of the session, window or pane
|
|
in the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server.
|
|
The pane ID is passed to the child process of the pane in the
|
|
.Ev TMUX_PANE
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
IDs may be displayed using the
|
|
.Ql session_id ,
|
|
.Ql window_id ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql pane_id
|
|
formats (see the

|
.Ic list-sessions ,

|
.Ic list-windows
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic list-panes
|
|
commands.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar shell-command
|
|
arguments are
|
|
.Xr sh 1
|

This may be a single argument passed to the shell, for example:
|

|
|
.Ic split-window ,
|
|
.Ic respawn-window

.Ar shell-command
|
|
to be given as multiple arguments and executed directly (without

.Sh CLIENTS AND SESSIONS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server manages clients, sessions, windows and panes.
|
|
Clients are attached to sessions to interact with them, either
|
|
when they are created with the
|
|
.Ic new-session
|
|
command, or later with the
|
|
.Ic attach-session
|
|
command.
|
|
Each session has one or more windows
|
|
.Em 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
|
|
.Sx WINDOWS AND PANES
|
|
section.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following commands are available to manage clients and sessions:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Xo Ic attach-session
|
|
.Op Fl dErx
|
|
.Op Fl c Ar working-directory
|
|
.Op Fl f Ar flags
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-session
|
|
.Xc
|
|
.D1 (alias: Ic attach )
|
|
If run from outside
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
create a new client in the current terminal and attach it to
|
|
.Ar target-session .
|
|
If used from inside, switch the current client.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
is specified, any other clients attached to the session are detached.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
is given, send
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP
|
|
to the parent process of the client as well as
|
|
detaching the client, typically causing it to exit.
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
sets a comma-separated list of client flags.
|
|
The flags are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It active-pane
|
|
the client has an independent active pane
|
|
.It ignore-size
|
|
the client does not affect the size of other clients
|
|
.It no-output
|
|
the client does not receive pane output in control mode
|
|
.It pause-after=seconds
|
|
output is paused once the pane is
|
|
.Ar seconds
|
|
behind in control mode
|
|
.It read-only
|
|
the client is read-only
|
|
.It wait-exit
|
|
wait for an empty line input before exiting in control mode
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A leading
|
|
.Ql \&!
|
|
turns a flag off if the client is already attached.
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
is an alias for
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
.Ar read-only,ignore-size .
|
|
When a client is read-only, only keys bound to the
|
|
.Ic detach-client
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic switch-client
|
|
commands have any effect.
|
|
A client with the
|
|
.Ar active-pane
|
|
flag allows the active pane to be selected independently of the window's active
|
|
pane used by clients without the flag.
|
|
This only affects the cursor position and commands issued from the client;
|
|
other features such as hooks and styles continue to use the window's active
|
|
pane.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no server is started,
|
|
.Ic attach-session
|
|
will attempt to start it; this will fail unless sessions are created in the
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar target-session
|
|
rules for
|
|
.Ic attach-session
|
|
are slightly adjusted: if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
needs to select the most recently used session, it will prefer the most
|
|
recently used
|
|
.Em unattached
|
|
session.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fl c
|
|
will set the session working directory (used for new windows) to
|
|
.Ar working-directory .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl E
|
|
is used, the
|

.Ic update-environment
|
|
option will not be applied.

|
.D1 (alias: Ic detach )
|
|
Detach the current client if bound to a key, the client specified with
|
|
.Fl t ,
|
|
or all clients currently attached to the session specified by
|
|
.Fl s .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl a

option kills all but the client given with
|
|
.Fl t .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl P
|

is given, send
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP
|

to the parent process of the client, typically causing it
|
|
to exit.

If it does exist, exit with 0.
|
|
.It Ic kill-server
|
|
Kill the

|
|
.It Xo Ic kill-session
|
|
.Op Fl aC
|
|

Destroy the given session, closing any windows linked to it and no other
|
|
sessions, and detaching all clients attached to it.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
is given, all sessions but the specified one is killed.

|
|
Sessions in the same group share the same set of windows - new windows are
|
|
linked to all sessions in the group and any windows closed removed from all
|
|
sessions.
|
|
The current and previous window and any session options remain independent and
|
|
any session in a group may be killed without affecting the others.
|

|
notification, at most once a second.
|
|
If only the name is given, the subscription is removed.
|
|

.Sh WINDOWS AND PANES
|
|
Each window displayed by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be split into one or more
|
|
.Em 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
|
|
.Ic split-window
|
|
command.
|
|
Windows may be split horizontally (with the
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
flag) or vertically.
|
|
Panes may be resized with the
|
|
.Ic resize-pane
|
|
command (bound to
|
|
.Ql C-Up ,
|
|
.Ql C-Down
|
|
.Ql C-Left
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql C-Right
|
|
by default), the current pane may be changed with the
|
|
.Ic select-pane
|
|
command and the
|
|
.Ic rotate-window
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic 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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default, a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
pane permits direct access to the terminal contained in the pane.
|
|
A pane may also be put into one of several modes:
|
|
.Bl -dash -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
Copy mode, which permits a section of a window or its
|
|
history to be copied to a
|
|
.Em paste buffer
|
|
for later insertion into another window.
|
|
This mode is entered with the
|
|
.Ic copy-mode
|
|
command, bound to
|
|
.Ql \&[
|
|
by default.
|
|
Copied text can be pasted with the
|
|
.Ic paste-buffer
|
|
command, bound to
|
|
.Ql \&] .
|
|
.It
|
|
View mode, which is like copy mode but is entered when a command that produces
|
|
output, such as
|
|
.Ic list-keys ,
|
|
is executed from a key binding.
|
|
.It
|
|
Choose mode, which allows an item to be chosen from a list.
|
|
This may be a client, a session or window or pane, or a buffer.
|
|
This mode is entered with the
|
|
.Ic choose-buffer ,
|
|
.Ic choose-client
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic choose-tree
|
|
commands.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In copy mode an indicator is displayed in the top-right corner of the pane with
|
|
the current position and the number of lines in the history.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands are sent to copy mode using the
|
|
.Fl X
|
|
flag to the
|
|
.Ic send-keys
|
|
command.
|
|
When a key is pressed, copy mode automatically uses one of two key tables,
|
|
depending on the
|
|
.Ic mode-keys
|
|
option:
|
|
.Ic copy-mode
|
|
for emacs, or
|
|
.Ic copy-mode-vi
|
|
for vi.
|
|
Key tables may be viewed with the
|
|
.Ic list-keys
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|

The search commands come in several varieties:
|
|
.Ql search-forward
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql search-backward
|
|
search for a regular expression;
|
|
the
|
|
.Ql -text
|
|
variants search for a plain text string rather than a regular expression;
|
|
.Ql -incremental
|
|
perform an incremental search and expect to be used with the
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
flag to the
|
|
.Ic command-prompt
|
|
command.
|
|
.Ql search-again
|
|
repeats the last search and
|
|
.Ql search-reverse
|
|
does the same but reverses the direction (forward becomes backward and backward
|
|
becomes forward).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Copy commands may take an optional buffer prefix argument which is used
|
|
to generate the buffer name (the default is
|
|
.Ql buffer
|
|
so buffers are named
|
|
.Ql buffer0 ,
|
|
.Ql buffer1
|
|
and so on).
|
|
Pipe commands take a command argument which is the command to which the
|
|
selected text is piped.
|
|
.Ql copy-pipe
|
|
variants also copy the selection.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ql -and-cancel
|
|
variants of some commands exit copy mode after they have completed (for copy
|
|
commands) or when the cursor reaches the bottom (for scrolling commands).
|
|
.Ql -no-clear
|
|
variants do not clear the selection.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The next and previous word keys skip over whitespace and treat consecutive
|
|
runs of either word separators or other letters as words.
|
|
Word separators can be customized with the
|
|
.Em 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.
|
|
Setting
|
|
.Em word-separators
|
|
to the empty string makes next/previous word equivalent to next/previous space.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The jump commands enable quick movement within a line.
|
|
For instance, typing
|
|
.Ql f
|
|
followed by
|
|
.Ql /
|
|
will move the cursor to the next
|
|
.Ql /
|
|
character on the current line.
|
|
A
|
|
.Ql \&;
|
|
will then jump to the next occurrence.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The synopsis for the
|
|
.Ic copy-mode
|
|
command is:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Xo Ic copy-mode
|
|
.Op Fl eHMqu
|
|
.Op Fl s Ar src-pane
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-pane
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Enter copy mode.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
option scrolls one page up.
|
|
.Fl M
|
|
begins a mouse drag (only valid if bound to a mouse key binding, see
|
|
.Sx MOUSE SUPPORT ) .
|
|
.Fl H
|
|
hides the position indicator in the top right.
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
cancels copy mode and any other modes.
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
copies from
|
|
.Ar src-pane
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Ar target-pane .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fl 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:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
bind PageUp copy-mode -eu
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A number of preset arrangements of panes are available, these are called layouts.
|
|
These may be selected with the
|
|
.Ic select-layout
|
|
command or cycled with
|
|
.Ic next-layout
|
|
(bound to
|
|
.Ql Space
|
|
by default); once a layout is chosen, panes within it may be moved and resized
|
|
as normal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following layouts are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Ic even-horizontal
|
|
Panes are spread out evenly from left to right across the window.
|
|
.It Ic even-vertical
|
|
Panes are spread evenly from top to bottom.
|
|
.It Ic 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
|
|
.Em main-pane-height
|
|
window option to specify the height of the top pane.
|
|
.It Ic main-vertical
|
|
Similar to
|
|
.Ic main-horizontal
|
|
but the large pane is placed on the left and the others spread from top to
|
|
bottom along the right.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Em main-pane-width
|
|
window option.
|
|
.It Ic tiled
|
|
Panes are spread out as evenly as possible over the window in both rows and
|
|
columns.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition,
|
|
.Ic select-layout
|
|
may be used to apply a previously used layout - the
|
|
.Ic list-windows
|
|
command displays the layout of each window in a form suitable for use with
|
|
.Ic select-layout .
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ 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}
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands related to windows and panes are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds

|
|
Break
|
|
.Ar src-pane
|
|
off from its containing window to make it the only pane in
|
|
.Ar dst-window .
|
|
With
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl b ,
|
|
the window is moved to the next index after or before (existing windows are
|
|
moved if necessary).
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
is given, the new window does not become the current window.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
option prints information about the new window after it has been created.
|
|
By default, it uses the format
|
|
.Ql #{session_name}:#{window_index}.#{pane_index}
|
|
but a different format may be specified with
|
|
.Fl F .
|

|
|
If
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
is given, the output goes to stdout, otherwise to the buffer specified with
|
|
.Fl b
|
|
or a new buffer if omitted.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl 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
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
is given.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl e
|
|
is given, the output includes escape sequences for text and background
|
|
attributes.
|
|
.Fl C
|
|
also escapes non-printable characters as octal \exxx.
|
|
.Fl N
|
|
preserves trailing spaces at each line's end and
|
|
.Fl J
|
|
preserves trailing spaces and joins any wrapped lines.
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
captures only any output that the pane has received that is the beginning of an
|
|
as-yet incomplete escape sequence.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fl S
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl 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.
|
|
.Ql -
|
|
to
|
|
.Fl S
|
|
is the start of the history and to
|
|
.Fl E

is used.

|
|
option specifies the size of the new pane in lines (for vertical split) or in
|
|
columns (for horizontal split);
|
|
.Ar size
|
|
may be followed by
|
|
.Ql %
|
|
to specify a percentage of the available space.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl b
|
|
option causes the new pane to be created to the left of or above
|
|
.Ar target-pane .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option creates a new pane spanning the full window height (with
|
|
.Fl h )
|
|
or full window width (with
|
|
.Fl v ) ,
|
|
instead of splitting the active pane.
|
|
.Fl Z
|
|
zooms if the window is not zoomed, or keeps it zoomed if already zoomed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An empty
|
|
.Ar shell-command
|
|
('') will create a pane with no command running in it.
|
|
Output can be sent to such a pane with the
|
|
.Ic display-message
|
|
command.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl I
|
|
flag (if
|
|
.Ar shell-command
|
|
is not specified or empty)
|
|
will create an empty pane and forward any output from stdin to it.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ make 2>&1|tmux splitw -dI &
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp

.Fl U
|
|
is used and no source pane is specified with
|
|
.Fl s ,
|
|
.Ar dst-pane

is swapped with the previous pane (before it numerically);
|
|
.Fl D
|
|
swaps with the next pane (after it numerically).
|
|
.Fl d
|

.Ic link-window ,
|
|
except the source and destination windows are swapped.
|
|
It is an error if no window exists at
|
|
.Ar src-window .

.Sh KEY BINDINGS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
allows a command to be bound to most keys, with or without a prefix key.
|
|
When specifying keys, most represent themselves (for example
|
|
.Ql A
|
|
to
|
|
.Ql Z ) .
|
|
Ctrl keys may be prefixed with
|
|
.Ql C-
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql ^ ,
|
|
Shift keys with
|
|
.Ql S-
|
|
and Alt (meta) with
|
|
.Ql M- .
|
|
In addition, the following special key names are accepted:
|
|
.Em Up ,
|
|
.Em Down ,
|
|
.Em Left ,
|
|
.Em Right ,
|
|
.Em BSpace ,
|
|
.Em BTab ,
|
|
.Em DC
|
|
(Delete),
|
|
.Em End ,
|
|
.Em Enter ,
|
|
.Em Escape ,
|
|
.Em F1
|
|
to
|
|
.Em F12 ,
|
|
.Em Home ,
|
|
.Em IC
|
|
(Insert),
|
|
.Em NPage/PageDown/PgDn ,
|
|
.Em PPage/PageUp/PgUp ,
|
|
.Em Space ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Em Tab .
|
|
Note that to bind the
|
|
.Ql \&"
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql '
|
|
keys, quotation marks are necessary, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
bind-key '"' split-window
|
|
bind-key "'" new-window
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A command bound to the
|
|
.Em Any
|
|
key will execute for all keys which do not have a more specific binding.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands related to key bindings are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Xo Ic bind-key
|
|
.Op Fl nr
|
|
.Op Fl N Ar note
|
|
.Op Fl T Ar key-table
|
|
.Ar key command Op Ar arguments
|
|
.Xc
|
|
.D1 (alias: Ic bind )
|
|
Bind key
|
|
.Ar key
|
|
to
|
|
.Ar command .
|
|
Keys are bound in a key table.
|
|
By default (without -T), the key is bound in
|
|
the
|
|
.Em prefix
|
|
key table.
|
|
This table is used for keys pressed after the prefix key (for example,
|
|
by default
|
|
.Ql c
|
|
is bound to
|
|
.Ic new-window
|
|
in the
|
|
.Em prefix
|
|
table, so
|
|
.Ql C-b c
|
|
creates a new window).
|
|
The
|
|
.Em root
|
|
table is used for keys pressed without the prefix key: binding
|
|
.Ql c
|
|
to
|
|
.Ic new-window
|
|
in the
|
|
.Em root
|
|
table (not recommended) means a plain
|
|
.Ql c
|
|
will create a new window.
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
is an alias
|
|
for
|
|
.Fl T Ar root .
|
|
Keys may also be bound in custom key tables and the
|
|
.Ic switch-client
|
|
.Fl T
|
|
command used to switch to them from a key binding.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
flag indicates this key may repeat, see the
|
|
.Ic repeat-time
|
|
option.
|
|
.Fl N
|
|
attaches a note to the key (shown with
|
|
.Ic list-keys
|
|
.Fl N ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To view the default bindings and possible commands, see the

commands;
|
|
.Fl N
|
|
lists only keys with attached notes and shows only the key and note for each

.D1 (alias: Ic send )
|
|
Send a key or keys to a window.
|
|
Each argument
|
|
.Ar key
|
|
is the name of the key (such as
|
|
.Ql C-a
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql NPage )
|
|
to send; if the string is not recognised as a key, it is sent as a series of
|
|
characters.
|
|
All arguments are sent sequentially from first to last.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
flag disables key name lookup and processes the keys as literal UTF-8
|
|
characters.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl H
|
|
flag expects each key to be a hexadecimal number for an ASCII character.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl R
|

|
|
.Fl n
|
|
and
|

.Fl T
|
|
are the same as for

|
|
If
|

.El
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The appearance and behaviour of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be modified by changing the value of various options.
|
|
There are four types of option:
|
|
.Em server options ,
|
|
.Em session options ,
|
|
.Em window options ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Em pane options .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server has a set of global server options which do not apply to any particular
|
|
window or session or pane.
|
|
These are altered with the
|
|
.Ic set-option
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
command, or displayed with the
|
|
.Ic show-options
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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
|
|
.Ic set-option
|
|
command and may be listed with the
|
|
.Ic show-options
|
|
command.
|
|
The available server and session options are listed under the
|
|
.Ic set-option
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Similarly, a set of window options is attached to each window and a set of pane
|
|
options to each pane.
|
|
Pane options inherit from window options.
|
|
This means any pane option may be set as a window option to apply the option to
|
|
all panes in the window without the option set, for example these commands will
|
|
set the background colour to red for all panes except pane 0:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set -w window-style bg=red
|
|
set -pt:.0 window-style bg=blue
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is also a set of global window options from which any unset window or
|
|
pane options are inherited.
|
|
Window and pane options are altered with
|
|
.Ic set-option
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
commands and displayed with
|
|
.Ic show-option
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl p .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
also supports user options which are prefixed with a
|
|
.Ql \&@ .
|
|
User options may have any name, so long as they are prefixed with
|
|
.Ql \&@ ,
|
|
and be set to any string.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux set -wq @foo "abc123"
|
|
$ tmux show -wv @foo
|
|
abc123
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands which set options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Xo Ic set-option
|
|
.Op Fl aFgopqsuUw
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-pane
|
|
.Ar option Ar value
|
|
.Xc
|
|
.D1 (alias: Ic set )
|
|
Set a pane option with
|
|
.Fl p ,
|
|
a window option with
|
|
.Fl w ,
|
|
a server option with
|
|
.Fl s ,
|
|
otherwise a session option.
|
|
If the option is not a user option,
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
may be unnecessary -
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will infer the type from the option name, assuming
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
for pane options.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl g
|
|
is given, the global session or window option is set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
expands formats in the option value.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
flag unsets an option, so a session inherits the option from the global
|
|
options (or with
|
|
.Fl g ,
|
|
restores a global option to the default).
|
|
.Fl U
|
|
unsets an option (like
|
|
.Fl u )
|
|
but if the option is a pane option also unsets the option on any panes in the
|
|
window.
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
depends on the option and may be a number, a string, or a flag (on, off, or
|
|
omitted to toggle).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
flag prevents setting an option that is already set and the
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
flag suppresses errors about unknown or ambiguous options.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
With
|
|
.Fl a ,
|
|
and if the option expects a string or a style,
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
is appended to the existing setting.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set -g status-left "foo"
|
|
set -ag status-left "bar"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Will result in
|
|
.Ql foobar .
|
|
And:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set -g status-style "bg=red"
|
|
set -ag status-style "fg=blue"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Will result in a red background
|
|
.Em and
|
|
blue foreground.
|
|
Without
|
|
.Fl a ,
|
|
the result would be the default background and a blue foreground.

|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-pane
|
|
.Op Ar option

Show the pane options (or a single option if
|
|
.Ar option
|
|
is provided) with
|
|
.Fl p ,
|
|
the window options with
|
|
.Fl w ,
|
|
the server options with
|
|
.Fl s ,
|
|
otherwise the session options.
|
|
If the option is not a user option,
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
may be unnecessary -
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will infer the type from the option name, assuming
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
for pane options.
|
|
Global session or window options are listed if
|
|
.Fl g
|
|
is used.
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
shows only the option value, not the name.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
is set, no error will be returned if
|
|
.Ar option
|
|
is unset.
|
|
.Fl H
|
|
includes hooks (omitted by default).
|
|
.Fl A
|
|
includes options inherited from a parent set of options, such options are
|
|
marked with an asterisk.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Available server options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Ic backspace Ar key
|
|
Set the key sent by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
for backspace.
|
|
.It Ic buffer-limit Ar 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.
|
|
.It Xo Ic command-alias[]
|
|
.Ar name=value
|
|
.Xc
|
|
This is an array of custom aliases for commands.
|
|
If an unknown command matches
|
|
.Ar name ,
|
|
it is replaced with
|
|
.Ar value .
|
|
For example, after:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl set -s command-alias[100] zoom='resize-pane -Z'
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Using:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl zoom -t:.1
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Is equivalent to:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl resize-pane -Z -t:.1
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that aliases are expanded when a command is parsed rather than when it is
|
|
executed, so binding an alias with
|
|
.Ic bind-key
|
|
will bind the expanded form.
|
|
.It Ic default-terminal Ar terminal
|
|
Set the default terminal for new windows created in this session - the
|
|
default value of the
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
For
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to work correctly, this

.Ic copy-pipe
|
|
copy mode command is used without arguments.
|
|
.It Ic escape-time Ar time
|
|
Set the time in milliseconds for which
|
|
.Nm
|
|
waits after an escape is input to determine if it is part of a function or meta
|
|
key sequences.
|
|
The default is 500 milliseconds.
|

runs an editor.
|
|
.It Xo Ic exit-empty

|
|
.It Xo Ic exit-unattached
|
|
.Op Ic on | off
|

If enabled, the server will exit when there are no attached clients.
|
|
.It Xo Ic extended-keys
|
|
.Op Ic on | off | always
|
|
.Xc
|
|
When
|
|
.Ic on
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic always ,
|
|
the escape sequence to enable extended keys is sent to the terminal, if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
knows that it is supported.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
always recognises extended keys itself.
|
|
If this option is
|

.Ic on ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will only forward extended keys to applications when they request them; if

.Sh HOOKS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
allows commands to run on various triggers, called
|
|
.Em hooks .
|
|
Most
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands have an
|
|
.Em after
|
|
hook and there are a number of hooks not associated with commands.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Hooks are stored as array options, members of the array are executed in
|
|
order when the hook is triggered.
|
|
Like options different hooks may be global or belong to a session, window or pane.
|
|
Hooks may be configured with the
|
|
.Ic set-hook
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic set-option
|
|
commands and displayed with
|
|
.Ic show-hooks
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic show-options
|
|
.Fl H .
|
|
The following two commands are equivalent:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent.
|
|
set-hook -g pane-mode-changed[42] 'set -g status-left-style bg=red'
|
|
set-option -g pane-mode-changed[42] 'set -g status-left-style bg=red'
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Setting a hook without specifying an array index clears the hook and sets the
|
|
first member of the array.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A command's after
|
|
hook is run after it completes, except when the command is run as part of a hook
|
|
itself.
|
|
They are named with an
|
|
.Ql after-
|
|
prefix.
|
|
For example, the following command adds a hook to select the even-vertical
|
|
layout after every
|
|
.Ic split-window :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set-hook -g after-split-window "selectl even-vertical"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All the notifications listed in the
|
|
.Sx CONTROL MODE
|
|
section are hooks (without any arguments), except
|
|
.Ic %exit .
|
|
The following additional hooks are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
|
|

|
If the

|
|
option is on (the default is off),
|
|
.Nm

|
allows mouse events to be bound as keys.
|
|
The name of each key is made up of a mouse event (such as
|
|
.Ql MouseUp1 )
|
|
and a location suffix, one of the following:
|
|
.Bl -column "XXXXXXXXXXXXX" -offset indent
|
|
.It Li "Pane" Ta "the contents of a pane"
|
|
.It Li "Border" Ta "a pane border"
|

|
|
.It Li "StatusDefault" Ta "any other part of the status line"
|

|

The following mouse events are available:
|

.Bl -column "MouseDown1" "MouseDrag1" "WheelDown" -offset indent
|

.It Li "WheelUp" Ta "WheelDown" Ta ""
|
|

|
|
.It Li "TripleClick1" Ta "TripleClick2" Ta "TripleClick3"
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ql SecondClick
|
|
events are fired for the second click of a double click, even if there may be a
|
|
third click which will fire
|
|
.Ql TripleClick
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Ql DoubleClick .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each should be suffixed with a location, for example
|
|
.Ql MouseDown1Status .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The special token
|
|
.Ql {mouse}
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql =
|
|
may be used as
|
|
.Ar target-window
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar 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
|
|
.Ql MouseUp1Status
|
|
binding, or the pane over which the wheel was scrolled for a
|
|
.Ql WheelDownPane
|
|
binding).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic send-keys
|
|
.Fl M
|
|
flag may be used to forward a mouse event to a pane.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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
|
|
.Ic mouse
|
|
option is turned on.
|
|
.Sh FORMATS
|
|
Certain commands accept the
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
flag with a
|
|
.Ar format
|
|
argument.
|
|
This is a string which controls the output format of the command.
|
|
Format variables are enclosed in
|
|
.Ql #{
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql } ,
|
|
for example
|
|
.Ql #{session_name} .
|
|
The possible variables are listed in the table below, or the name of a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
option may be used for an option's value.
|
|
Some variables have a shorter alias such as
|
|
.Ql #S ;
|
|
.Ql ##
|
|
is replaced by a single
|
|
.Ql # ,
|
|
.Ql #,
|
|
by a
|
|
.Ql \&,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql #}
|
|
by a
|
|
.Ql } .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Conditionals are available by prefixing with
|
|
.Ql \&?
|
|
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
|
|
.Ql #{?session_attached,attached,not attached}
|
|
will include the string
|
|
.Ql attached
|
|
if the session is attached and the string
|
|
.Ql not attached
|
|
if it is unattached, or
|
|
.Ql #{?automatic-rename,yes,no}
|
|
will include
|
|
.Ql yes
|
|
if
|
|
.Ic automatic-rename
|
|
is enabled, or
|
|
.Ql no
|
|
if not.
|
|
Conditionals can be nested arbitrarily.
|
|
Inside a conditional,
|
|
.Ql \&,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql }
|
|
must be escaped as
|
|
.Ql #,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql #} ,
|
|
unless they are part of a
|
|
.Ql #{...}
|
|
replacement.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
#{?pane_in_mode,#[fg=white#,bg=red],#[fg=red#,bg=white]}#W .
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
String comparisons may be expressed by prefixing two comma-separated
|
|
alternatives by
|
|
.Ql == ,
|
|
.Ql != ,
|
|
.Ql < ,
|
|
.Ql > ,
|
|
.Ql <=
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql >=
|
|
and a colon.
|
|
For example
|
|
.Ql #{==:#{host},myhost}
|
|
will be replaced by
|
|
.Ql 1
|
|
if running on
|
|
.Ql myhost ,
|
|
otherwise by
|
|
.Ql 0 .
|
|
.Ql ||
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql &&
|
|
evaluate to true if either or both of two comma-separated alternatives are
|
|
true, for example
|
|
.Ql #{||:#{pane_in_mode},#{alternate_on}} .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An
|
|
.Ql m
|
|
specifies an
|
|
.Xr fnmatch 3
|
|
or regular expression comparison.
|
|
The first argument is the pattern and the second the string to compare.
|
|
An optional argument specifies flags:
|
|
.Ql r
|
|
means the pattern is a regular expression instead of the default
|
|
.Xr fnmatch 3
|
|
pattern, and
|
|
.Ql i
|
|
means to ignore case.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Ql #{m:*foo*,#{host}}
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql #{m/ri:^A,MYVAR} .
|
|
A
|
|
.Ql C
|
|
performs a search for an
|
|
.Xr fnmatch 3
|
|
pattern or regular expression in the pane content and evaluates to zero if not
|
|
found, or a line number if found.
|
|
Like
|
|
.Ql m ,
|
|
an
|
|
.Ql r
|
|
flag means search for a regular expression and
|
|
.Ql i
|
|
ignores case.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Ql #{C/r:^Start}
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Numeric operators may be performed by prefixing two comma-separated alternatives with an
|
|
.Ql e
|
|
and an operator.
|
|
An optional
|
|
.Ql f
|
|
flag may be given after the operator to use floating point numbers, otherwise integers are used.
|
|
This may be followed by a number giving the number of decimal places to use for the result.
|
|
The available operators are:
|
|
addition
|
|
.Ql + ,
|
|
subtraction
|
|
.Ql - ,
|
|
multiplication
|
|
.Ql * ,
|
|
division
|
|
.Ql / ,
|
|
modulus
|
|
.Ql m
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql %
|
|
(note that
|
|
.Ql %
|
|
must be escaped as
|
|
.Ql %%
|
|
in formats which are also expanded by
|
|
.Xr strftime 3 )
|
|
and numeric comparison operators
|
|
.Ql == ,
|
|
.Ql != ,
|
|
.Ql < ,
|
|
.Ql <= ,
|
|
.Ql >
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql >= .
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Ql #{e|*|f|4:5.5,3}
|
|
multiplies 5.5 by 3 for a result with four decimal places and
|
|
.Ql #{e|%%:7,3}
|
|
returns the modulus of 7 and 3.
|
|
.Ql a
|
|
replaces a numeric argument by its ASCII equivalent, so
|
|
.Ql #{a:98}
|
|
results in
|
|
.Ql b .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A limit may be placed on the length of the resultant string by prefixing it
|
|
by an
|
|
.Ql = ,
|
|
a number and a colon.
|
|
Positive numbers count from the start of the string and negative from the end,
|
|
so
|
|
.Ql #{=5:pane_title}
|
|
will include at most the first five characters of the pane title, or
|
|
.Ql #{=-5:pane_title}
|
|
the last five characters.
|
|
A suffix or prefix may be given as a second argument - if provided then it is
|
|
appended or prepended to the string if the length has been trimmed, for example
|
|
.Ql #{=/5/...:pane_title}
|
|
will append
|
|
.Ql ...
|
|
if the pane title is more than five characters.
|
|
Similarly,
|
|
.Ql p
|
|
pads the string to a given width, for example
|
|
.Ql #{p10:pane_title}
|
|
will result in a width of at least 10 characters.
|
|
A positive width pads on the left, a negative on the right.
|
|
.Ql n
|
|
expands to the length of the variable and
|
|
.Ql w
|
|
to its width when displayed, for example
|
|
.Ql #{n:window_name} .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Prefixing a time variable with
|
|
.Ql t:\&
|
|
will convert it to a string, so if
|
|
.Ql #{window_activity}
|
|
gives
|
|
.Ql 1445765102 ,
|
|
.Ql #{t:window_activity}
|
|
gives
|
|
.Ql Sun Oct 25 09:25:02 2015 .
|
|
Adding
|
|
.Ql p (
|
|
.Ql `t/p` )
|
|
will use shorter but less accurate time format for times in the past.
|
|
A custom format may be given using an
|
|
.Ql f
|
|
suffix (note that
|
|
.Ql %
|
|
must be escaped as
|
|
.Ql %%
|
|
if the format is separately being passed through
|
|
.Xr strftime 3 ,
|
|
for example in the
|
|
.Ic status-left
|
|
option):
|
|
.Ql #{t/f/%%H#:%%M:window_activity} ,
|
|
see
|
|
.Xr strftime 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ql b:\&
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql d:\&
|
|
prefixes are
|
|
.Xr basename 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr dirname 3
|
|
of the variable respectively.
|
|
.Ql q:\&
|
|
will escape
|
|
.Xr sh 1
|
|
special characters or with a
|
|
.Ql h
|
|
suffix, escape hash characters (so
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
becomes
|
|
.Ql ## ) .
|
|
.Ql E:\&
|
|
will expand the format twice, for example
|
|
.Ql #{E:status-left}
|
|
is the result of expanding the content of the
|
|
.Ic status-left
|
|
option rather than the option itself.
|
|
.Ql T:\&
|
|
is like
|
|
.Ql E:\&
|
|
but also expands
|
|
.Xr strftime 3
|
|
specifiers.
|
|
.Ql S:\& ,
|
|
.Ql W:\&
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql P:\&
|
|
will loop over each session, window or pane and insert the format once
|
|
for each.
|
|
For windows and panes, two comma-separated formats may be given:
|
|
the second is used for the current window or active pane.
|
|
For example, to get a list of windows formatted like the status line:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
#{W:#{E:window-status-format} ,#{E:window-status-current-format} }
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ql N:\&
|
|
checks if a window (without any suffix or with the
|
|
.Ql w
|
|
suffix) or a session (with the
|
|
.Ql s
|
|
suffix) name exists, for example
|
|
.Ql `N/w:foo`
|
|
is replaced with 1 if a window named
|
|
.Ql foo
|
|
exists.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A prefix of the form
|
|
.Ql s/foo/bar/:\&
|
|
will substitute
|
|
.Ql foo
|
|
with
|
|
.Ql bar
|
|
throughout.
|
|
The first argument may be an extended regular expression and a final argument may be
|
|
.Ql i
|
|
to ignore case, for example
|
|
.Ql s/a(.)/\e1x/i:\&
|
|
would change
|
|
.Ql abABab
|
|
into
|
|
.Ql bxBxbx .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition, the last line of a shell command's output may be inserted using
|
|
.Ql #() .
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Ql #(uptime)
|
|
will insert the system's uptime.
|
|
When constructing formats,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not wait for
|
|
.Ql #()
|
|
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.
|
|
If the command hasn't exited, the most recent line of output will be used, but the status
|
|
line will not be updated more than once a second.
|
|
Commands are executed with the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
global environment set (see the
|
|
.Sx GLOBAL AND SESSION ENVIRONMENT
|
|
section).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An
|
|
.Ql l
|
|
specifies that a string should be interpreted literally and not expanded.
|
|
For example
|
|
.Ql #{l:#{?pane_in_mode,yes,no}}
|
|
will be replaced by
|
|
.Ql #{?pane_in_mode,yes,no} .
|

.Sh NAMES AND TITLES
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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
|
|
.Nm
|
|
identifier for a window or session.
|
|
Only panes have titles.
|
|
A pane's title is typically set by the program running inside the pane using
|
|
an escape sequence (like it would set the
|
|
.Xr xterm 1
|
|
window title in
|
|
.Xr X 7 ) .
|
|
Windows themselves do not have titles - a window's title is the title of its
|
|
active pane.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
itself may set the title of the terminal in which the client is running, see
|
|
the
|
|
.Ic set-titles
|
|
option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A session's name is set with the
|
|
.Ic new-session
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic rename-session
|
|
commands.
|
|
A window's name is set with one of:
|
|
.Bl -enum -width Ds
|
|
.It
|
|
A command argument (such as
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
for
|
|
.Ic new-window
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic new-session ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
An escape sequence (if the
|
|
.Ic allow-rename
|
|
option is turned on):
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ printf '\e033kWINDOW_NAME\e033\e\e'
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It
|
|
Automatic renaming, which sets the name to the active command in the window's
|
|
active pane.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Ic automatic-rename
|
|
option.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When a pane is first created, its title is the hostname.
|
|
A pane's title can be set via the title setting escape sequence, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ printf '\e033]2;My Title\e033\e\e'
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It can also be modified with the
|
|
.Ic select-pane
|
|
.Fl T
|
|
command.
|
|
.Sh GLOBAL AND SESSION ENVIRONMENT
|
|
When the server is started,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
copies the environment into the
|
|
.Em global environment ;
|
|
in addition, each session has a
|
|
.Em 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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic 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.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
also initialises the
|
|
.Ev TMUX
|
|
variable with some internal information to allow commands to be executed
|
|
from inside, and the
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
variable with the correct terminal setting of
|
|
.Ql screen .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Variables in both session and global environments may be marked as hidden.
|
|
Hidden variables are not passed into the environment of new processes and
|
|
instead can only be used by tmux itself (for example in formats, see the
|
|
.Sx FORMATS
|
|
section).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands to alter and view the environment are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Xo Ic set-environment
|
|
.Op Fl Fhgru
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-session
|
|
.Ar name Op Ar value
|
|
.Xc
|
|
.D1 (alias: Ic setenv )
|
|
Set or unset an environment variable.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl g
|
|
is used, the change is made in the global environment; otherwise, it is applied
|
|
to the session environment for
|
|
.Ar target-session .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
is present, then
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
is expanded as a format.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
flag unsets a variable.
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
indicates the variable is to be removed from the environment before starting a
|
|
new process.
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
marks the variable as hidden.
|
|
.It Xo Ic show-environment
|
|
.Op Fl hgs
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-session
|
|
.Op Ar variable
|
|
.Xc
|
|
.D1 (alias: Ic showenv )
|
|
Display the environment for
|
|
.Ar target-session
|
|
or the global environment with
|
|
.Fl g .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar variable
|
|
is omitted, all variables are shown.
|
|
Variables removed from the environment are prefixed with
|
|
.Ql - .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
is used, the output is formatted as a set of Bourne shell commands.
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
shows hidden variables (omitted by default).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh STATUS LINE
|
|
.Nm
|
|
includes an optional status line which is displayed in the bottom line of each
|
|
terminal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default, the status line is enabled and one line in height (it may be
|
|
disabled or made multiple lines with the
|
|
.Ic 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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each line of the status line is configured with the
|
|
.Ic status-format
|
|
option.
|
|
The default 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
|
|
.Ic status-left ,
|
|
.Ic status-left-length ,
|
|
.Ic status-right ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic 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
|
|
.Ar window-status-format
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar window-status-current-format
|
|
options.
|
|
The flag is one of the following symbols appended to the window name:
|
|
.Bl -column "Symbol" "Meaning" -offset indent
|
|
.It Sy "Symbol" Ta Sy "Meaning"
|
|
.It Li "*" Ta "Denotes the current window."
|
|
.It Li "-" Ta "Marks the last window (previously selected)."
|
|
.It Li "#" Ta "Window activity is monitored and activity has been detected."
|
|
.It Li "\&!" Ta "Window bells are monitored and a bell has occurred in the window."
|
|
.It Li "~" Ta "The window has been silent for the monitor-silence interval."
|
|
.It Li "M" Ta "The window contains the marked pane."
|
|
.It Li "Z" Ta "The window's active pane is zoomed."
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The # symbol relates to the
|
|
.Ic monitor-activity
|
|
window option.
|
|
The window name is printed in inverted colours if an alert (bell, activity or
|
|
silence) is present.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The colour and attributes of the status line may be configured, the entire
|
|
status line using the
|
|
.Ic status-style
|
|
session option and individual windows using the
|
|
.Ic window-status-style
|
|
window option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The status line is automatically refreshed at interval if it has changed, the
|
|
interval may be controlled with the
|
|
.Ic status-interval
|
|
session option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands related to the status line are as follows:

Each menu consists of items followed by a key shortcut shown in brackets.
|
|
If the menu is too large to fit on the terminal, it is not displayed.
|
|
Pressing the key shortcut chooses the corresponding item.
|
|
If the mouse is enabled and the menu is opened from a mouse key binding,
|
|
releasing the mouse button with an item selected chooses that item and
|
|
releasing the mouse button without an item selected closes the menu.
|
|
.Fl O

|
|
.Nm
|
|
maintains a set of named
|
|
.Em paste buffers .
|
|
Each buffer may be either explicitly or automatically named.
|
|
Explicitly named buffers are named when created with the
|
|
.Ic set-buffer
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic load-buffer
|
|
commands, or by renaming an automatically named buffer with
|
|
.Ic set-buffer
|
|
.Fl n .
|
|
Automatically named buffers are given a name such as
|
|
.Ql buffer0001 ,
|
|
.Ql buffer0002
|
|
and so on.
|
|
When the
|
|
.Ic buffer-limit
|
|
option is reached, the oldest automatically named buffer is deleted.
|
|
Explicitly named buffers are not subject to
|
|
.Ic buffer-limit
|
|
and may be deleted with the
|
|
.Ic delete-buffer
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Buffers may be added using
|
|
.Ic copy-mode
|
|
or the
|
|
.Ic set-buffer
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic load-buffer
|
|
commands, and pasted into a window using the
|
|
.Ic paste-buffer
|
|
command.
|
|
If a buffer command is used and no buffer is specified, the most
|
|
recently added automatically named buffer is assumed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A configurable history buffer is also maintained for each window.
|
|
By default, up to 2000 lines are kept; this can be altered with the
|
|
.Ic history-limit
|
|
option (see the
|
|
.Ic set-option
|
|
command above).
|

Put a pane into buffer mode, where a buffer may be chosen interactively from
|
|
a list.
|
|
Each buffer is shown on one line.
|
|
A shortcut key is shown on the left in brackets allowing for immediate choice,
|
|
or the list may be navigated and an item chosen or otherwise manipulated using
|
|
the keys below.
|
|
.Fl Z
|
|
zooms the pane.
|

|
|
.Fl r
|
|
reverses the sort order.
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
specifies an initial filter: the filter is a format - if it evaluates to zero,
|
|
the item in the list is not shown, otherwise it is shown.
|
|
If a filter would lead to an empty list, it is ignored.
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
specifies the format for each item in the list and
|
|
.Fl K
|
|
a format for each shortcut key; both are evaluated once for each line.

.Sh CONTROL MODE
|
|
.Nm
|
|
offers a textual interface called
|
|
.Em control mode .
|
|
This allows applications to communicate with
|
|
.Nm
|
|
using a simple text-only protocol.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In control mode, a client sends
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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
|
|
.Em %begin
|
|
line followed by the output (which may be empty).
|
|
The output block ends with a
|
|
.Em %end
|
|
or
|
|
.Em %error .
|
|
.Em %begin
|
|
and matching
|
|
.Em %end
|
|
or
|
|
.Em %error
|
|
have three arguments: an integer time (as seconds from epoch), command number and
|
|
flags (currently not used).
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
%begin 1363006971 2 1
|
|

.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is started, it inspects the following environment variables:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width LC_CTYPE
|
|
.It Ev EDITOR
|
|
If the command specified in this variable contains the string
|
|
.Ql vi
|
|
and
|
|
.Ev VISUAL
|
|
is unset, use vi-style key bindings.
|
|

options.
|
|
.It Ev HOME
|
|
The user's login directory.
|
|
If unset, the
|
|
.Xr passwd 5
|
|
database is consulted.
|
|
.It Ev LC_CTYPE
|
|
The character encoding
|
|
.Xr locale 1 .
|
|
It is used for two separate purposes.
|
|
For output to the terminal, UTF-8 is used if the
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
option is given or if
|
|
.Ev LC_CTYPE
|
|
contains
|
|
.Qq UTF-8
|
|
or
|
|
.Qq UTF8 .
|
|
Otherwise, only ASCII characters are written and non-ASCII characters
|
|
are replaced with underscores
|
|
.Pq Ql _ .
|
|
For input,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
always runs with a UTF-8 locale.
|
|
If en_US.UTF-8 is provided by the operating system it is used and
|
|
.Ev LC_CTYPE
|
|
is ignored for input.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.Ev LC_CTYPE
|
|
tells
|
|
.Nm
|
|
what the UTF-8 locale is called on the current system.
|
|
If the locale specified by
|
|
.Ev LC_CTYPE
|
|
is not available or is not a UTF-8 locale,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits with an error message.
|
|
.It Ev LC_TIME
|
|
The date and time format
|
|
.Xr locale 1 .
|
|
It is used for locale-dependent
|
|
.Xr strftime 3
|
|
format specifiers.
|
|
.It Ev PWD
|
|
The current working directory to be set in the global environment.
|
|
This may be useful if it contains symbolic links.
|
|
If the value of the variable does not match the current working
|
|
directory, the variable is ignored and the result of
|
|
.Xr getcwd 3
|
|
is used instead.
|
|
.It Ev SHELL
|
|
The absolute path to the default shell for new windows.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Ic default-shell
|
|
option for details.
|
|
.It Ev TMUX_TMPDIR
|
|
The parent directory of the directory containing the server sockets.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
option for details.
|

.Pp
|
|
.Dl $ tmux new vi
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, the shortest unambiguous form of a command is accepted.
|
|
If there are several options, they are listed:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux n
|
|
ambiguous command: n, could be: new-session, new-window, next-window
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Within an active session, a new window may be created by typing
|
|
.Ql C-b c
|
|

|
(to select window 0),
|
|
.Ql C-b 1
|
|
(to select window 1), and so on;
|
|
.Ql C-b n
|
|
to select the next window; and
|
|
.Ql C-b p
|
|
to select the previous window.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A session may be detached using
|
|
.Ql C-b d
|
|
(or by an external event such as
|
|
.Xr ssh 1
|
|
disconnection) and reattached with:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl $ tmux attach-session
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Typing
|
|
.Ql C-b \&?
|
|
lists the current key bindings in the current window; up and down may be used
|
|
to navigate the list or
|
|
.Ql q
|
|
to exit from it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands to be run when the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server is started may be placed in the
|
|
.Pa ~/.tmux.conf
|
|
configuration file.
