Usually I feel like a lot of linux, techy and nerdy stuff is explained like poop, with very low quality quality, editing and no mustache, you’re the exception, you’re amazing, keep your amazing work. You got a new subscriber
Killer feature for me was when I was learning bare metal Kubernetes and had to manually build 3 identical worker nodes. : setw synchronize-panes will send key presses to all panes in the window. Repeat the command to turn it off. I had 3 panes each ssh'd onto a node all receiving the same commands. It was glorious - but nobody seems to talk about that feature!
I started using tmux occasionally about 3 years ago, just for session sharing. But your older videos about tmux made me coolest kid around the block :) I’ve even purchased bigger 4k screen to have everything I am doing collected together in tmux. Looking forward for the series, I know in your presentation style, this will be a good one! This particular video is amazing and refreshing as well. Helped to recheck what we know about this money making tool 😂
This was great for the 1st video of a series, massive respect for que quality of the content and the editing, I am subscribed for life. Hope I get to see how all of the tmux power can come to life in a work environment (: Cheers from Mexico City
I've heard a lot of good things about tmux and was thinking "yeah, one day I should try it", but only your video actually made me take my laptop and follow the tutorial step by step. Thank you.
Found this video right before going to sleep and got that quite interesting and already tryed every step with you. Thank you, can't wait to look more videos.
Let's go! I was waiting for this video. To be honest, when you explain, I understand better. It helps me learn new things and use them. It was complex for me to understand tmux; watching other videos never worked for me. But when you explained it, it became much clearer to me.
I love this, I was just configuring my tmux yesterday on my linux workstation. I like it so much, especially when i have it setup with my favourite ide within the terminal whether its nvim or emacs. Keep it up, i would love to watch this on daily basis to learn new things with tmux to maximize its power
these are amazing. the kinda stuff primagens "how to be a nvim dev" just briefly skimmed over. u a great teacher too. perfect editing to highlight the important parts but not overshadowing the secondary information. fast enough to mostly hold my attention but slow enough to go over everything cya at 100k subs fam
Thanks for starting a series on the topic, I am sure I will "steal" some ideas from it. 😊 I have been using tmux for quite some time now. I have configured zsh to immediately start a tmux session and I have a shortcut on my work machine to set up all my windows and panes I need via tmuxinator (I have several backend services starting up sequentially by having panes watching the contents of other panes to prevent my machine freezing up etc, works like a charm.) I have had no use of different sessions yet, but who knows...
Tmux always felt confusing to me. This helped a ton. Only thing missing for completeness in my opinion was how to close panes/windows/sessions. Thanks for the great video! EDIT: I hope in the practical application part of this series you'll also mention when you use a different session vs different windows vs different panes, just so newcomers have a decent mental model of how to best use tmux.
I took a break from learning how to use nvim and using the terminal for everything, but after seeing your lazy git and tmux videos I feel hooked again 😎
I have quite a bit of experience with Tmux and i thought this video would be not that useful for me, but then you renamed a window to 'poop'. You sir, have just earned yourself a subscription
I love this! I want to move to tmux (currently using terminator with starship). I've found the configuration for tmux complicated, and loosing my normal copy/paste with a mouse have been hurdles I haven't made it over. I'm hoping to be a new convert!
I've been using Tmux for a long time but it's nice to learn new tips, great video. @typecraft What terminal software are you using? I like the way the different directories are highlighted in you path prompt.
What are the advantages of using tmux as opposed to, say, jumping between multiple terminal windows on the same workspace in a tiling window manager (using linux)?
So at work I use an iMac (or whatever these monitor-is-computer things are called) and a Macbook. I do most of my work on the iMac, but I can't exactly take it with me to a meeting, where I'll use the Macbook. It's sometimes annoying when things aren't in the same state between the two machines. This video gave me the idea to SSH into the iMac from the Macbook... but can I detach from a tmux session on the iMac and then re-attach to it from the MacBook? The section at 4:00 sounds like that should be possible
Are there any benefits performance-wise using tmux 🙂? I'm using whatever multi-pane terminal I have, eg. cmder/Tabby, and it works for me. I kinda like "resetting" everytime, to start from a clean slate, as I change between working on many different projects anyway. Any other benefits, and should I really switch? I'm always interested in improving productivity.
Thanks for this, as someone tmux curious it really helped show the basics. But I'm slightly confused. other than persistence, if I'm on a tiling window manager I can do the same thing pretty much (h/v split, "panes" are virtual desktops)... but I have the same keyboard shortcuts for terminals and gui applications rather than needing two sets of keybinds: one for tmux and one for everything else. I rarely need persistence (since I nix remote deploy, I very infrequently actually log into remote systems) so I'm not sure of the benefits here over a tiling WM which does the same thing
Please let's do arch installation with hyperland full beginner guide next so then i would be able to use Linux on my windows along woth tmux and neovim(lazyvim) absolutely love your videos started with nvim after watching your videos and yeah if you could start a Linux series i would be the happiest nerd .thanks for listening to my bs 😅
Every few month for about 5 years, I have tried to learn tmux. I always crash out when it comes to the keybindings, especially as I am always told "learn the defaults". I came to the comments to complain about them, and noticed I had already done so 7 months earlier 😭. I think it might be time to give up.
At some point, I’m probably going to have to switch from GNU screen to tmux. It’s just that I’ve been using screen for close to 20 years and it’s pretty well incorporated into my muscle memory. Being able to split panes in a window with tmux looks a bit better than how screen does it, at least for a specific use case I wanted to something like that recently. How well does tmux embed sessions within sessions? During my most prolific phase of using screen, I had screen sessions four layers deep, could share the “meta” session with coworkers, pair with them and their view followed my view as I navigated across the different layered sessions. It was a pretty sweet setup given that I needed similar sessions across multiple hosts in multiple environments and needed to swap between them all frequently.
I saw in the video that he is using iTerm2 and asked to explain the difference between that the built in tmux and a manually installed tmux... @typecraft just deleted my comment... 🤷🏻♂ it turns out that if you install and use iTerm2 you have already tmux built in.. you can even just call the command tmux and it will start.
Thanks for the videos. I've heard about tmux for years but I just can't see a use case for it. Perhaps in the future I will. I use Linux and can easily change to another workspace with my window manager. At most I will only keep 2 windows open when coding. If I want to go back to the coding session I just switch to the workspace. I see how people can find it useful by attaching to it from elsewhere though.
I live on the cli but use Powershell in Windows Terminal, which persists your sessions via tabs that I can ctrl+tab to quickly switch between. Would tmux still be a great benefit in this scenario too?
I use the kitty terminal which has splitting and tabs, but no persistence. I wish there was a tool that gives me that persistence without the other features of tmux. I'm not a fan of tmux key bindings out the gate. Does such a tool exist?
I just couldn't find a good use case for tmux for my work yet. 20 years ago this would have been probably really sweet, but these days terminal emulators usually come with split functionality and I've never had the case where I needed to have a long living session. Usually stuff gets auto deployed to kubernetes and I just need to take a quick look into the cluster every now and again.
he's using the catppuccin color scheme which comes in 3 dark variants so the background color is either #1e1e2e (mocha), #24273A (macchiato) or #303446 (frappe)
the only tmux feature that I can’t replicate with tiling windows is being able to detach/reattach from a session. I don’t usually find a use case for that. instead, I just minimize the terminal
If you have multiple computers, for example a laptop and a desktop, using tmux can improve your experience 1000x. You can work on something on your desktop in neovim in tmux for example, leave your home and then hop onto the train, ssh into your desktop from the laptop and continue exactly where you left off. Good luck doing that with regular terminal windows And you can also have many sessions open at once with only one terminal. I have a script to either open an existing session for a project or launch a new one if it does not exist. If I wanted to do the same thing with terminal windows I would have to have 10+ terminals runnning at once at all times. Its a very good experience to be able to launch a tmux session for any of my projects on my entire computer in just 5 keypresses max, and be exactly where I want to be with all windows/panes set up
% and " always feel backwards to me. A pct sign is one thing on top of another. A double quote is one thing next to another. WHY do they not create splits that reflect that.
If I'm not doing a lot of background jobs or SSHing - how useful is tmux? I currently use iTerm panes to split a window vertical/horizontal which is possibly the big selling point here?
I'll show that off a bit more in upcoming videos. But essentially, you can navigate between panes and windows without taking your hands off the keyboard. And with more ergonomic keybindings
Thanks nerd

You should look tms
Thanks nerd!, I got to you because I'm learning nvim, and now I'm using tmux because of you!
one of my favorite new channels
I'm glad you spelled out "pseudo" for the terminal login … I wasn't sure if that was a fake login or superuser login. 😂
this guy is awesome, I like the way he explains everything. Please continue, I have always wanted to learn tmux
More to come!
This is why Iove this channel!
Thanks!
tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum is my favorite tmux plugin. Good video Btw.
Tmux always felt confusing to me. This helped a ton. Only thing missing for completeness in my opinion was how to close panes/windows/sessions.
Thanks for the great video!

Like your content, very clear explanations. Thaks for sharing your knowledge.
you have quickly become my go to source for anything vim related and more
Love hearing this thank you
I love your shirt! And particularly the content 😁
Your educational content is so, so good. Thank you for covering this. Learned a lot
TMUX & Neovim are the core of my workflow, thanks nerd for the tutorials
Great vid! Looking forward to more! Are you also covering something like sessionizer?
Good stuff! I use tmux, but just basic panes/windows. Just started looking at sessions today.
Awesome you’ll love it!
I took a break from learning how to use nvim and using the terminal for everything, but after seeing your lazy git and tmux videos I feel hooked again 😎
Amazing .. waiting the next episode
Great Content! U should have covered tmux-continuum and tmux-resurrect as well - helps a lot
Awesome work! can't wait to get into this
Stoked about this had no idea tmux had the sessions saved I assumed it just was an easy way to pen multiple panes
Tmux is so great you’re going to love it
Best explanation I found so far! Thank you!
Looking forward to this series. Hoping you cover copy/pasting because it always seems to be an issue for me no matter how I configure tmux.
I have quite a bit of experience with Tmux and i thought this video would be not that useful for me, but then you renamed a window to 'poop'. You sir, have just earned yourself a subscription
💩
I love this! I want to move to tmux (currently using terminator with starship). I've found the configuration for tmux complicated, and loosing my normal copy/paste with a mouse have been hurdles I haven't made it over. I'm hoping to be a new convert!
Tmux makes using Neovim a must. If I ever switch to a non-terminal editor I will lose all tmux benefits. Tmux+neovim is love, tmux+neovim is life.
nice little video, a couple of other out the box key bindings worth knowing
? list all keybindings
, rename-window
/ describe key binding
I've been using Tmux for a long time but it's nice to learn new tips, great video. @typecraft What terminal software are you using? I like the way the different directories are highlighted in you path prompt.
again new amazing series from you. Thanks 👍👍
♥️
Before this video I thought tmux was silly, now I’m starting to understand the mouseless computer interface
Your videos are amazing!! Thanks Nerd.
If you are wondering why its not working for you you should prece ctrl + b (leader key) once and leave it and then press any command to make it work.
Broo ❤
can't wait for ep. 2.....Thanks nerd!
Thank you NERD!!
This channel is the best things ever ❤
You’re the best thing ever

Such a great video! Thank you so much for the wonderful content. Sending love from Pakistan.
Next video plis!!! And that terminal theme is catpuccino? How did you got that running?? Thanks Typecraft 🙌
Coming soon!
I have to confess. I love Zellij, but now seen this video, I confess that I had desire to use tmux again.
Great video! Thanks for sharing
tmux is a better version of screen ? great video as always
So at work I use an iMac (or whatever these monitor-is-computer things are called) and a Macbook. I do most of my work on the iMac, but I can't exactly take it with me to a meeting, where I'll use the Macbook. It's sometimes annoying when things aren't in the same state between the two machines.

I came to the comments to complain about them, and noticed I had already done so 7 months earlier 😭. I think it might be time to give up.
I liked the old thumbnail better, but had the video in my watch later.
As a beginner just starting out to use the terminal which one to hop on and why?
NeoVim v/s Tmux?
neovim to start. then tmux when you're comfortable with neovim (tmux is a different thing you use WITH neovim)
If you also tried to run leader + c and it didn't work for you, apparently you need to release Ctrl-b before clicking command key (c, %, " etc.).
Thanks to you Nerd!
Thanks!
I’m really undecided whether to use tmux or some modern terminal emulator… they do offer most of the same features but really cool other ones as well
At some point, I’m probably going to have to switch from GNU screen to tmux. It’s just that I’ve been using screen for close to 20 years and it’s pretty well incorporated into my muscle memory.

Thoughts on Zellij?
I live on the cli but use Powershell in Windows Terminal, which persists your sessions via tabs that I can ctrl+tab to quickly switch between. Would tmux still be a great benefit in this scenario too?
Its the lo-fi "In the End" piano cut at @7:35 or so for me

If all series will be like neovim one's... That's just awesome
How is it different from say iterm2 which allows multiple split panes and tabs?

How does it differ from screen?
At this point, I realised I need a new folder called env where I will keep configs for tmux, vim, scripts, etc.
