+tmux</a> 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.
+
+
+```
+ tmux [command] # Run a command
+ # 'tmux' with no commands will create a new session
+
+ new # Create a new session
+ -s "Session" # Create named session
+ -n "Window" # Create named Window
+ -c "/dir" # Start in target directory
+
+ attach # Attach last/available session
+ -t "#" # Attach target session
+ -d # Detach the session from other instances
+
+ ls # List open sessions
+ -a # List all open sessions
+
+ lsw # List windows
+ -a # List all windows
+ -s # List all windows in session
+
+ lsp # List panes
+ -a # List all panes
+ -s # List all panes in session
+ -t # List app panes in target
+
+ kill-window # Kill current window
+ -t "#" # Kill target window
+ -a # Kill all windows
+ -a -t "#" # Kill all windows but the target
+
+ kill-session # Kill current session
+ -t "#" # Kill target session
+ -a # Kill all sessions
+ -a -t "#" # Kill all sessions but the target
+
+
+
+## Key Bindings
+
+# The method of controlling an attached tmux session is via key combinations
+# called 'Prefix' keys.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ (C-b) = Ctrl + b # 'Prefix' combination required to use keybinds
+
+ (M-1) = Meta + 1 -or- Alt + 1
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ ? # List all key bindings.
+ : # Enter the tmux command prompt.
+ r # Force redraw of the attached client.
+ c # Create a new window.
+
+ ! # Break the current pane out of the window.
+ % # Split the current pane into two, left and right.
+ " # Split the current pane into two, top and bottom.
+
+ n # Change to the next window.
+ p # Change to the previous window.
+ { # Swap the current pane with the previous pane.
+ } # Swap the current pane with the next pane.
+
+ s # Select a new session for the attached client interactively.
+ w # Choose the current window interactively.
+ 0 to 9 # Select windows 0 to 9.
+
+ d # Detach the current client.
+ D # Choose a client to detach.
+
+ & # Kill the current window.
+ x # Kill the current pane.
+
+ Up, Down # Change to the pane above, below, left, or right.
+ Left, Right
+
+ M-1 to M-5 # Arrange panes:
+ # 1) even-horizontal
+ # 2) even-vertical
+ # 3) main-horizontal
+ # 4) main-vertical
+ # 5) tiled.
+
+ C-Up, C-Down # Resize the current pane in steps of one cell.
+ C-Left, C-Right
+
+ M-Up, M-Down # Resize the current pane in steps of five cells.
+ M-Left, M-Right

+
+### Configuring ~/.tmux.conf
+
+ tmux.conf can be used to set options automatically on start up, much
+like how .vimrc or init.el are used.
+
+# Example tmux.conf
+# 2014.9
+
