```bash
#  tmux 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.

#  Once you feel comfortable manipulating tmux to suit your needs, I strongly 
# suggest you read the man pages, as there are TONS of features I’m not going
# to go over.


# We’ll start of with managing tmux from a terminal, then introduce you to the
# keybinds:

  tmux | tmux new   # Create an unamed session
   -s "Session"     # Create named session
   -n "Window"      # Create named Window
   -c "/dir"        # Start in target directory
    
  tmux attach       # Attach last/available session
   -t "#"           # Attach target session
   -d               # Detach the session from other instances

  tmux ls           # List open sessions
        
  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 fairly simple, but 
# there are two keys we will see repeated throughout this write-up (as well as
# the man pages). 
	
  (C-b) == Ctrl + b THEN ? to list all keybinds

# The default keybinds are as follows:

   C-b             # Send the prefix key (C-b) through to the application.
   C-o             # Rotate the panes in the current window forwards.
   C-z             # Suspend the tmux client.
   ?               # List all key bindings.
   :               # Enter the tmux command prompt.
   r               # Force redraw of the attached client.

   c               # Create a new window.
   $               # Rename the current session.
   ,               # Rename the current 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.

```bash
# Example tmux.conf  
# http://dev.gentoo.org/~wired/conf/tmux.conf  
# http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Tmux  
# https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tmux
