tmux

What is tmux?

tmux is a powerful and versatile terminal multiplexer that enables users to create, access, and control multiple terminals or windows from a single screen. It allows users to run separate programs in each window and detach from the screen while the processes continue running in the background, making it possible to later reattach and resume work seamlessly

Highlights

• Support for splitting windows horizontally and vertically into panes, which can be freely moved and resized
• Option to arrange panes into preset layouts for efficient workspace organization

• Provision of copy-paste functionality with multiple buffers
• Interactive menus for easy selection of windows, sessions, or clients
• Terminal locking, both manually and after a configurable timeout
