Tmux
Command cheatsheet
Ctrl+b (aka PREFIX) is used to enter in tmux command mode
Do it once then enter the second command (c key to create a new window).
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| <PREFIX> c | create a new window |
| <PREFIX> n | move to the next window. |
| <PREFIX> p | move to the previous window. |
| <PREFIX> PgUp/PgDown | Scroll mode (q to exit) |
| <PREFIX> $ | Rename session |
| <PREFIX> , | Rename window |
| <PREFIX> " | split pane horizontally. |
| <PREFIX> % | split pane vertically. |
| <PREFIX> arrow key | switch pane. |
| Hold <PREFIX> arrow-keys | resize pane. |
| <PREFIX>+d | exit pane |
Copy pane content
# to copy the content of the pane into a new buffer
<PREFIX>:capture-pane -S-
# to save the content of a buffer into a file
<PREFIX>:save-buffer file.log
You can also do the same thing with tmux command, but you have to specify the window and pane name (or index)
tmux capture-pane -t <WINDOW>:<PANE> -pS- > file.log
