Tmux is a terminal multiplexer. It lets you switch between several programs through windows and panes, detach your session and reattach to it on a different computer. I reckon it’s mostly used on servers where people have long running jobs and such running in a tmux session.

The learning curve is what always withheld me from just diving in and giving Tmux a chance to get integrated into my workflow. I wanted to share some of the small changes I made to my Tmux configuration to make life a little easier.
