Tmux has liberated me from tiling window mangers. Not that I didn’t like those, but I occasionally have to work with macOS or default GNOME setups. And over the years I realised that I only need a terminal multiplexor to do terminal tiling for me, the rest of the windows are just fine to be full-screen in separate workspaces.

So, I ended up doing 80% of my work in terminals with tmux. But, the prefix thing? Pardonnez-moi, but usability matters. Pressing a chorded prefix hotkey only to press another chorded hotkey to perform a single action is clear nonsense.

With this in mind, I decided to customize my tmux to use only simple chorded hotkeys without a prefix for most common actions, and to make them easy to remember. Additionally, my goal was not to override anything in the default tmux configuration to be able to use default tmux as well, if I have to (i.e. when ssh’ed to some remote server). Finally, I wanted it to be similar in German/US keyboards, as well as work for MacBooks and regular laptops.

Here’s what I came up with:

Tmux for mere mortals

  • Mod+1..9: switch windows from 1 to 9
  • Mod+, and Mod+.: switch to next/prev windows
  • Mod+HJKL or arrows: switch between panes
  • Mod+N: create new window
  • Mod+F: toggle full-screen
  • Mod+V: split vertically
  • Mod+B: split horizontally (“bisect”)
  • Mod+X: close pane
  • Mod+/: enter copy and scroll mode

Intuitive? Now, same hotkeys with Shift key are used to modify things:

Tmux for mere mortals

  • Mod+< and Mod+>: move current window to the left/right
  • Mod+Shift+HJKL or arrows: move pane to the left/right/up/down
  • Mod+Shift+X: close window
  • Mod+Shift+R: rename window

That’s pretty much everything I ever needed from tmux. For other, less frequent actions I accept to use the default bindings, from time to time.

Additionally, I would like tmux to use my primary clipboard on all systems, so that I would only have to copy text with my mouse or keyboard selection. Resizing panes is also usable with a mouse.

As for the status bar, I’m not a big fan of being overloaded with information, so I only show window names there, or in the case then window has only an open shell - current directory name.

Nothing else.

Here’s the tmux.conf (or you may always have a look at my dotfiles for a newer version:

setw -g window-status-format ' #{?#{==:#W,#{b:SHELL}},#{b:pane_current_path},#W} '
# For older tmux:
#setw -g window-status-format ' #W '
#setw -g window-status-current-format ' #W '

Now tmux feels like a regular desktop app and truly boosts the productivity in the terminal. What do you think?
