tmux

How do I bind a function key (e.g. F1, which generates ESC O P ) to a tmux command (e.g. "next window", ctrl-B n )? Context: ssh running on mac into tmux session on linux. I'm pressing fn-F1 on the mac keyboard to generate the ESC O P . From the KEY BINDINGS section of man tmux : tmux allows a command to be bound to most keys, with or without a prefix key. When specifying keys, most represent themselves (for example ‘A’ to ‘Z’). Ctrl keys may be prefixed with ‘C-’ or ‘^’, and Alt (meta) with ‘M-’. In addition, the following special key names are accepted: Up, Down, Left, Right, BSpace, BTab,

Using Tmux and Vim is a pain sometimes. One of the collisions for me is Control-S . I use it in Vim for opening buffers in split, but when using Tmux, well... Tmux does something stupid with it, I can't figure out whats the purpose. But basically, when C-s is pressed in Tmux, screen freezes. And it unfreezes with C-q . I've no idea whats that good for, if anything. unbind C-s unbind C-q I tried to unbind C-s in tmux.conf, but it didn't work. How can I unbind it? Also I freed the binding from Terminal, in .bashrc stty -ixon -ixoff First of all, I would say that the Ctrl-S (suspend the output)

I want to use Ctrl-semicolon for tmux's prefix. But my conf doesn't work. unbind-key C-b set-option -g prefix C-\; I found a similar article. But it's not for the prefix. tmux bind semicolon BTW, what's your favorite prefix key? :D Do you have a recommend key? Terminal can't register a Ctrl-; keystroke. It's just not a valid character. If you look at the control characters in the below ascii table, you'll see Ctrl-; is not on the list. I'm on OS X and when I type Ctrl - ; in the (terminal and in a "desktop" program) I get a bell sound indicating the character is not recognized or something. As

I am trying to get a list of tmux sockets that are currently being used but the best solution I've come up with so far is to check in /tmp/tmux* or TMPDIR. As far as I can tell tmux keeps these sockets around for some amount of time even if no current tmux session is using them. As such I was hoping there was something similar to tmux list-sessions, but for sockets, that would give me all the sockets that are currently being used. I couldn't seem to find one in the man page and if there was one I didn't properly understand that listing sockets was its purpose. Thanks! To list all sockets used

Is there a way to do this in ~/.tmux.conf? If everything else is configured correctly, it should be as simple as putting this in your .tmux.conf : set-option -g prefix Home Note: Unless you manually “source” your .tmux.conf , changes to the file will only take affect when the tmux server is restarted. Either cleanly exit all your panes, windows (thus closing all your sessions and letting the server exit), or use tmux kill-server , then start a fresh session. This will only work if your terminal emulator is sending an escape sequence that matches the khome field of the terminfo database entry

These key mappings stop working in tmux. In my .vimrc , I have: nmap <Space> i map <C-Down> <C-w>j map <C-Up> <C-w>k map <C-Left> <C-w>h map <C-Right> <C-w>l When I run :map , I see: <C-Right> <C-W>l <C-Left> <C-W>h <C-Up> <C-W>k <C-Down> <C-W>j Yet when I hit control and an arrow key at the same time, it behaves as if no keybinding was set. Vim knows that xterm -like terminals (identified by TERM starting with xterm , or a particular response to the t_RV sequence, if it is defined) support extended sequences for certain modified keys, but it does not assume this for screen TERMs (which you

I am using the terminal application on osX to connect to ubuntu (12.04 i think). I have the terminal at it's default setting of xerm-256. In this mode the terminal sends the sequence of \033OQ when F2 is pressed. There is no mapping however for Shift-F2 or Control-F2. There is also no sequences set for Shift-Left, Shift-Right, Control-Left, Control-Right, etc. I need some of these keys to operate features from time to time in various programs. Take for example byobu. Shift-F2 and Control-F2 are used to split the screen vertically and horizontally. In tmux the arrow keys are used with shift and
