One terminal window, many shells — and none of them die when the connection does.
Every shortcut starts with the prefix Ctrl-b: hold Ctrl, press b, release both, then the command key.

tmux splits the programs from the terminal that displays them. A background server
owns your sessions; the terminal is only a client attached to it. Close the client and the server
keeps running. Hover any node.

copy mode, and the whole server can be driven from outside by a
script or an SSH shell. Click any region to filter the command list below.

Every command, filtered
Search by key, command, or what you want to do. Click any card to copy it.
Shortcuts are written Ctrl-b then the key — never all at once.

of the workload. Add the rest when you need them.
