I feel like I should point out that tmux is quite happy to take commands directly on the command line: `tmux new-window -n srv` will make a new window named "srv", `tmux next-window` will move you forward one window, etc. Hit prefix-? to list the commands bound to each key when you're running.

Thanks! I had this strange feeling someone was going to tell me something exactly like this after I posted. I'm glad I did though, it's good to learn new things.
:)

Remember, just because someone tells you a better doesn't mean there was anything wrong with your way (if nothing else, sending actual keystrokes is a universal-ish API rather than having to learn each program's specific interface, if they even have one). But yeah, knowledge-sharing is a perk of these threads, too:)
