The article covers the basics. Once you are ready to go beyond that, I would recommend exploring customisations, which are well covered by Awesome Tmux: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tmux

The other beginner tip I would give that's not in the original article is the command:

    set mouse

Doing so will toggle mouse mode. This means that there are a whole class of commands you don't have to remember as you get a feel for it. For example, highlight mode, scrolling, switching windows/panes.

Agreed, mouse mode plus zoom are two huge productivity boosters. Zoom is crtl-b ctrl-z and makes a console full screen.

Wow! This should be in the first paragraph of the man page. Thanks for this tip
