My only non-truvial tip about tmux is that the only thing that one needs to do is to look for help: Ctrl+B then '?', and then figure the rest out.

When I learnt tmux, I had to access multiple VMs which were de-facto ephemeral, which meant customization was not an option anyway. I kind of learnt to like the defaults as they are.

Thank you for this. I'm trying to get better at vi(m) and I'm looking for something similar that I can pull up while editing a document - I struggle to remember some basic keystrokes when I need them.

My favorite tmux command from the shell is: "tmux new -A -s me", which I have aliased to "tm". It creates a tmux session named "me", or attaches to a session named that if it already exists.
