Notes on tmux.

tmux Notes

Settings

  • PREFIX :source-file <filename> Reload the tmux config from
  • unbind Remove a keybinding
  • set -g escape-time 0 tmux adds a delay to sending the escape key in case it is followed by escape sequences. This makes that delay zero. This is nice for using vim under tmux.

Moved

Now located at https://github.com/JeffPaine/beautiful_idiomatic_python.

Why it was moved

Github gists don't support Pull Requests or any notifications, which made it impossible for me to maintain this (surprisingly popular) gist with fixes, respond to comments and so on. In the interest of maintaining the quality of this resource for others, I've moved it to a proper repo. Cheers!
