On tmux awesomeness

Entered in vim on RPoJ via ssh

(in the following I use |PREFIX| as a stub for your prefix, typically CTRL+b, but a lot of people like me use CTRL+a)

Multiple sessions are of course awesome. It is not something that a lot of users learn when starting out with tmux. So here is a quick run down:

To create a new named session from within tmux use:

|PREFIX| :new -s NAME

To view a list of sessions and choose one use:

|PREFIX| s

From outside of tmux make a named session with:

tmux new -s NAME

or start detached with

tmux new -s NAME -d

I like to have the following sessions always running:

• searx running foreground (I choose not to daemonize it)
• Note: not accessible outside of my network
• gopher/tootstream/searx in lynx
• a session for general shell usage

Handy.
