On tmux

Why I use tmux

I'm loving Tmux. I have 9 Tmux windows going with 4 different projects. I can swap between them easily and all in one terminal window. This is hugely beneficial when connecting via ssh, but I don't use that all that much.

• Project
• Backend window
• Frontend window
• Third window for git, running shells, file management, etc.

Changes from defaults

• Change prefix key fron ctrl-b to ctrl-a (There's a case to be made for ctrl-space)
• Change create panes to | and - for vertical and horizontal splits
• Add Vim-like keybinds to switch between panes
