Shell CMDS – From any shell prompt:
start new:
tmux
start new with session name:
tmux new -s myname
attach:
tmux a # (or at, or attach)
attach to named:
tmux a -t myname

`
TMUX CMDS – In tmux, hit the prefix ctrl+b and then:
Sessions
:new<CR> new session
s list sessions
$ name session
Windows (tabs)
c new window
w list windows
f find window
, name window
& kill window
Panes (splits)
% vertical split
” horizontal split
o swap panes
q show pane numbers
x kill pane
+ break pane into window (e.g. to select text by mouse to copy)
– restore pane from window
⍽ space – toggle between layouts
PREFIX q (Show pane numbers, when the numbers show up type the key to goto that pane)
PREFIX { (Move the current pane left)
PREFIX } (Move the current pane right)
Resizing Panes
You can also resize panes if you don’t like the layout defaults. I use the mouse to resize
PREFIX : resize-pane (By default it resizes the current pane down)
PREFIX : resize-pane -U (Resizes the current pane upward)
PREFIX : resize-pane -L (Resizes the current pane left)
PREFIX : resize-pane -R (Resizes the current pane right)
PREFIX : resize-pane 20 (Resizes the current pane down by 20 cells)
PREFIX : resize-pane -U 20 (Resizes the current pane upward by 20 cells)
PREFIX : resize-pane -L 20 (Resizes the current pane left by 20 cells)
PREFIX : resize-pane -R 20 (Resizes the current pane right by 20 cells)
PREFIX : resize-pane -t 2 20 (Resizes the pane with the id of 2 down by 20 cells)
PREFIX : resize-pane -t -L 20 (Resizes the pane with the id of 2 left by 20 cells)

How do I copy and paste when the mouse select plane is enabled?
To copy/paste text in xterm running tmux on mac you simply hold down the option key and highlight the text you want to copy. On PC you hold down the shift key. If you are running split plane windows then you can zoom into the window you are interesting in copying text from using C-b z (prefix: z)
If you are a mac user an easier approach is to use Iterm2 and then under the preference, go to the general tab and check the allow clipboard access to terminal apps.
