Massive re-write

I wanted to show a lot more than I had previously, though this may have gotten a little out of hand for a casual glance in comparison to the previous version. I feel that a majority of the available tools/features that tmux has to offer should be noticeable during a quick skim, and the bulk of the information is still digestible over a short period of time.

Once you feel comfortable manipulating tmux to suit your needs, I strongly
suggest you read the man pages. # Well start of with managing tmux from a terminal, then introduce you to the
# keybinds:
tmux | tmux new # Create an unamed session
-s "Session" # Create named session
-n "Window" # Create named Window
-c "/dir" # Start in target directory
tmux attach # Attach last/available session
-t "#" # Attach target session
-d # Detach the session from other instances
tmux ls # List open sessions
kill-session # Kill current session
-t "#" # Kill target session
-a # Kill all sessions
-a -t "#" # Kill all sessions but the target
``` ## Key Bindings
# Session Management
# The method of controlling an attached tmux session is fairly simple, but
tmux new Create new session # there are two keys we will see repeated throughout this write-up (as well as
-s "Session" Create named session # the man pages).
-n "Window" Create named Window
-c "/dir" Start in target directory (C-b) == Ctrl + b THEN ? to list all keybinds
C^b $ Rename current session # The default keybinds are as follows:
C^b d Detach current session
C^b D Select session to detach C-b # Send the prefix key (C-b) through to the application.
C-o # Rotate the panes in the current window forwards.
tmux attach Attach last/available session C-z # Suspend the tmux client.
-t "#" Attach target session ? # List all key bindings.
-d Detach the session from other instances : # Enter the tmux command prompt.
r # Force redraw of the attached client.
tmux ls List open sessions
C^b s Select new session for attached client interactively c # Create a new window.
$ # Rename the current session.
kill-session Kill current session , # Rename the current window.
-t "#" Kill target session
-a Kill all sessions ! # Break the current pane out of the window.
-a -t "#" Kill all sessions but the target % # Split the current pane into two, left and right.
" # Split the current pane into two, top and bottom.
# Window Management n # Change to the next window.
p # Change to the previous window.
C^b c Create another window { # Swap the current pane with the previous pane.
C^b " Split Horizontally } # Swap the current pane with the next pane.
C^b % Split Vertically
C^b M-(1-5) 1) Tile vertically s # Select a new session for the attached client interactively.
2) Tile horizontally w # Choose the current window interactively.
3) Tile Vertically /w large horizontal 0 to 9 # Select windows 0 to 9.
4) Tile horizontally /w large vertical
5) Tile all windows evenly d # Detach the current client.

C^b p Change to previous window Up, Down # Change to the pane above, below, left, or right.
C^b Up, Right Change to pane in selected direction Left, Right

### Configuring ~/.tmux.conf
tmux.conf can be used to set options automatically on start up, much
like how .vimrc or init.el are used.
```bash
# Example tmux.conf
