hi Lee,
please don't troll or start a flame war :-)
you just show how little you used tmux so let's go to the basic
so you can enjoy the ride with us.
In fact any time you run the tmux command from your shell with no
parameter whatsoever and with its default configuration, you start
what is called a new session showing you a new window with a single
pane in it. So in tmux you'll have to deal with sessions, windows and
panes.
It comes out that another launch of tmux by any user (even the same)
opens a NEW session on the terminal/console it starts from with, again
a new session showing you a new window with a single pane in it.
It means that both launchs end up in different "places" showing diffent
"things".
But... the greatness of it is that you've got lots of commands to handle
that. You might have been used to key in <^A+"key"> well now the prefix
is <^B> (thogh you can change it any way you want via the conf files or
via the tmux options on the command line or even the commands you pass
live to tmux (after <^B+:>) ! Isn't it freedom? try <^B+?> to get the
list of the currently available key combinations.
e.g., in default conf. you'd have :
to go from session to session : <^B+s> then select
to change current window within current session :
<^B+n> goes to "next"ly viewed window
<^B+p> goes to previously viewed window
<^B+#> goes to the window number # (displaid on the status line)
<^B+w> goes to the window you select from a list
<^B+c> creates new window
<^B+&> kills window (after confirmation)
to play with panes (the subdivisions of the window)
<^B+%> divides the window horizontaly (left and right)
<^B+"> divides the window verticaly (top and bottom)
<^B+t> shows time in pane
<^B+space> changes the displaying template
<^B+q> shows the pane's number on each pane
....
well the list goes on but you already have an idea
from here on :
+ play with it : best way to learn and to enjoy it
+ dare changes in the your ~/.tmux.conf file to adapt it to your liking
(i wouldn't set the prefix to <^A> though)
unusual to tmux users i can live without these defaults of mine:
# simpler win man.
bind-key -n F11 prev
bind-key -n F12 next
+ and, of course, to give you more of it... RTFM!
+ you've got it everyware :
if man is available in your distro, go for it
else from http://tmux.sourceforge.net you have a link to it
+
http://www.scribd.com/doc/123784158/tmux-productive-mouse-free-development
+ and your favorite search engin will certainly bring you many more
jewels
(conf files, advices, shared experiences...)
I hope this will help you on your way from new (or inexperienced, like i'm
still) user
to a less new and more experienced one.
Also allow me to thank here Nicholas Marriott for this great tool and all the
contributors.
