# Tmux on ddubsOS — Summary & Cheatsheet
## 🚀 Summary of modules/home/terminals/tmux.nix
### ⌨️ What is the Tmux Prefix?
- The prefix is a special key you press before most tmux commands, so tmux can tell them apart from regular typing.
- Notation guide used below:
- C-x = hold Control and press x (e.g., C-a means Control+a)
- M-x = hold Alt/Meta and press x (sometimes shown as Alt+x)
- S-x = hold Shift and press x (often implicit for uppercase letters)
- Tmux default prefix is C-b (Control+b). In this config its changed to C-a (Control+a), which mirrors the historical GNU Screen workflow many users prefer.
Quick examples (with prefix = C-a):
- New window: press C-a then c
- Next window: press C-a then n
- Split horizontally: press C-a then |
- Split vertically: press C-a then -
- Resize left: press C-a then C-h (hold Control and press h)
- Program
- tmux enabled; prefix: C-a; key mode: vi; baseIndex: 1; pane-base-index: 1
- baseIndex: window numbering starts at 1 instead of 0
- pane-base-index: pane numbering inside a window starts at 1 instead of 0
- Terminal overrides RGB; terminal set to "kitty"; shell: zsh
- Mouse: enabled; 12-hour clock; history-limit: 5000; renumber-windows: on
- Status/UX
- Status bar at top; passthrough: on; confirmations reduced (kill-pane without prompt)
- Plugins
- vim-tmux-navigator, sensible, catppuccin
