.tmux.conf

tmux is a BSD-licensed Terminal MUltipleXer. It allows users to run multiple "windows" through a single shell connection, and keep applications running when logged out. The default prefix for tmux is Ctl-b, and all other tmux commands are sent following that prefix. Please read man tmux for more info on default keybindings and commands.
