![]() For example, to resize pane in iTerm, we use “ ^⌘↑”, let’s map the same keystroke in tmux in somewhat naive way: bind ^⌘↑ resize-pane -U nf and map tmux actions to those keybindings. The idea is to map keystrokes in iTerm to trigger tmux actions. Today, let’s see how we can use familiar iTerm keybindings while working in tmux environment. Override iTerm key mappings to trigger tmux action We’ll address these topics in my future posts. Issues with scrollback buffer and integration with OS clipboard are highly vital, that you can even decide to give up adopting tmux. Indeed, right now I’m using iTerm just as a tunnel to tmux ? Personally, I decided to go ahead with tmux and its features, and rely less on iTerm2 specific features. Instead of single keystroke like ⌘⌥->, you need two keystoke s: prefix followed by another key, mapped to specific tmux action. If you’re already accustomed to iTerm keybindings, you need to learn and switch to tmux keybindings, which are cumbersome.Just try to copy text in tmux running in OSX default Terminal, which does not support OSC52 To be 100% correct, sharing with system clipboard works in iTerm2, but just because it supports OSC 52 ANSI escape sequences that let application such as tmux to access and store data in clipboard. If you copy text in tmux, it’s stored in tmux own buffer, and not shared with your OS clipboard by default.It’s more difficult to access it and copy text than in iTerm (just scroll and select with mouse) tmux maintains it’s own scrollback buffer.This makes it easier to migrate to a different terminal emulator, be it on same OS or another one (Linux) When you’re using tmux, you rely on iTerm2 unique features much less.If you’re using tmux both locally and on remote machine, you’d get the same familiar terminal environment.Ability to switch between several per-project local tmux sessions to easily switch context.Even-horizontal, even-vertical, main-horizontal, main-vertical and tiled ITerm has something similar, but it’s only about notifying you when execution returns to command prompt, and requires installing extra shell integration ![]() When I run a long-running command in one pane, I can switch to another pane and be notified when no more output appears in previous pane for some interval
