Software features
Session persistence
Supports running tasks in the background. Even if the terminal is closed or the network is interrupted, the process within the session can still continue to execute. Users can reconnect the session through tmux attach and restore working status.
Example: When running a database backup for a long time, there is no need to worry about the terminal closing causing the task to be interrupted.
Multi-window and panel management
Supports horizontal/vertical split windows and can view multiple terminal outputs at the same time.
Provides preset layouts (such as tiles, primary and secondary partitions, etc.), and supports shortcut keys to dynamically adjust the panel size and position.
Example: Run the code editor, log monitoring and testing tools simultaneously in one window, and improve efficiency through panel switching.
Cross-platform and highly customizable
Compatible with Linux, macOS and Windows (via WSL or Cygwin).
Supports custom shortcut keys, status bar style and encoding format (such as UTF-8).
The configuration file (~/.tmux.conf) allows users to define personalized operation logic.
Collaboration and script extensions
Supports multi-user shared sessions, suitable for remote collaboration or pair programming.
Provides a rich command line interface and API to implement automated tasks (such as batch management sessions) through scripts.
