# On tmux awesomeness

(in the following I use |PREFIX| as a stub for your prefix,
typically CTRL+b, but a lot of people like me use CTRL+a)

Multiple sessions are of course awesome. It is not something
that a lot of users learn when starting out with tmux. So
here is a quick run down:

To create a new named session from within tmux use:

```
|PREFIX| :new -s NAME
```

To view a list of sessions and choose one use:

```
|PREFIX| s
```

From outside of tmux make a named session with:

```
tmux new -s NAME
```

or start detached with

```
tmux new -s NAME -d
```

I like to have the following sessions always running:

* searx running foreground (I choose not to daemonize it)
  Note: not accessible outside of my network
* gopher/tootstream/searx in lynx 
* a session for general shell usage 

Handy.
