Tmux Pain Control
Tmux plugin for controlling panes. Adds standard pane navigation bindings.
So far, you had to google around and comb other people's dotfiles to find these. This plugin hopefully makes them more available and "more standard".
Thanks to the Tmux community for "inventing" these bindings. I've merely just copied them here.
Tested and working on Linux, OSX and Cygwin.
Bindings
Notice most of the bindings emulate vim cursor movements.
<img align="right" src="/screenshots/pane_navigation.gif" alt="pane navigation"/>Navigation
prefix + h
andprefix + C-h
<br/> select pane on the leftprefix + j
andprefix + C-j
<br/> select pane below the current oneprefix + k
andprefix + C-k
<br/> select pane aboveprefix + l
andprefix + C-l
<br/> select pane on the right
Note: This overrides tmux's default binding for toggling between last
active windows, prefix + l
.
tmux-sensible gives you
a better binding for that, prefix + a
(if your prefix is C-a
).

<img align="right" src="/screenshots/pane_resizing.gif" alt="pane resizing"/>Resizing panes
prefix + shift + h
<br/> resize current pane 5 cells to the leftprefix + shift + j
<br/> resize 5 cells in the down directionprefix + shift + k
<br/> resize 5 cells in the up directionprefix + shift + l
<br/> resize 5 cells to the right
These mappings are repeatable
.
The amount of cells to resize can be configured with @pane_resize
option. See
configuration section for the details.

prefix + |
<br/> split the current pane into two, left and right.prefix + -
<br/> split the current pane into two, top and bottom.prefix + \
<br/> split current pane full width into two, left and right.prefix + _
<br/> split current pane full height into two, top and bottom.
Newly created pane always has the same path as the original pane.

Swapping windows
prefix + <
- moves current window one position to the leftprefix + >
- moves current window one position to the right
Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager (recommended)
Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf
:
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-pain-control'
Hit prefix + I
to fetch the plugin and source it.
You should now have all pain-control
bindings defined.
Manual Installation
Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-pain-control ~/clone/path
Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf
:
run-shell ~/clone/path/pain_control.tmux
Reload TMUX environment:
# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
You should now have all pain-control
bindings defined.

Tmux option to choose number of resize cells for the
resize bindings. "5" is the default.
