tmux 1.8

tmux enables a number of terminals (or windows) to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is intended to be a modern and simple alternative to programs such as GNU screen.

Here are some key features of "tmux":

· Basic multiplexing, window switching, attaching and detaching.
· Window listing and renaming.
· Key binding.
· Handling of client terminal resize.
· Terminal emulation sufficient to handle most curses applications. Without known issues are: emacs, irssi, mutt, ncmpc (resize problems are present in both tmux and screen), vim and various tools and games in the OpenBSD base system.
· A optional status line (enabled by default).
· Window history and copy and paste.
· Support for VT100 line drawing characters.
· A basic configuration file.
