Quick Tmux Tip
If you've ever wonder, can I open tmux
inside of tmux
, the answer is YES!. You can also run an extra layer of shell (be it bash
or ssh
) between the two tmux
es. Commands for the outer shell would be manipulated by CTRL+B
as the prefix, naturally. Commands for the inner shell would be manipulated by using CTRL+B CTRL+B
(That's CTRL+B
twice).
This is great for running the local shell and a remote shell in the same terminal window and even better if you have like a 14 inch monitor or larger.
