# 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
