# Terminology

- panes, split tmux window into several terminals, everything about panes https://arcolinux.com/everthing-you-need-to-know-about-tmux-panes/

- servers hold one or more sessions. The nice thing is that we can attach to these sessions since the server runs them even when the clint has detached. All about servers and sessions, https://arcolinux.com/everthing-you-need-to-know-about-tmux-servers-and-sessions/
  - tmux list-clients, query server for list of active clients

- session, hold one or more windows, all about sessions https://arcolinux.com/everthing-you-need-to-know-about-tmux-servers-and-sessions/. A session is like a Virtualbox. Sessions are persistent.
  - tmux new-session -t <session name>
  - C-b s list sessions
  - C-b:kill-session, exit and close whole session

- window, hold on or more panes, as a tab in a notebook, all about windows https://arcolinux.com/everthing-you-need-to-know-about-tmux-windows/
  - C-b c create window
  - C-b n next window
  - C-b , rename window
  - tmux list-window
