[SOLVED] tmux resize problem

sleftar · 10-25-2015, 10:36 PM

Hello guys,

I am trying to learn tmux because I am told in this forums that it is a better alternative to screen.

One of the website says that CTRL+b+arrow key will resize the window. I am running ubuntu 14 server ed on PuTTY and I could not make the resize work. Can you tell me if there is a way to make it work?

Thank you very much.

Please provide more information. In Linux, screen is a Linux program for connecting to remote terminals.

What precise program are you trying to learn and what operating system are you using?

I am trying to learn tmux. when you crate panes, there is a way to resize them. that is the ctrl+b+arrow key. But this did not work for me.

There is a prefix named "resize-pane" with tmux. have you tried to use?

http://tmuxcheatsheet.com/

tried the cheatsheet here in this website but it failed..

its under "resize current pane"

ctrl+b+arrow

pressing all of them at the same time i believe imean first ctrl and without removing ur finger, b then arrow.. It failed.

it behaves like

ctrl+b arrow
which is to change pane that you are working in.

For some reason it runs in my server with

ctrl+b alt+arrow key

weird...

Did you know that you can resize the panes with your mouse? Just click on a line separating two panes and drag them.

Edit: For this to work you need the following in your .tmux.conf

Code:

#mouse - allows selct pane and resize with mouse
set -g mode-mouse on
set -g mouse-resize-pane on
set -g mouse-select-pane on
set -g mouse-select-window on
