Override tmux shortcuts

Question

Is it possible to change tmux shortcuts to:

• ctrl + t opens a new window
• ctrl + w closes the window
• ctrl + tab cycles through the window list
• other similar labels for horizontal / vertical separation

I really like its features, but I always think that the less I have to study, the better.

Answer 1

It seems that you want to do this without the command prefix key. If so, add the following commands to your ~/.tmux.conf :

 bind-key -n Ct new-window bind-key -n Cw kill-window bind-key -n C-Tab next-window 

If you want to use the prefix key, release -n from the above commands.
