tmux in Breadstick

Breadstick note

Breadstick's Terminal keeps each tab's shell in a tmux session while Reattach to your terminal session is on, as it is by default: the shell keeps running while you leave the Terminal screen and is there when you come back. You can also run tmux yourself in any shell.

Breadstick runs Debian's own tmux package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so tmux should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • tmux

Type it in Breadstick's Terminal to start the program.

Multiplexers and session tools run inside Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, as they do on a Linux PC. More in the docs: The Terminal.

About tmux

From Debian's package description

tmux enables a number of terminals (or windows) to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal like screen. tmux runs as a server-client system. A server is created automatically when necessary and holds a number of sessions, each of which may have a number of windows linked to it. Any number of clients may connect to a session, or the server may be controlled by issuing commands with tmux. Communication takes place through a socket, by default placed in /tmp. Moreover tmux provides a consistent and well-documented command interface, with the same syntax whether used interactively, as a key binding, or from the shell. It offers a choice of vim or Emacs key layouts.

From Debian's description of the tmux package, under that package's license.
