Tmux 3.5 Released with Extended Keys Support and New Features

Tmux, an open-source terminal multiplexer that allows users to split their terminal into multiple panes, has just released version 3.5 with some exciting new features and improvements. The most notable change in this release is the extended keys support, which allows users to use key combinations that were previously not possible in Tmux.

One of the key features of Tmux 3.5 is the ability to use arrow keys in copy mode, making it easier to navigate and select text within a pane. This has been a highly requested feature by users who found it cumbersome to navigate copy mode using the default key bindings.

In addition to extended keys support, Tmux 3.5 also comes with a number of new features and improvements. One of the most notable is the ability to set the default-terminal option to specify the terminal emulator to use when starting a new session. This allows users to customize their Tmux setup to better fit their workflow.

Another new feature in Tmux 3.5 is the option to automatically rename windows based on the running command. This can be useful for keeping track of multiple windows with similar names, making it easier to identify which window is running which command.

Overall, Tmux 3.5 is a significant update that brings a number of new features and improvements to the popular terminal multiplexer. Whether you’re a longtime Tmux user or new to the program, there’s something in this release for everyone to enjoy. You can download Tmux 3.5 from the project’s official website or through your package manager of choice. Happy Tmux-ing!
