June 10, 2016Short Bytes: With the recently released Windows 10 build for Windows Insiders, Microsoft has rolled out many new features to Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10.
While this is often quite a useful feature to take advantage of, it can cause problems if, for example, one of the connections has a much smaller window size (because Byobu will resize itself to match the smallest window).
We also provide an SSH Client for Windows which is not a version of PuTTY, but is free and dedicatedly maintained.
Keep reading to get started, or visit the Minecraft for Windows 10 FAQ for a bundle of helpful resources.
For example you can click on a window name in the status bar to switch to it or you can click and drag a pane line to resize it.
With some builds the focus is just on fixing problems and making general improvements, but Insider Preview Build 18317 for Windows Insiders on the Fast ring is notable mainly because Search and Cortana are no longer linked.
For the sake of users who are unfamiliar with Tmux, Tmux is a command line tool that allows users to divide a terminal window into multiple panes, allowing users to switch between panes and easily render the output within each pane.
Players who have purchased Minecraft: Java Edition before October 19th, 2018 can get Minecraft for Windows 10 for free by visiting their Mojang account.
This means that it makes it easy for you to open multiple windows and run multiple commands within a single terminal connection.
With the mouse option enabled you can use the pointer to interact with tmux panes, windows and status bar.
When it opens for the first time, it will download necessary files and will ask you to create a username and a password.
There are two main ways you can enable Byobu: you can manually start it with the byobu command every time you want to use it, or you can set it to start automatically when you log in to your account.
When you run the install script, windows will act a little weird as it installs each font individually popping up a dialog for each.
Scroll as needed, highlight the text (it should highlight in yellow, to indicate Tmux is handling the copy operation), and release the mouse.
While you wait for the download to complete, please consider contributing to support the development.
Tmux supports tabs (they are called windows though), as well as splitting a tab into any number of panes (both horizontally and vertically).
By attaching multiple sessions, windows, and panes to a tmux server, you can organize your workflow and easily manage multiple tasks and processes.
Of course tmux is configurable by a config file, and you can configure nearly everything how you like it.
