New window as it sounds makes new windows in tmux. Windows are kind of like tabs. They are another screen within your sessions that you can name and make new panes in.
Default key bindings for creating and navigating windows in tmux.

I came across jumpcutter from emkademy, and it's packed with great features and ideas.
These are my MOST often used keybindings that I use in tmux. They allow me to jump between splits with ease with a vim style layout. I can hold mod and jump between panes with a familiar arrow key.
bind -n M-h select-pane -L bind -n M-l select-pane -R bind -n M-k select-pane -U bind -n M-j select-pane -D
...
Rotate window is the main way that I navigated tmux before I learned select-pane. It allows you to change your focused pane, or rotate the position of the panes easily.
Default keybindings

When you get many splits going in tmux sometimes its time for a new layout. There are four layout strategies that I use, main-vertical, main-horizontal, even-vertical, even-horizontal. Almost always I am useing the main ones with mod plus a or mod plus shift a keybindings.
# Select Layouts #――――――――――――――――― bind -n M-a select-layout main-vertical bind -n M-A select-layout main-horizontal bind -n M-E select-layout even-vertical bind -n M-V select-layout even-horizontal
...
Resizing panes in tmux can be quite difficult in default tmux, I use a set of keybingings to help resize panes in the rare occasions that I do need just a bit more space. I set the keybinding to the same as my split navigation bindings but shifted. They are very vim like (h,j,k,l).
# resize panes #――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― bind -n M-H resize-pane -L 2 bind -n M-L resize-pane -R 2 bind -n M-K resize-pane -U 2 bind -n M-J resize-pane -D 2
Most often when I need to resize panes I just grab the edge of the pane with my mouse. Yes the mouse, its not that often that I actually need to change the size of a pane.

ThePrimeagen has done a fantastic job with refactoring.nvim. Highly recommend taking a look.
Choose tree is a powerful tmux utility that provides a graphical interface to preview all sessions, windows, and panes, move between them kill them, move them and much more.
The default keybinding
...
The prefix key is an essential part of tmux, by default all of tmux’s key-bindings sit behind a prefix. This prefix is very similar to vim’s leader key. It is common for folks to change the default C-b (control b) to C-a or if they are a vim user something to match their vim leader key.
set -g prefix C-Space bind Space send-prefix
A few of the essential default key-bindings.

splitting panes is a core feature of tmux. It allows us to split the terminal vertically or horizontally into new panes.
bind -n M-s split-window -c '#{pane_current_path}' bind -n M-v split-window -h -c '#{pane_current_path}' bind -n M-X kill-pane
🗒️ note that ‘#{pane_current_path}‘will keep the split in the same directory as it’s parent, without this it will default to your home directory.

I like laktak's project extrakto.
Check out kedro-toolkit by Mar1cX. It's a well-crafted project with great potential.
An ultimate productivity key-binding in tmux is one to switch to the last session. I use this to quickly get between sessions really quick. Often I am working and need to lookup a quick note, or copy something into my notes, then get back to where I was quickly.
bind -n M-b switch-client -l
I think of this hub and spoke model, and use last-session to quickly drive it.

Tmux popups are actually floating windows that you can drag around the screen. They always open in the middle (by default) when you open them, no matter where you leave them.
Here are a couple of keybindings I use to open up popup windows.
...
Tmux-popups are a great feature that is relatively new to tmux, many repos such as the standard ubuntu repos do not have it. Popups came in 3.2a, if your package manager does not have it, you can follow the tmux’s install instructions to build from source.
# open a popup scratchpad bind -n M-g display-popup -E "tmux new-session -A -s scratch"

I came across nvim-spectre from nvim-pack, and it's packed with great features and ideas.
Kedro versioned datasets can be mixed with incremental and partitioned datasets to do some timeseries analysis on how our dataset changes over time. Kedro is a very extensible and composible framework, that allows us to build solutions from the individual components that it provides. This article is a great example of how you can combine these components in unique ways to achieve some powerful results with very little work.

I recently started streaming on twitch.tv/waylonwalker and it’s been a blast so far.
It all started with kedro/issues/606, Yetu called out for users of kedro to record themselves doing a walk through of their tutorials. I wanted to do this, but was really stuck at the fact that recording or editing somewhat polished vide is quite time consuming for me.
My introduction to twitch came from twitch.tv/theprimeagen. I watched him on YouTube, and then decided to drop into a stream. It was so fun to watch him live that I started following others in the science and tech category.

This was my first time ever streaming on twitch.tv/waylonwalker. I am excited to get going. I have been streaming early in the morning while I am still waking up, so still a bit groggy as I go.

The work on lsp-colors.nvim by folke.
With the latest releases of kedro 0.17.x, it is now possible to run kedro pipelines from within scripts. While I would not start a project with this technique, it will be a good tool to keep in my back pocket when I want to sprinkle in a bit of kedro goodness in existing projects.

Kedro can have a chatty logger. While this is super nice in production so see everything that happened during a pipeline run. This can be troublesome while trying to implement a cli extension with clean output.
First, how does one silence a python log? Python loggers can be retrieved by the logging module’s getLogger function. Then their log level can be changed. Much of kedro’s chattiness comes from INFO level logs. I don’t want to hear about anything for my current use case unless it’s essential, i.e., a failure. In this case, I set the log levels to ERROR as most errors should stop execution anyways.
Getting a python logger is straightforward if we know the name of the logger. The following block will grab the logger object for the logger currently registered under the name passed in.

Looking for inspiration? python-diskcache by grantjenks.
The work on lookatme by d0c-s4vage.
Running multiple processes using the same diskcache object can cause issues with locks. As I was trying to setup a rich Live display for markata I ran into issues where each part could not nun simultaneusly. As I had followed the instructions from discache it was not directly aparant to me, so I had to make a simple example to experiment and play with at a small scale.
Minimum reporducible error is one of my superpowers in development. I do this very often to sus out what is really happening. My day to day work is processing data with python, I keep a number of very small data sets handy to break and fix. This helps separate complexities of the project and the problem.
Markata has a lot going on. It’s a plugins all the way down static site generator built in python. Trying to find the root cause through the layers of plugin and cli modules can be a pain, but in this case building a very simple minimum reporducible error was much easier.

The work on ward by darrenburns.
In 2021 I changed the way I navigate between tmux sessions big time. Now I can create, kill, switch with ease, and generally keep work separated into logical groups.
Since making this post, I have made ~20 other posts in short form that all have a YouTube video to go along with them you can find them all on my tmux-playlist.
I took Chris’s tmux course in December 2020 and it was fantastic. Even as a seasoned tmux user, I learned quite a bit. Before the course, I was proficient in navigating within each of my tmux sessions but rarely started more than one session. A few months later, I have adopted a lot of what I learned from Chris and made it my own.
