修改快捷键绑定
tmux allows a command to be bound to most keys, with or without a prefix key. When specifying keys,
most represent themselves (for example ‘A’ to ‘Z’). Ctrl keys may be prefixed with ‘C-’ or ‘^’, and Alt
(meta) with ‘M-’. In addition, the following special key names are accepted: Up, Down, Left, Right,
BSpace, BTab, DC (Delete), End, Enter, Escape, F1 to F12, Home, IC (Insert), NPage/PageDown/PgDn,
PPage/PageUp/PgUp, Space, and Tab. Note that to bind the ‘”’ or ‘’’ keys, quotation marks are neces‐
sary, for example:
bind-key ‘”‘ split-window
bind-key “‘” new-window
Commands related to key bindings are as follows:
bind-key [-cnr] [-R repeat-count] [-t mode-table] [-T key-table] key command [arguments]
(alias: bind)
Bind key key to command. Keys are bound in a key table. By default (without -T), the key is
bound in the prefix key table. This table is used for keys pressed after the prefix key (for
example, by default ‘c’ is bound to new-window in the prefix table, so ‘C-b c’ creates a new
window). The root table is used for keys pressed without the prefix key: binding ‘c’ to
new-window in the root table (not recommended) means a plain ‘c’ will create a new window. -n
is an alias for -T root. Keys may also be bound in custom key tables and the switch-client -T
command used to switch to them from a key binding. The -r flag indicates this key may repeat,
see the repeat-time option.
If -t is present, key is bound in mode-table: the binding for command mode with -c or for normal
mode without. For keys in the vi-copy or emacs-copy tables, -R specifies how many times the
command should be repeated.
See the WINDOWS AND PANES section and the list-keys command for information on mode key bind‐
ings.
To view the default bindings and possible commands, see the list-keys command.
list-keys [-t mode-table] [-T key-table]
(alias: lsk)
List all key bindings. Without -T all key tables are printed. With -T only key-table.
With -t, the key bindings in mode-table are listed; this may be one of: vi-edit, emacs-edit,
vi-choice, emacs-choice, vi-copy or emacs-copy.
send-keys [-lMR] [-t target-pane] key …
(alias: send)
Send a key or keys to a window. Each argument key is the name of the key (such as ‘C-a’ or
‘npage’ ) to send; if the string is not recognised as a key, it is sent as a series of charac‐
ters. The -l flag disables key name lookup and sends the keys literally. All arguments are
sent sequentially from first to last. The -R flag causes the terminal state to be reset.
-M passes through a mouse event (only valid if bound to a mouse key binding, see MOUSE SUPPORT).
send-prefix [-2] [-t target-pane]
Send the prefix key, or with -2 the secondary prefix key, to a window as if it was pressed.
unbind-key [-acn] [-t mode-table] [-T key-table] key
(alias: unbind)
Unbind the command bound to key. -c, -n, -T and -t are the same as for bind-key. If -a is
present, all key bindings are removed.
