• Use - to split a window horizontally and \ or | to split vertically
• Switch between windows with arrow keys or mouse
• x or backspace closes a window, del stops tmux immediately
• n opens a new tmux tab

zsh configs and plugins

• git - useful aliases for git

• zsh-autosuggestions - autosuggestions for commands. The current config is Control + Space in tmux only, and right arrow key in regular terminal.

• sudo - press esc twice to add sudo to the last command you typed.

• web-search - type google *term* in your terminal to search for the term online. Also works for other search engines: yahoo *term*.

• copydir, copyfile. copybuffer - copydir copies the current directory path. copyfile *file* copies the contents of a file, copybuffer lets you use Control + o to copy the current command.

• dirhistory - use Alt + left/right arrow to navigate folders. Alt + up arrow returns you to the home directory.

• history - h prints the history of commands. hs *term* searches through the history with grep. hsi *term* does the same but it's not case sensitive.

• json tools - pp_json prints the json in a nice format. is_json checks if the argument is in valid json format. urlencode_json returns a URL-encoded string for the json, urldecode_json retuns json from a URL-encoded string

• z - z displays your most recent directories.

• bgnotify - useful for long tasks, notifies you when the task is done.

• vscode - vcs opens the current folder in Visual Studio. vsca *dir* adds the directory to the last active window.

• command-not-found - suggests packages to be installed if a package is not found.
