A tmux Cheatsheet I Actually Use

Most tmux cheatsheets try to teach you everything at once. Here's the small subset that covers almost everything you'll actually do day to day.

Starting a Session

tmux new -s work

Reattach later with:

tmux attach -t work

The Essentials (Prefix is Ctrl-b)

Listing and Killing Sessions

tmux ls
tmux kill-session -t work

That's genuinely most of it. Everything else you'll pick up by reading man tmux the one time you actually need it.
