Tmux From Scratch – Part 2: Make It Look & Feel Amazing

In this video, I’m sharing how I’ve customized tmux to feel cleaner, more intuitive, and just overall better for daily use. Out of the box, tmux can feel a bit clunky, but with the right tweaks, it can become a seamless part of your workflow. I’ll walk you through how I built my tmux config from scratch, with sensible defaults, a cleaner UI, better navigation between tmux and Vim, session persistence, and more.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series. If you're new to tmux, check out Part 1, where we covered the essentials. Otherwise, let’s dive in and upgrade your tmux experience!
