The "maximize any pane to a new window with `<prefix>+` " feature is different
[Urlview]: https://packages.debian.org/stable/misc/urlview
This configuration uses the following bindings:
- `<prefix> C-c` creates a new session
- `<prefix> e` opens `~/.tmux.conf.local` with the editor defined by the
`$EDITOR` environment variable (defaults to `vim` when empty)
- `<prefix> r` reloads the configuration
- `<prefix> C-f` lets you switch to another session by name
- `<prefix> C-h` and `<prefix> C-l` let you navigate windows (default
`<prefix> n` and `<prefix> p` are unbound)
- `<prefix> Tab` brings you to the last active window
- `<prefix> h` , `<prefix> j` , `<prefix> k` and `<prefix> l` let you navigate
panes ala Vim
- `<prefix> H` , `<prefix> J` , `<prefix>` K`, `<prefix> L` let you resize panes
- `<prefix> <` and `<prefix> >` let you swap panes
- `<prefix> +` maximizes the current pane to a new window
- `<prefix> m` toggles mouse mode on or off
- `<prefix> U` launches Urlview (if available)
- `<prefix> F` launches Facebook PathPicker (if available)
- `<prefix> Enter` enters copy-mode
- `<prefix> b` lists the paste-buffers
- `<prefix> p` pastes from the top paste-buffer
- `<prefix> P` lets you choose the paste-buffer to paste from
- `C-l` clears both the screen and the history
Additionaly, `vi-choice` , `vi-edit` and `vi-copy` named tables are adjusted
to closely match [my own Vim configuration][]
[my own Vim configuration]: https://github.com/gpakosz/.vim.git
Bindings for the `vi-choice` mode-table:
- `h` collapses the current tree node
- `l` expands the current tree node
- `H` collapes all the tree nodes
- `L` expands all the tree nodes
- `K` jumps to the start of list (tmux 2.0+)
- `L` jumps to the end of list (tmux 2.0+)
- `Escape` cancels the current operation
Bindings for the `vi-edit` mode-table:
- `H` jumps to the start of line
- `L` jumps to the end of line
- `q` cancels the current operation
- `Escape` cancels the current operation
Bindings for the `vi-copy` mode-table:
- `v` begins selection / visual mode
- `C-v` toggles between blockwise visual mode and visual mode
- `H` jumps to the start of line
- `L` jumps to the end of line
- `y` copies the selection to the top paste-buffer
- `Escape` cancels the current operation
The "maximize any pane to a new window with `<prefix> +` " feature is different
from stock `resize-pane -Z` as it allows you to further split a maximized pane.
Also, you can maximize a pane to a new window, then change window, then go back
and the pane is still in maximized state in its own window. You can then
minimize a pane by using `<prefix>+` either from the source window or the
minimize a pane by using `<prefix> +` either from the source window or the
maximized window.
Mouse mode allows you to set the active window, set the active pane, resize
panes and select switch to copy-mode to select text.

### Enabling the Powerline like visual theme
You first need to install [fonts patched with powerline symbols][] (see also the
[powerline manual][]).
Powerline originated as a status-line plugin for Vim. Its popular eye-cacthing
look is based on the use of special symbols: < img width = "80" alt = "Powerline Symbols" style = "vertical-align: middle;" src = "https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/553208/10687156/1b76dda6-796b-11e5-83a1-1634337c4571.png" / >
To make use of these symbols, there are several options:
- use a font that already bundles those: this is e.g. the case of the
[2.010R-ro/1.030R-it version][source code pro] of the Source Code Pro] font
- use a [pre-patched font][powerline patched fonts]
- use your preferred font along with the [Powerline font][powerline font] (that
only contains the Powerline symbols): this highly depends on your operating
system and your terminal emulator
- [patch your preferred font][powerline font patcher] by adding the missing
Powerline symbols: this is the most difficult way and is no more documented in
the Powerline manual
