Send command to all window in tmux

gnu-screentmux

Is a way to send the same command to all window in tmux, not to all pane in window. synchronize-panes – send command to all pane in one window. I need something like 'at' in screen.

You could always do something like this:

session=mysession
message="hello world"
tmux list-windows -t $session|cut -d: -f1|xargs -I{} tmux send-keys -t $session:{} $message

You could also bind this to a key in your tmux.conf like this:

bind C-e command-prompt -p "session?,message?" "run-shell \"tmux list-windows -t %1 \| cut -d: -f1\|xargs -I\{\} tmux send-keys -t %1:\{\} %2\""

How to you tell which pane in Tmux is focused

Here are the relevant settings:

pane-active-border-bg colour

pane-active-border-fg colour
    Set the pane border colour for the currently active pane.

So, try adding something like this to your ~/.tmux.conf:

set-option -g pane-active-border-fg blue

That will set a blue border around the active pane. The pane-active-border-bg option can be used for a more visible solution, as well.

How to terminate a window in tmux

try Prefix + &

if you have

bind q killp

in your .tmux.conf, you can press Prefix + q to kill the window too, only if there is only one panel in that window.

if you have multiple panes and want to kill the whole window at once use killw instead of killp in your config.

the default of Prefix above is Ctrl+b, so to terminate window by default you can use Ctrl+b &
