Overview

This is to document the behviour of tmux, and how could we use it in testsuite

Tmux concepts and working info

• Tmux creates a main server process, and one new process for each session.

• -s and -n for window naming.

• We have prefix keys to send commands to tmux.

Sample usage with spf

Sending keys to termux and controlling from outside.

Knowledge sharing

• tmux new 'spf' - Run spf in tmux
• tmux attach -t <session_name> attach to an existing session. You can have two windows duplicating same behaviour.
• tmux kill-session -t <session_name> kill session
• Ctrl+B+: - Enter commands
• Ctrl+B+D - Detach from session
• :source ~/.tmux.conf - Change the config of running server
• We have already a wrapper library for termux in python !!!!!
• How to send key press/tmux commands to the process ?
