How do I terminate a window in tmux?

How do I terminate a window in tmux? L开发者_开发技巧ike the Ctrlak shortcut in screen, where Ctrla is the prefix.

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 &

<Prefix> & for killing a window

<Prefix> x for killing a pane

If there is only one pane (i.e. the window is not split into multiple panes, <Prefix> x would kill the window)

As always iterated, <Prefix> is generally CTRL+b. (I think for beginner questions, we can just say CTRL+b all the time, and not talk about prefix at all, but anyway :) )

Generally:

tmux kill-window -t window-number

So for example, if you are in window 1 and you want to kill window 9:

tmux kill-window -t 9

For me solution looks like:

1. ctrl+b q to show pane numbers.
2. ctrl+b x to kill pane.

Killing last pane will kill window.

Kent's response fully answered your question, however if you are looking to change tmux's configuration to be similar to GNU Screen, here's a tmux.conf that I've used to accomplish this:

# Prefix key
set -g prefix C-a
unbind C-b
bind C-a send-prefix

# Keys
bind k confirm kill-window
bind K confirm kill-server
bind % split-window -h
bind : split-window -v
bind < resize-pane -L 1
bind > resize-pane -R 1
bind - resize-pane -D 1
bind + resize-pane -U 1
bind . command-prompt
bind a last-window
bind space command-prompt -p index "select-window"
bind r source-file ~/.tmux.conf

# Options
set -g bell-action none
set -g set-titles on
set -g set-titles-string "tmux (#I:#W)"
set -g base-index 1
set -g status-left ""
set -g status-left-attr bold
set -g status-right "tmux"
set -g pane-active-border-bg black
set -g pane-active-border-fg black
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

# Window options
setw -g monitor-activity off
setw -g automatic-rename off

# Colors
setw -g window-status-current-fg colour191
set -g status-bg default
set -g status-fg white
set -g message-bg default
set -g message-fg colour191

If you just want to do it once, without adding a shortcut, you can always type

<prefix> 
:
kill-window
<enter>

ctrl + d kills a window in linux terminal, also works in tmux.

This is kind of a approach.

Lot's of different ways to do this, but my favorite is simply typing 'exit' on the bash prompt.

While you asked how to kill a window resp. pane, I often wouldn't want to kill it but simply to get it back to a working state (the layout of panes is of importance to me, killing a pane destroys it so I must recreate it); tmux provides the respawn commands to that effect: respawn-pane resp. respawn-window. Just that people like me may find this solution here.

By default
<Prefix> & for killing a window
<Prefix> x for killing a pane
And you can add config info

vi ~/.tmux.conf
bind-key X kill-session

then
<Prefix> X for killing a session

I can confirm following working on tmux running in ssh via Windows Command:

Copy: Press shift, select using mouse, press Ctrl+Shift+C

Paste: Shift+Right click

No special settings were needed.
