SHIFT+F2 does not create a horizontal split in byobu in tmux mode (using Putty client from Windows 7).

SHIFT+F2 just gives me '~' in the terminal.

Byobu installed on Debian 8.11.

Using byobu version:

byobu -v
byobu version 5.87
tmux 2.3

Any idea why SHIFT+F2 is not working in byobu?

  • Any idea why SHIFT+F2 is not working in byobu? ... how do you know that the problem is with byobu? ... have you tried it on a local terminal, not on an SSH connection from windows 7? Commented Jan 3, 2021 at 18:08
  • Well, because splitting works from tmux. Commented Jan 3, 2021 at 23:45

Try to use a different SSH client. I used MobaXterm and it only accepted vertical split, but when I used Windows terminal (cmd.exe) it worked as expected.

  • cmd.exe if far from a good command line terminal. This is why I use Putty, which is more versatile. Commented Jan 13, 2023 at 17:41
