Return to the tmux wiki

Features that differentiate tmux from GNU Screen are:

• menus for interactive selection of running sessions, windows or clients
• window can be linked to an arbitrary number of sessions
• vi-like or Emacs command mode (with auto completion) for managing tmux
• lack of built-in serial and telnet clients
• different configuration language
• different command keys—it is not a drop-in replacement for screen

For more information have a look at the Sourceforge project page of tmux.
