#MAC SWAP CONTROL AND COMMAND KEYS WINDOWS 10#
Here are some of the tmux keybindings I have set up with Alacritty to create more macOS like keyboard shortcuts: ~/. Allow you to swap two keys with each other - e.g. (Can I bind 2 keys at the same time using regedit)Since Im using windows 10 I wonder how can I rebind some keys. Now, while inside tmux, you can hit cmd+t to create a new window! The principles learned here can be applied to any key binding with any keystroke combination you can think of.
We will use xxd to record our keystrokes and dump the hex codes we need.įirst run the following command (outside of tmux): Terminal window xxd -psd In order to simulate a keystroke, Alacritty uses hex codes, which is simply a combination of characters.įor our example, we need to get the hex code values for c. New tabs in macOS are created with the cmd+t keyboard shortcut. tmux windows share the same UI pattern as tabs in macOS (ex: Safari tabs or Finder tabs). To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold one or more modifier keys and then press the last key of the shortcut. In macOS, keyboard shortcuts are driven by the command key plus an additional key.Īs an example, you can create a new tmux window with prefix+c. tmux uses a prefix (default: control+b) followed by a key to run a key binding. We will go through the following steps:īefore you can assign the keyboard shortcut you have to decide what you want it to do.

In this article, I’m going to show you how to create your own keyboard shortcut for tmux. So, using the Alacritty terminal emulator, I found a way to customize tmux with my own macOS style keyboard shortcuts using the command key. I spent months building the muscle memory for the tmux keybindings, but it always felt slow compared to the macOS keyboard shortcuts. Unfortunately, tmux is a tool used in the terminal that doesn’t leverage the command key at all, but rather all of it’s commands are prefixed with the keystroke ctrl+b followed by a letter (ex: new window is ctrl+b c).
Most power users agree that staying away from the mouse and keeping your hands on the keyboard for as long as possible will help you be faster and more efficient while working. Click Keyboard Shortcuts on the right, then select Modifier Keys in the list on the left. (You may need to scroll down.) Open Keyboard settings for me. On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Keyboard in the sidebar. You’re probably familiar with cmd+c for copying to the clipboard, and cmd+t to create a new tab in Safari. You can change the action that modifier keys, such as Control or Option, perform when you press them. As a longtime macOS user, I am used to using the command key to get a lot done.
