I'm starting this meta due to the responses and down votes received for this question:
The comments (and am guessing the down votes) are here due to the existence of the man page for the following tool (tmux
in this case).
I have unskillfully in the initial question added the part I'm can't seem to find a description of the syntax for customizing the config file
which is a fault on my side and was corrected.
Having that removed, would ask for your opinion of the question as it currently is. I find that the existence of a documentation doesn't imply an invalid question per se.
I find that StackExchange has grown to be a place where people can get quick pragmatic answers to most common problems, and unless a generically formed question, pointing to a documentation isn't an answer but a form of patronizing. Patronizing is bad because it pushes newcomers from starting to use the open source tool and once they get value from it perhaps even participating in it's development.
What I would expect as an answer for this question would be an explanation of what the three commands actually do and how, for those are the commands often seen at user examples and would be more practical to have them as a reference and a man page for whoever wants to know more.
/select-pane
in the man page yields no result. I guess we have a different opinion about distilling the documentation to a particular problem. That's ok, I'd just like to see what is the consensus on that to not get down voted.tmux
manpage is huge and it isn't at all clear that config file lines are equivalent totmux some-subcommand -option -option2
. the existing answer succinctly described the syntax; if the rest of your expectations aren't fulfilled, you could always post your own answer or edit the existing answer to add them.
