Help wanted: Showing the two terminal windows

[kaspersoerensen]

Hi there,

First off: This is a very nice compilation of dotfiles. They have helped me out a lot! However, I can't figure out how to get the two terminal windows, that you display in the screendump. Can you explain how you achieved that?

Hey @kaspersoerensen, you can achieve that by using tmux.

I have hotkeys set up for quickly creating split panes in tmux, check out this file https://github.com/epilande/dotfiles/blob/master/tmux/tmux.conf.symlink#L65-L66

Here's an illustration of how that set up is running (iterm + tmux + vim).

┌────────────────────────────────┐

Okay - I think I get it now. I need to spend some time understanding the key-bindings in tmux I think 😉. Thank you very much for the help!
